    Exclamation Routine and question: should i train tricep and chest in the same day?

    Hi guys, I found this routine on the net and decided it loooks pretty straightforward so I thought i'd give it a go.

    I have since done a little research and found that many people suggest not to train the triceps and do bench in the same day, and certainly not triceps before bench (i did this today and found out the hard way!). My question is, does this routine look any good? and if I should train triceps on another day to bench then what can I substitute it for on day 1?

    thanks.

    Chest (Day 1)
    Bench Press or Dumbell Press
    Incline Press or Dumbell Press
    Dumbell Flyes
    Dips
    Triceps (Day 1)
    Lying Triceps Extensions
    Overhead Triceps Extensions
    Triceps kickbacks
    Back (Day 2)
    Chin Ups
    Barbell Row
    Pullovers
    One Arm Dumbell Row on Bench
    Biceps (Day 2)
    Preacher Curl Barbell or Dumbell
    Alternate Dumbell Curls
    Shoulders (Day 3)
    Seated Shoulder Press
    Standing Side Laterals
    Seated Bent Lateral Raises
    Medium Width Upright Row
    Shrugs
    Calves (Day 3)
    Seated Calf Raise
    Standing Calf Raise
    Legs (Day 4)
    Squats
    Leg Press
    Stiff Leg Dead Press
    Leg Curls
    Leg Extensions
    Abdominals (Day 1 & 3)
    Abdominal Crunches
    Side Twist abdominal Crunch
    **Tips**
    -Do a 5-10 minute warmup
    -For muscle building do 8-10 reps
    -Do 3 to 4 sets
    -Always take small drinks of water during workout
    -Get at least 8 hours of sleep for proper recuperation

    NO. Most people include maybe 1 or 2 supplemental exercises after they're core lifts. For Chest, doing Bench Press, DB Bench, Flys, Incline Work, all work triceps in the movements. It is wise to have atleast 1 or 2 isolation exercises for the smaller muscles involved with your primary lifts and muscle.
    Example, i usually finish up my chest routine with a push up circuit, some tricep extension type exercise, or a plyometric.

    You could take some of your tricep and bicep exercises out and put in more exercises for chest and back. biceps and triceps are used when working of those major muscle groups.

    You also don't need a lot of exercises. Just up the volume or intensity and you will see significant gains just from your core exercises.
    For back, you could throw in some Lat Pull Downs. Romanian Dead Lift, Standard Dead Lifts, T Bar Rows, Seated Cable Rows...

    ^ all of the above are prime lifts for building mass and muscle.

    Instead of squats. Just find the nearest "large" person...grab him and run around with him on your back. Youll feel a burnnnn

    thanks guys

    cheers for the advice guys, I am thinking of adding in some declined push ups for chest and some lat pulldowns for the back. Will this be enough?

    Also, I am aware that my routine does not have any deadlifts anywhere, on which day do you suggest that I might add them in,
    ? as with this routine I am training legs and back on different days.

    thanks
