I am currently on a four day split, but whenever I do chest and triceps I get real sore for about 3 to 4 days. The soreness is affecting my current program. Looking for a new split solution.
Currently
M shoulders
T Legs
T Chest/Triceps
F Back/biceps

i wish i still got sore. i was told taking a 10 minute jog after a workout is suppose to recirculate your blood cleaning out some lactic acid? from the muscles you worked. idunno try it.

Triceps only need 2 exercises and 2 sets per exercise max. And no need for warmup sets either.

i think its a bad combo its better to keep them seperate so by the time you get to the next body part your not burnt out for ex:
chest/biceps
back/triceps
shoulders/forearms/traps
quads/calves/ham's/absi rep back

Can you fill us in on what your current chest + tri day looks like? You might just be overdoing it. No reason not to group these together IMO.

incline bench press3x12
incline flyes 2x12

I get sore for a few days, but all is great
Since I hit it pretty hard I give them about 8 days rest then do it all over again. I currently use an Every other day training program
