Hey guys how's it going. So I was just curious on what y'all think about chest/back routines same day? I know everyone responds different and yada yada. I've been doing chest, back, legs, arms routine for 8 weeks during my cycle. So today I'm Gona switch things up and do chest and back for final 4 weeks of my 12 week test only cycle. Wana keep the training fresh and shock those muscles. Plus that was always Arnold's routine so can't hurt. I guess I'm just wondering what everyone thinks about it? Do they feel the results are better with doing big muscles groups on their own separate days or with the mix up. Again, I know different stimulus can spark new growth, just looking for opinions on splits and such....thanks guys!

New splits. Thoughts on chest/back routines

Personally I cant do these well. I dont feel like I recover quick enough for a split like that to be effective.
Best growth is from tearing muscle fibers down and letting the heal.
Overtrain and you cant recover. = No growth...
My back training is just once a week same with chest.

well your back is one of the biggest muscle groups besides legs so I think it may be counter productive, but hey everyone is different. me personally I wouldn't or couldn't do it.
I do chest/back, so I love push pull exercises.. But its a whole since on how your split is set up. The way I do it is I have primary and secondary body part for that day. So lets say monday is my chest day that would be my primary so i would take my time with chest doing about 7 different workouts. Then i would hit back and do about 4 different workouts. Then for back day i will switch it up..

i only have 2 splits per week and that is bis tris calves and abs on Wednesdays and Saturdays otherwise it is 1 BP per day
I've run very similar splits with great success. As long as you know you can recover well enough, and factor this into your routine, these do well for me. For me it's a good way to change things up.
My last routine was chest/back on same day and I varied what I started with depending on the feel of the day. Personally I liked it, but you can't do it forever as it is tiresome and eventually will wear you down if you're moving lots of weight for multiple exercises/sets. The goal of any workout IMO is to work each muscle extensively full the full ROM emphasizing on the tension and feel of each rep. We all know a shit rep versus a good one. We know when we're tearing that tissue down and flooding it with blood. If after each exercise you don't feel pumped/bigger due to the pump... you haven't done it right. At least that's how 44 feels about it.
I like chest/back and legs/shoulders split. That's what I did the last 4 months and packed on a lot of size and strength. I alternate. One chest, one back, and back and forth. Hit it twice a week. One day I start chest. One day back.
