Why is ok to do bi's and back on the same day but not chest and shoulders.Bi's are getting hit when you do back and shoulders are getting hit when you do chest..So whats the difference???
This may seem dumb

numbnutz ... if you do cardio after lifting, make sure that you take a protein shake between the two. mainly because your body will begin to heal your newly worked muscles, and of course, it needs protein to do so 
if you start cardio right after your body will go into a catatonic state and actually eat your muscles for then energy that it needs to do cardio forever how long it is.
also... read the 5 x 5 sticky, it was very helpful to me, i was once (like 2 weeks ago lol) like you thinkin more more more more, but in fact i found out that less is more
@ dadawg
yes i too am definatly interested in what the workout on thursday is please share

W00t you really use this?works for you? doesnt seem like a whole hell of a lot.I hate that feeling that I havent done enough.Ill give it a shot people seem to happy with it.Also do you do just like one group a day,or do you do lkike chest and shoulders same day.????Im trying to change things up a bit And im curious what other people do.
Also,what if I did the cardio first?

5 work sets on bench reverse grip 5-6 reps [ sometimes with chains, bands or bench shirts ]weasel0803 said:@dadawg
just curious....what's your workout like for your thursday's main event
Thanx
3 -4 sets hammerstrength overhead press
3-4 sets of hammerstrength decline or incline press [ i mix it up ]
3 sets skullcrushers
3 sets cable pressdowns
3 sets side delt work either machine or dumbbells
this is average and about minimum , sometimes i will throw in pec deck and rear delt work and i always warm up good i usually take a warm up set for just about every excercise .
i think they wanted to know about back/leg day. you doin 75% of your body on one day.
chest shoulders and tris go well together just as back and bis do. make sure to do rear delts on back day and not chest day. ( i dont do shoulders, cause the compound movments takes care of them for me).

and so far it has been working for me 
for me its :day 1: chest/tris
day 2: back
day 3: shoulders
day 4: a little bis and abs
day 5: legs
and on off days i do cardio, about 45 mins each day
i had been severly overtraining myself doing 25-30 sets a day
now i do 9 sets each day total ive made a lot of changes, and i feel better about it

Is this true or not??
There have been so many people here and posts saying exactly what you said above but then so many saying that doing your cardio after your workout is the optimal time for doing cardio b/c your body is depleted of its glycogen stores so it'll burn fat for energy, not muscle. I wish there was a definite answer on this....

yea i am not 100% certain... pullinbig or needsize im sure have some more insight on this
but i know that after a good day of lifting, my muscles are worked, and i can feel it what happens when you cut your finger? your body begins to basically form a blood clot around the broken blood vessles.. and it starts to do this immediately. when you work your muscles there are little tears in the fibers of your muscle, and they get repaired. i dont see any evidence saying that your body puts muscle repair on hold... thats why within 30 mins after finishing my lift i at least start drinkin, if not finish my protein shake thats my 2 cents...

U can read lots of contradicting info on this, but it makes sense to do cardio post workout
