Split Routines for Shoulders/Back Overlapping?

[skeleton_keys]

Hey all...I do a split routine, with Chest/Shoulders/Triceps one day, Back/Biceps/Legs the next, rest, repeat, rest, rest. With cardio whenever on rest or workout days.

What I'm wondering is, are my back and shoulder exercises overlapping to the point it might hinder growth since they're only a day apart? Or am I doing the wrong exercises for each part?

For shoulders I do:

- Behind Neck Barbell Press
- Military Press
- Dumbbell Lat Raise
- Upright Barbell Row

And for back:

- Cable Pulldowns, Straight Down and Leaning Back, Regular and Wide Grips
- Straight-On Cable Rows with Cambered Front Lat Bar
- Dumbbell Shoulder Shrugs
- Straight-Arm Cable Pulldowns

Any helpful advice would be appreciated, thanks for reading!

No, because you are not doing reverse shouler raises so the posterior deltoids are not getting worked at all on shoulder day.

You're pushing one day, pulling the next, with the exception of upright rows. There's nothing wrong with that, just remove upright rows from your program.

Thanks, guys...just to make sure I understand, when I do the standing barbell press with the bar behind my neck, that's not what you meant by reverse shoulder raises? (Like a military press, only in back of my head instead of in front.) Are the exercises on my back day working my posterior delts?

And should I just move the upright rows to my back day, then?

Thanks again!

That'll hit your rear delts.

There are much better lifts you can substitute for upright rows, i.e. high pulls, any kind of olympic lift (cleans, snatches), jump shrugs. And they would go on back day.

Thanks! I'll have to modify it, since I can't lean over like that to exercise, maybe do a lying-on-the-bench style. I've got a permanent rotated pelvic bone injury that prevents me from exerting while I'm leaning or twisting, so I have to tailor my whole routine around that fact. Damn thing went out on me this morning at work just picking up something from my chair...sucks to feel elderly at only 28. :\ But thanks a lot for clearing that up for me, guys!
