Rear delt w/ back or shoulders???

[JNel04]

i'm gonna start focusing more on my arms so i had to come up w/ a new split.

mon- back/forearms
tues- chest/shoulers
wed- off
thurs- legs/abs
fri- bi/tri
sat & sun- off

with my back workout and then chest/shoulder tri workout following rite after it where should i put my rear delt in my workout. i had planned on putting it in w/ my shoulder workout but is that not a good idea?

also for my shoulders i plan only to do 8 working sets, thats plenty rite?

military press 3 sets
rear delt 3 sets
lateral raises 2 sets

dont worry i intend on mixin it up from week to week.

Arnie says back in his books too. And as Armie says "If it works for BOUNCER it'll work for me too" !

Chic's don't have to train any different than guys. Your rear delts are primarily a back muscle, they pull your shoulders back with you rhomboids, traps, lats etc. Try hitting them on your sback day. I find high reps and drop sets really blow them out.

I do a lot of back work as it is..and pyramid it.. sometimes drop set when i want a change...

This is from december

[BOUNCER]

Usually i just gaze here and don't post

[BlueAndromeda73]

I do mine on shoulder day since I dows rows on back day it kinda hits em twice

[novastepp]

sorry to hijackbut just a thought after reading... after my chest routine should i do military press? i usually have a different day for shoulders, but would anyone advise me to do shoulders on chest/tri day?

my chst routine for the next 3 weeks...
incline BB press(8,6,4)
decline BB press(8,6,4)
close-grip bench(8,6,4)
flatDB press(8,6,4)
weighted dips (3 sets until failure)
*i did not mention warm-up sets but i do them*

do you think i could add...
military press(8,6,4)
and lateral raises(8,6,4)
in there somewhere?

[novastepp]

I'm only 5'6 125lbs on a good day.. 120 on a bad day..

Sometimes i feel like i'm a bit too lean but it's my body and i can't do anything to change it

I would suggest doing your rear delts with your shoulders. Also, if you want to bring up your arms you could try the following split for about two months.

Mon - Chest & Bis
Tue - Back & Tris
Wed - Shoulder & Bis
Thur - Legs
Fri - Chest & Tris
Sat - Back & Bis
Sun - Rest
Mon - Shoulders & Tris
Tues - Legs
Wed - Chest & Bis
Thur - Back & Tris
Fri – Shoulders & Bis
Sat – Legs
Sun – Rest

BTW, nice back shot Mizfit!

Oh come one, I was expecting this from someone else.

Comments like this is why I've one really good friend who views this board and won't post. And she trains her butt off.

[FullMoonHowlingWolf]

Why.

Simple answer. 1. It's part of your shoulder and we are talking about training your shoulders? 2. Also, because the most successful bodybuilder in the world did it, Arnold Schwarzenegger!

Wow, you back and rear delts look great and you are very lean...but I do not think you are "TOO" lean. I do not know what look you are going for, but if you focused a little more on lats you would have a very nice V-taper.

Just playing...not meant to be disrespectful.

i do my rear delts on back day, usually read db flys and its working great. ive noticed nice growth.. but to add to the subject, would it be better to do shrugs on back day along with rear delts, rows ect??

[chest6]

I don't even feel the need to work front and rear delts, they get a pounding from chest work (mainly dumbbells) and back work (I feel it mainly with rows)

It's not as easy as it sounds..

I have a bit of a metabolism problem and some times my thyroid is a bit off..


And yes most ppl around me call me a freak of nature because of my diet and that i don't weight 200lbs
