TweetI always like to make sure to separate those so I can make sure my chest or back get the most attention. Arms are relatively easy to train and grow, chest and back are much more complex. I use a rolling split of one bodypart per day with the exception of bi's and tri's, those are trained together. If you are lifting really heavy, the major bodyparts should be separate.

Tweetdo a simple switch. train chest/bis, then back/tris. that way, on both muscle groups, you are starting at 0% fatigue as opposed to about 50% fatigue. make sense?

TweetI LIKE TO SEPERATE CHEST, BACK AND ARMS... I DID THE CHEST BI, BACK TRI THING FOR AWHILE, BUT I'M ALOT FRESHER AND CAN HIT IT HARDER BY SEPERATING THEM

TweetSimple just do two types of lifts that target the chest and tri's together per gym visit. Then use diffent lifts next time you work the chest and tri's. Three or four sets of each type is enough.

TweetOk I worked chest the other day by itself and wow is it sore! I feel really good like I actually got something out of it.

TweetDEPENDING ON HOW HARD I'M TRAINING AS HULK MENTIONED, I MIGHT WORK CHEST ALONE AND BACK THE NEXT DAY, IN THAT ORDER BECAUSE I LIKE THE STRETCH AFTER CHEST, OR IF I WORK BODY PARTS ON THE SAME DAY CHEST AND BACK, BI'S & TRIS, SHOULDERS & LEGS, I HAVE NEVER WORKED CHEST AND TRI'S LIKEWISE BACK & BI'S TOGETHER BECAUSE IT SEEMS I WOULD NOT GET THE FULL POTENTIAL IF I WORKED THE HELL OUT OF MY CHEST THEN MY TRI ROUTINE WOULD BE WEEK. I GET BEST STRENGTH RESULTS ONE MUSCLE GROUP A DAY REST ON SUNDAY. I HAVE FOUND IT IS VERY EASY TO OVERTRAIN WHEN I WORK CHEST AND BACK TOGETHER SO I JUST DO A CPL. LESS SETS PER EXERCISE.

So what order do you go in?

Chest/Abs
Back
Legs/calves
Bis/Tris
Shoulders/Forearms

Something like that?
