what muscle groups to be worked together?
Alright im thinking about going on a new workout plan, following the "UNoffical How to Bulk thread and sample diet" posted on the diet forum, including cardio and all. Im thinking about lifting 4 days with 3 days of cardio on the rest days. Im just confued on what muscle groups should be worked out together on lifting days.
any advise?

if your set on doing muscle groups together id say chest/tris, back/bis, shoulders, and legs. Otherwise id say do something like this:
day1: chest/back
day2: shoulders
day3: legs
day4: arms
you could combine legs with another bodypart, but many people recommend training legs by themselves

Since I would probally use bench press on chest day and military press on shoulder day, wouldnt that be hard on my Tricepts, or would it matter?

It shouldnt be. If you find that it is, space out your workouts better

so how about
day1: chest/shoulders
day2: back
day3: legs
day4: arms
or
day1: chest/tricept
day2: back
day3: legs
day4: bicept/shoulder
would one of those be better or worse? I just dont want to put my tricepts through too much strain through the week.Last edited by mcvays1; 08-29-2004 at 11:32 PM.

day1: chest/tricept
day2: back
day3: legs
day4: bicept/shoulder
That looks good since I wouldn't recommend working shoulders and chest together. However I would simply change the order so you go legs after chest, ie.
day1: chest/tricep
day2: legs
day3: back
day4: bicep/shoulder
To tweak a bit further though - the reason chest & tris are together is that tris are warmed up well after chest. For the same reason I would put bis with back. That would leave shoulders on their own. So to counter that put calves there (and legs day focus on quads and hams). The result:
day1: chest/tricep
day2: quads & hams (throw in some abs perhaps)
day3: back,/bicep
day4: shoulders/calves (perhaps some abs so they are hit twice)
