Working out back to back days....

[Tannoi]

I know it's not ideal, but is it really that bad to do shoulders/back one day, then chest/bi/tri the next?

I know there are other split alternatives, etc. But wanna give this a try.....any thoughts?

You will get different opinions, but when all is said and done, you will have to try it out Yourself to see how well you recover.

You may want to try doing chest/tri's first, and the next day shoulder/back/bi's. Just an opinion.

Hmmmm...good point. Could try that.

I guess my main concern is regardless of the split I do, is back to back days going to negatively affect my gains? I mean, is it THAT big a deal?

I'm used to taking a day off in between, so this back to back stuff is new for me. I won't be working the same muscle twice, but there's always crossover to some degree.

you should be fine. GIve it a whirl and see how it goes. If the back to back lifting starts to tire you or hinder gains, try spacing your routine a little bit.

I would give it at least a day in between. I dont think I would be able to workout my chest that well if I did shoulders the day before.

why not combine shoulders on chest and tri day?

Doing Chest and Tri hard one day then the very next day try doing shoulders your lifts will suffer. But hey whatever works for you.
