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!

Split Routines for Shoulders/Back Overlapping?
Screw the normal people. I'm going to put on a mask and hit people until the world's a better place.

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!Last edited by skeleton_keys; 06-24-2008 at 05:30 PM.

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!
