Should I workout Shoulders if my Chest is still sore?

[BigJohn1989]

I did Chest and Back on Monday, and they still hurt just a little bit.

Is it ok if I do Shoulders today, or should I wait until tomorrow?

My routine is

Monday
Chest, Back

Wednesday
Shoulders, Legs

Friday
Triceps, Biceps

Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday are Rest Days.

Is that enough rest, or should I skip 2 days between each workout?

Let me know, Thanks!

are you new to lifting?

[Bronic]

go do it
your not training chest again in this workout, idk why your contemplating this

[BigJohn1989]

are you new to lifting?

I started in October 2008.

[m1ke1]

id do it - the reason i asked if you were new is because it seems like youre not used to being sore

I am usually only sore the next day, but I went extra heavy on Monday. And I am still just a little sore.

Also, am I giving my Triceps enough rest?

Because they are only sore after Friday, and they get to rest Saturday and Sunday.

But they also get worked a little in chest and shoulder exercises as secondary.

Am I giving them enough rest?

My routine is

Monday
Chest, Back

Wednesday
Shoulders, Legs

Friday
Triceps, Biceps

Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday are Rest Days.

assuming youre eating right and getting enough sleep then id say youre ok imo

Yeah two days is fine especially with no other exercises during those two days

I'll be the odd one out on this.

I say wait and do another body part.

I know that if I tried to go directly from chest on Monday to shoulders on Tuesday I wouldn't get nearly the workout I normally could.

I've tried. I usually do 85's/90's on dumbbell military press. I had to go down to 75's.

I sleep about 8-10 hours a night, and eat a lot of good foods.

This is me after only a few months of training, I think I am making good progress.

I started in October 2008, and this picture was taken just a few weeks ago.

Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday are Rest Days for me.

I never workout 2 days in a row.

Do it.

you should be fine, I would have been more concerned if your shoulder were sore for a chest session.

Maybe low volume is optimal for your body, but for me, I would deffinately not have that many rest days...

[Animal4]

its ok i guess but dont train the fronts just sides and rear because your fronts got destroyed on chest day

[tallthing]

sure why not?

its not like your working your chest again...
