OUtta curiosity where is your chest in all this?

I like to work out 6 days in a row. 4 days is forbidden though.

I often workout four days in a row. I have a four day split that I mix up between consecutive days or taking days off between. Assuming they are different body parts, there is nothing wrong with this.

this isn't my workout routine, I can't do chest/shoulders atm.

4 days in a row is fine, i do 5 days a week and take off the weekend. Its okay because your hitting a different group of muscles each day and the weekend is normally enough time to recover

It depends on you if you are gaining something then 4 days are fine if not then try to workout 5 days.

I've been lifting five days in a row for years and I've progressed nicely. Sun-Thurs.

no squats/ dl's?

Also, no offense but that schedule is weak imo. Try:

w- back/bi's
th- legs
f- tri's/ chest (there has to be something you can do)
s- back, bi's, and or squats or dl's

How do you know he doesn't do squats on his leg day, or deadlifts on his back day? Do you go into every thread, assuming the people don't do those two exercises?

Also, do you not take teh time to read the OPs posts?

I workout five days a week, and rest over the weekend. Sundays, I do light stretching and back after it on Monday.

Where are you getting what exercises he is and isn't doing?? Reread his first post, he CAN'T do chest/shoulders.


OP, You should be fine. Out of curiosity, what's up with your shoulders?


Get better soon!

[goodspeed8]

Biceps and triceps have their own days???.......no, lol, I think you'll be ok. You won't be overtraining or anything if that is what you are asking.

Put your panties back on. OP says he had a shoulder injury. He might try machines that don't strain shoulders? Nobody is forcing the guy to go heavy. Also I interjected an opinion suggesting to combine muscle group rather than a biceps day/ triceps day. Don't like it= tough sh!t. I'm asking about squats and dl's to see if he can do them under the circumstances not suggesting that he isn't doing them. Maybe you need to reread my post? Then he can get more from a training day than merely a triceps day and a biceps day. And yeah that 4 day schedule is weak even for one week. Meaning it can be improved, and I was trying to help OP.
