Shoulders b4 chest
ad
Just got done watching flex wheelers mass construction vd on you tube and noticed this f***in guy trained his shoulders like a beast and then went onto his chest workout that included a set of bb incline with 405lbs! Now there are some pro routines that i think are just stupid wether they work for the pro or not but this shoulders b4 chest i might give a try. Think about it destroy shoulders and then hit chest with zero shoulder assistance could this possible help build the chest even more forcing it to do exercises without shoulder assistance.,...I say this mostly because I unfortunately can only workout four days a week at the moment and this is possibly the answer what do my bros think!

No such thing as overtraining. Only under eating. I'm only going to get one off day a week. By "off day" I mean straight cardio. If your getting enough nutrients, sleep, and a proper cycle the only thing that can hold you back is work ethic and will. Your split only dictates your priority at the time.
hahaha I love that phrase +1
I've actually done this before when I new I wasnt gonna be able to make it in the gym as many days that week as I'd like. Shoulders first, then chest, then tris on the same day. Really blasts my tris and I do notice better isolation in my pecs after hitting my shoulders. Not a good routine to run all the time, but in a time pinch it is pretty effective.
Wardi77I agree with what j223 said, you have to also take in consideration the amount of gear flex wheeler was on, but either way if you do decide to hit shoulders before chest I would highly recommend lighter weights for the chest presses. I would not do shoulders before chest, but if I ever did the chest exercises following the shoulder exercises would consist of nothing but butterflies and maybe some light hammer strength/machine presses. It definitely would not be a heavy pressing day for me.
mr127superdeeya im def not running the same amount of gear as flex lol i def need a four day a week routine at any cost tho
Wardi77I do a 4 day split that goes like this....
Mon-Back
Tues-Chest+Tris
Wed-OFF
Thurs-Legs
Fri-Delts+Bi's
Sat-OFF
Sun-OFF
I might switch things up and at times do chest monday and delts thursday but overall it stays the same, I like to get at least 2 days in between chest and shoulders and sometimes i might do a 3 days split of push/pull style training M W F. Chest+shoulders, Back, Legs
mr127superdeethank you sir this routine will def be put to use
well have not tried it, but make sure if you exhaust and fatigue your shoulders right before a chest workout, don't expect to lift as heavy. Also be cautious to not get an injury
mr127superdeeI here ya brother would you mind helping me out with a more solid 4 day workout routine
I like to mix it up but here's an example
do chest tris same day, back bis same day (because triceps are secondary muscle to chest workouts, and biceps are also secondary to back workouts)
it only makes sense to do biceps same day as back because when you are doing rows, pullups and pulldowns they are being worked
so heres a 3 day split
monday: Legs and shoulders
tuesday: off
wednesday: chest tris
thursday: off
friday: off
saturday: off
sunday: back biceps
or heres a 4 day split
mon - chest tris
tues - off
wed - back bis
thurs - legs
fri - off
sat - off
sunday - shoulders
mr127superdeeThanks a lot that these are very helpful and will be put to use
