    you can do them together, chest first of course. but if they are lacking, then i would have them on a seperate day. JMO

    Agreed, Chest hits the front delt pretty hard so it will make presses and front raises much harder and of course you need the presses on the heavier side to gain more mass.

    sure, i do them together like said prior you're hitting the front delts in alot of youre pressing movements and dips if you have them in there..so if you throw in some upright rows or side raises, that should be sufficient in hitting those suckers good

    I train my Chest, Triceps, and Front & Medial Deltoids in the same workout... so yes.

    Yes is the answer. There is enough weight involved in bench pressing that only a few other shoulder sets are needed to finish them. It is very prudent to take advantage of overlapping exercises for corresponding bodyparts. For example the bench, especially incline, will go great with military presses. It is not important that you can't press as much weight overhead after chest unless you are training for strength and a specific goal. If you are after stimulation and growth, it is fine to do shoulders with chest IMO.

    Here is my split, as of now:

    Day 1: Chest, Anterior delts, Triceps.

    Day 2: Lower Body

    Day 3: Back, Traps, side and rear delts, Biceps.

    My favorite workout for day 1 is:

    Incline Bench
    Military Press
    Flat flyes
    Dips
    Than a few iso exercises for Chest, delt, tri.
