I usually do a hard chest/tri workout mondays and thursdays, and then bi's, back, and shoulders tues. and friday, with legs on wed. Question is when i do shoulder press, it seems to be also working my upper chest, and I know it work my tri's. Is this bad, or am I good with what im doing? Thanks for any advice.
If you were working each muscle once a week id say its fine as I do that. But if you hit each twice a week then I wouldnt suggest shoudlers day after chest.
I think you are overdoin it a bit. I'd say your overtraining almost everything except your legs. Then again, I'm not sure what your doing for sets and reps. Why don't you just try something like this:
Monday: Chest/Shoulders/Triceps
Tuesday: Back/Biceps
Wednesday:Legs
Thursday: Off
Friday: Shoulders/Arms
Saturday: Off
Sunday: Off
This routine has worked really well for me, but it might be too much for some others. I think your split would be too much for anyone to handle, unless your on steroids.
Or you can keep it at a simple, tried and tested split that works:
Monday: Chest/Shoulders/Triceps
Tuesday: Off
Wednesday: Back/Biceps
Thursday: Off
Friday: Legs
Saturday: Off
Sunday: Off
In conclusion, I do think you are overtraining your shoulders for sure, along with chest,triceps, back, biceps. But if it works for you, then don't change it, just be careful of overtraining though.
