Muscle Groups to work together?

[Elluzion]

I do a 5 day workout (m-f) then rest on sat , sunday.

I am starting back up on working out.

I used to do this routine:
Monday: Biceps and Back
Tuesday: Chest, Triceps, Shoulders
Wednesday: Legs and abs
Thursday: Biceps and Back
Friday: Chest, Triceps, Shoulders

im on a bulk.


What should i be doing differently? I know I should probably get another day of legs correct? am I working the right muscles together??

[MidwestMonster]

Meh, I'm not a fan of a straight week of work, but if its not broken, don't fix it.

M - B/B
Tu - Rest
W - C/T/S
Th - L/A
Fri - Rest

Get a completely separate day for arms. It helped mine.

mon-chest/tris
tues-off, usually i do abs and forearms

mon-chest and bis
tues-legs
weds-shoulders
thurs-back and tris
friday-chest,bis and legs
but i like to keep my muscles guessing,i switch up often some weeks doing one muscle group per day,some weeks switching muscles groups,like chest with tris,back and shoulders,legs and abs.ist of march i go back to circit traing and hardcore cardio,to get ready for summer

[dEaFTOLiGhT]

My routine goes like this, if anyone has any suggestions to improve, let me know.
The numbers are how many different exercises I do for each muscle group. I do 4 sets for every exercise. Every day is followed by some ab work and 30 minutes of cardio.

Mon - Chest (4x) and Triceps (2x)
Tue - Back (4x) and Biceps (2x)
Wed - Legs (6x) and Forearms (2x)
Thu - Shoulders (4x) and Chest (2x)
Fri - Triceps (2X), Biceps (2x), and Back (2x)

Anybody have any thoughts on this?

You bulk ? Then you need a lot more rest on your muscle to let em grow.

You shoud do something like this

Chest-bi
Legs Calves
Shoulder/traps triceps
rest
back.
rest
rest

There is no overtraining, just underrecuperating !

Anyways, it only takes 48 hours for a muscle to repair enough for the next workout.
