    Doing chest after leg day = bad?

    So since i've started seriously lifting, i always did a hard leg day and always followed by chest the next. day I read an article on here saying that's a no no, any truth to that?

    This shouldn't be an issue... personally, my rotation is...

    Day 1: Legs
    Day 2: Chest
    Day 3: Arms
    Day 4: Shoulders
    Day 5: Back
    Day 6: Off
    Day 7: Off

    Sometimes the off days rotate as needed to meet a schedule glitch..

    It's a relatively common split, perhaps the rotation isn't for everyone. However, the idea is to keep legs/back at some distance to keep deads/squats from negatively affecting eachother. Other than that, the only is keeping chest work from dipping into delt work too much. The Tri work does affect lifts but not too adversely so - as tri's respond pretty well to volume and seem to recover quite quickly for me.

    No insult was taken, pretty much any half-decent routine can get someone results. Rev's pretty cut up - looks fine imo, but yeah... if he tries to add another 30-40lbs he might sing a different tune... or maybe not, or maybe not lean... tough to say until he does it imo.

    u forgot to add: muscles that would notably hinder ability to do chest exercises.....because after leg day your whole lower body musculature is recovering...

    Wow, do you fail to understand what "in my opinion" actually means? Come on now champ, look beyond the internet **** talking outlook. Wasn't meant to bash on him, I simply stated that IN MY OPINION (this is where you take time to comprehend what I had actually said), that it's too much overlapping.. I don't feel that 2 days is worthy enough to be considered a full recovery. And overlapping doesn't mean you won't make gains, but you can't assume that it doesn't hinder either.

    For the love of God.. grow up and read a full post.

    I don't see why that wouldn't be alright..

    My routine started as a 5 day split 3 years ago and has evolved into (and will continue to ever evolve):

    day1:Chest/Back (arm work if i feel like it)
    Day2: OFF
    Day3:Legs/.. 6-11 set shoulder if im up for it
    Day4:Chest/Back (arm work if i feel like it)
    Day5: off
    Day6:Legs.. 6-11 set shoulder if im up for it
    Day7: off or chest/back day if i feel lke training again

    Leg day i usually squat sometimes dead.. for some reason i haven't deadlifted regularly for a year.. i got to 500 for a max and stopped because of a new split i tried and never workedthem back in.. maybe i'll put them on 2nd leg day every week

    I may have come off the wrong way, even though I had thrown in "no offense".. but here is my reasoning, as simple as it is:

    Day 1: Legs
    Day 2: Chest
    Day 3: Arms
    Day 4: Shoulders
    Day 5: Back
    Day 6: Off
    Day 7: Off

    I don't know about you, but I'm pretty spent after a good leg workout, and that can continue into the next day. Chest is a pretty important day as well. Now, I'm not sure what you incorporate into your chest workout, but I'm pretty sure you have at least 2 chest presses; these work the triceps pretty hard to be expecting an arms day the following day. Also, your front delts are hit hard on a chest day, and 2 days later to be working shoulders again.. I wouldn't feel like they were fully recovered. And again.. a good back workout definitely involves a lot of biceps, which you had just worked 2 days prior.

    Just an opinion, just figured I would throw it out there.. god forbid. It's all about being open-minded.

    And anyways, congrats on the weight loss! I'm almost a year in, and I started at about 220lbs, not sure on my bf% as I didn't want to check it and become unmotivated too quickly haha. Dropped down to 9% and now I'm doing a bit of a bulk.. we'll see how it goes. Anyways, keep it up!

    ill just add that, over time the body adapts to the demands of specific workloads and becomes conditioned so that the you are able to recover more effectively to be able to suit the needs and stresses of a particular routine.

    again , all comes down to the individual
    risk nothing, gain nothing

    I read your full post. That's what drew me into the commentary of it. I don't believe it's too much overlapping. Neither does the person you addressed. And more to the point. The results speak for themselves.

    I don't see how doing chest after legs is bad and whoever said that should get pee'd on.

    Back after legs though that's an entirely different story.

    I get what you are saying concerning squats and deads.

    Have you ever thought though that if the set up was different your results would be even better?

    For me to avoid so much overlap I'd go with

    Day 1: Chest
    Day 2: Back
    Day 3: Off
    Day 4: Shoulders
    Day 5: Legs
    Day 6: Arms
    Day 7: Off

    or alternately do shoulders/triceps on day 4 and biceps/forearms on day 6.

    With a split like that what I even do myself is not even do deads on back day and just stick to rows, pulls, and shrugs.

    Then just do stiff legged deads on leg day.

    Maybe, it all depends on how strict the days off stick to weekends. The delt, tri, bi 'overlap' if you will doesn't seem to be a big deal. They respond to volume and recover quite quickly. It's only the intense leg days that are of any concern for me. Definately don't want quad soreness for deads, and that can take 3-5 days to fully recover as an old man

    to OP, no the chest and legs have nothing in common, as long as you eat, sleep and rest enough during the week you'll be fine
