in the past ive always done one muscle group a day. my big concern is that doing two muscle groups in one day might make me feel weak after doing the first group and not get a good workout for the second group of muscle, what do u think?
example is doing.. chest and biceps on a monday
(my arms wll definitely get worked in the chest exercises)
If your diet, recovery, and/or supp/gear are in check, then i think a 5 day split of one muscle group/day would be better, but make sure arms are done on day 5 so you arent hindered, due to fatigue, from doing your large muscle groups. Right now, im also doing chest/bis, shoulders/tris. Since your bis and tris dont require as much work anyway, doing chest first will warm your arms up, so you can jump in heavy on curls. I dont do more than 6 sets of heavy-ass curls, though.Quote:

I agree with your ideas about switching back and forth, but with smaller muscle groups like tris and bis, IMO, that shouldnt be an issue. I would, however, recommend if your doing 2 large bodyparts;ex. chest/back, to switch back and forth.Quote:

i do chest, shoulders, tricepts, lats and back in one day. since my weights are consistantly going up, i am consistantly growing.

I personally do:
Legs
Chest/Shoulders
Back/Traps
Arms
This has worked real well for me and i am rarely if ever fatigued from one excersise to the point that i cannot continue.
Swolecat has a thread about working back and bi's in the same day. Only you don't have to do as many sets with the bi's since they are already pretty trashed from doing back and chest. Same goes for chest and tri's.
I was also doing a 5 day week training session, but now after xmas after switched to a 4 day, found I have alot more energy hat extra day to recover and I can just go nuts even harder, I was doing something like this, chest, back, legs, shoulders, arms. Now im doing Legs, chest+tri's, day off, back+bi's, shoulders+ tri's, has seemed to been working great so far. I was just more less worried about over working, I didn't like the fact that I would be in the gym for 1-2 hrs doing fukin arms so trying something new.
i love that split, chest and bis is a waste IMOQuote:

You just have to do what works for you, everyone's going to be different.
I do:
Chest
Shoulders/Tri's
Back/Bi's
Legs
45 minutes cardio after each workout. I love finishing in a sweat.
peace,
