    hey guys


    Hey guys, I'm new here and I thought I would ask a question whilst saying hello.

    I currently train using the following schedule

    Workout A
    Back, Biceps
    Workout B
    Chest, Trcieps, Shoulders
    Workout C
    Quads, Hams, Calves

    I workout Monday, Wednesday, Friday & Sunday so each workout day is
    different each week.

    I have heard about training Back & Chest and Biceps & Triceps together
    rather than the split I use and was wondering if this any better than what I
    currently do?
    or maybe Back & Triceps, Chest & Biceps.

    will this give me better results than my current split?

    Hello again to all

    regards

    Karl

    Indeed, but I am a bit of a chicken and would not want to change my current
    workout in fear of not making any of the gains I would like.
    Maybe I'll try it this summer after messing around with my current workout

    cheers

    If you are making gains with your current routine then dont' change it. But yeah you have to try out each different routine to discover one that is best for you.

    I agree completely, was just hoping there was some sceintific proof that working
    opposite muscle groups was more efficient.
    Gonna try it this thursday, Back & Triceps - I hope it works out ok, I don't wanna overtrain my Biceps by using them for my Back exercises and then training them 2
    days later.
    I always find after back training, my Biceps are pooped. I can manage 25Kg on the
    preacher EZ curls, not including Bar, but would like to try 30Kg.

    cheers for the replies

    In the long run I don't think it matters much, but I personally prefer the original routine you listed.
