I started with upper bench with 45lbs on each side, than moved into flat with the same amount. After that i moved onto lower bench which i had less weights since i didn't feel that well doing too much weight again. I didn't do any free weights because Saturday was my first night back, and i even think i did too much weights or exercises on my chest to began with. I worked on my inner chest as well, because that is the most issue i have right now. So what do you guys think on doing chest and shoulders or chest and arms on the same night. I think it would be better doing back maybe. |
I assume your goal is to build muscle.

I'd say Chest and shoulders, triceps
Because when you workout your chest you hit the shoulders as well to some extent, so do your chest exercises first than continue to shoulder exercises.
Both shoulder and chest workout hit the triceps so you need just a little if any direct work to the triceps at the end of the workout
An example workout would be:
Chest:
Flat bench, incline bench, decline bench or dips,
Shoulders:
military press, behind the back press or rear delt row, lateral raises,
Triceps:
close grip-bench press and pushdowns or skull crusher
I'd say around 3 sets of each exercise, do 6-8 reps
Back and Biceps
Most Back exercises rows, deadlift, pull-ups, lat pulldowns etc. hit the biceps pretty well, so after you finish your back workout you need just a little if any direct biceps work.
A sample workout would be
Deadlift, Barbell row, Pull ups, Close Grip Chin ups, Barbell curl, hammer curl
Around 3-4 sets of each back exercises, 3 sets barbell curl, 2 sets hammer curl, do 6-8 reps
Legs:
Squats, lunges, leg press, leg curl
Linear Mode
