Long Days!

[JMan06]

Okay, well before I state my problem ill give you my workout routine...

Day1 - Chest
Day2 - Arms
Day3 - Legs
Day4 - Back & Shoulders

Only problem is my back and shoulders day is waaay to long. My exercises are

BACK
-deadlifts
-pullbacks
-lat pulldowns
-flies

SHOULDERS
-barbell press
-dumbbell press
-barbell upright rows
-cable crossovers
-heavy shrugs

Since Im doing 2 heavy movements (deadlifts and barbell/military press) it takes a long time. As I take my time in doing those excerises with long rest periods. I do them lifting heavy. 5 heavy sets of 5 and its working well.

Is there a better way to organize my routine? I want to have arms and legs on there own day (a MUST). But if i put my shoulders with chest ill have the same time problem. Should I do a 5 day split as opposed to 4? OR would I be growing better with a 4? I hit the gym 4 to 5 days per week.

I need some advice, ive been too tired and lazy on back/shoulders day.

THANKS,
Julian

my shoulder workout has always been one heavy pressing movement, then side laterals, front laterals, and bent laterals. i dont do upright rows because they have always hurt my shoulders, but if they work for you go for it.

also once you have been working out for a while your intensity will increase and you will need to lower the volume.

for now you could try doing traps with back and delts with pecs

also if you are working out 4 days a week i would do 2 on 1 off, 1 on 1 off, 1 on 1 off. i have really noticed that if you have a day off before your workout, it will be alot more intense.

good luck man
