Arms and shoulders

**73rr** · 05-18-2016, 09:36 AM

What's happening guys!

I'm looking into changing my workouts a little and adding arms with shoulders ones a week. Instead of a full shoulder day and then training back with biceps and triceps with chest.

My question is= should I train arms and then hit shoulders if it was the same day? Or shoulders then arms?

Shoulders first and then arms is probably better, though personally i prefer a chest/bicep, shoulder/tricep split as i find my triceps are too fatigued after chest exercises to really hit them properly, try it out and see what works for you.

I did that for a long time! I liked it alot but got bored.

I like to change things up. That's y I'm looking into shoulders and arms. Also feel like I need to dedicate a little more to my arms

Its good to change your workout around for sure, helps keep things fresh and gives you a chance to see what your body reacts to the best. I've found for myself that concentrating on one muscle a day during a cycle always nets me my biggest gains vs doing 2 a day.

I do:

M-shoulders
T-bi's
w-chest
Tr-legs
F-back
Sa-Tri's
Su-Whatever doesn't hurt

I most I will do is 5 days a week.my body won't be able to handle 6 or 7 days week. I actually prefer 4 days of destroying my self and then 3 day break.

Dearing the 3 days I do run and play with my two dogs for cardio though.

It really depends on what works best for you..

**ryobi1** · 07-05-2016, 10:32 PM

doing arms first will tire them for shoulders, everything works arms,
do them last

Ever try pairing arms together and hitting delts on there own?

Do shoulders first, as it'll pre-exhaust your tris then you could go right into tris first then finish w/bis.... Or vice versa bis first then tris

I never got all muscle groups in a week. Id suggest hitting delts by there selves and arms on a seperate day as well...usually it took me 10 days to complete a full body workout including rest...if you do delts and arms definitely hit delts first

Lately I have been doing as nach said. Arms and then delt. 4 days on 1 day off 1 day on then 1 day off. That is my week. (Because of work. Otherwise it would be 5 days on 2 days off)

**Euroholic** · 08-23-2016, 01:47 AM

Day 1 Chest
Day 2 back
Day 3 rest
Day 4 legs
Day 5 shoulders/tris
Day 6 bis/traps/forearms
Day 7 rest
Repeat

Never do abs

Hey 73 I couldn't be able to both delts and arms - I was trying to say delts then arms separate bug if you had to work a major and a minor that would be ok(delts/tris or bis) but I also hit traps w/my delts as they're already basically being hit.. I've recently went on an EOD training routine and 8day split b4 I repeat it.... I wasn't resting enough

I'm apologize for that misunderstanding 73

I personally do so much When training all other major large muscle groups that I have a day strictly for arms. Chest day I don't fully extend as to not engage the triceps much. I know a bodybuilding girl who's competing and she has a day strictly for triceps and a day for biceps I believe. I like all my nutrition for that day to go to a focused area (1muscle group). You can't forget to do forearms baby. Also on shoulder day I hit my upper traps. On back day I do my mid trap and lower traps (specific isolation lifts etc that focuse on that specific muscle). I do all my compound lifts first though, to kind of "burn out" that target area with the isolation moves to hit that target zone sir.

Yes that would've been accurate... I tend to use arms on the same day as well - I am trying something different now in hopes to force some growth

Actually I'm trying to do a very slow cut for a cycle after I get married in November.

So I will be working on dropping fat down until November 5th. After that it's all on the gain train.

So far I went from 210lbs to just under 200lbs. Witch is a mind f*** for me because I have a hard time gaining real size!
