    I did it for a couple workouts and it just isnt worth it. If you want to vary your training split you could do something like back/shoulders, chest/traps, arms

    well, it all depends on how you do it... ive been cutting out all the little bs excersises that dont do much for me, and im hitting chest every 3 days ...once with tris the other with shoulders
    example sunday:
    4-6 rep range- train to failure
    flat DB press.. 2 working sets
    declinde BB.. 2 working sets
    flys.. 2-3 working sets
    tri workout

    Thursday:
    8-12 rep range, short of failure
    incline BB press.. 2-3 sets
    shoulder press.. 2-3 sets
    incline fly.. 3 sets
    lateral raises.. 2-3 sets

    For me personally doing chest and shoulders doesnt work out too good because whichever i do first ends up making those muscles too pumped and tight and that makes the second part cause me injuries. I now add shoulders to leg day that way there is no conflict.

    I used to do chest / shoulders / tris / traps

    now I do chest / tris /traps

    legs shoulders abs

    back bis

    If i have done chest then go to do shoulders, my shoulders dont feel good and are already sore, especially dumbell shoulder press, not so much the barbell.

    Although I dont enjoy reverse grip pull downs for back with sore shoulders.

    I am yet to figure out where to put shoulders. lol
