How the F does this popular split work

[cherrydrpepper]

Day 1: Chest and Triceps
Day 2: Back and Biceps
Day 3: Legs and Shoulders
Day 4: Rest day

I have met numerous people who use this split and I can't figure out how they deadlift one day then squat the very next day if they are lifting with intensity. I know sometimes when I deadlift, depending on my technique or style, it feels like its all back doing the work. Thats the only way I could see this working out.

I guess what im trying to say is I want to do this split but am having trouble wrapping my head around it. Is anyone here doing a split like this and getting good results?

Not I. By the time I get done with something like Chest, Back or Legs, I am totally wiped. I wouldn't give my arms or shoulders any justice. And like you said, sometimes I have to wear my lifting belt just to work out the next day after doing heavy deadlifts. I couldn't imagine trying to squat.

well ronnie coleman followed something like this for many years, excluding shoulders w/ legs.

i guess it comes down to time/genetics/rest/diet

I use that split but I also add a rest day in every other day

monday chest and tri's

tuesday rest day

wednesday back and bi's

thursday rest day

friday legs and shoulders

saturday rest day

sunday chest and tris

monday rest day

etc...

Its only 4 days a week but they say rest and food is where you grow..

when they say back and bi's

they mean upper back!!

You do lower back with your leg day.

I like this:

Chest/Tri
Bi/Back (upper)
shoulders/calves
Legs/Back (lower)/abs

Thats when im taking a break from my power lifting programs.

That is the workout that makes no sense, two large muscles in the same day does not work.

No way you can train each properly in a 1/2 hour window.
