For my workout routine i do:
day 1: Chest/Shoulders/abs
day 2: back
day 3: rest
Day 4:Biceps/triceps/forearms
day 5: legs/abs

For me at least when i work back or chest my arms dont get too sore so i like to dedicate a whole day on arms only. i dunno if its right or wrong but its been working out ok for me.

For a plethura of reasons. I used to train triceps on chest day until I realized how less effective it was for me. Obviously you train your tri's after you train your chest, and if I had a intense chest workout, I would have barely an energy left to hit tri's. And on the days that I forced myself too, my tricep routine would be half ass because Im half spent already.

i dont think your lifts would really be set up like that if you were really serious about powerlifting comps....


would they?

I've tried 3 different methods. ONe being the bi/tri day. 2nd being the back/tri or opposing muscle group theory and last i've done chest/tri's, the assistance theory.

I find chest tri's to be the best and for a powerlifter it relaly makes sense especialy, if you are a 3 lift lifter.

I'm with this guy.

chest/shoulder/tri
rest
back/bi/trap -deads every other week
rest
legs
rest

my best spilt thus far. I'd done the chest/bi, legs/shoulders, back/tri biz...it's good for changing things up but never resulting in anything great. I've also done the chest/back, shoulder/bi/tri, legs...but could never get enough out of the chest/back day even though the arms days gave me a great pump.
