Which order 2 train each muscle?

[kapaowow]

I would like to know in which order I should train each muscle part? Im looking at splitting my routine up into 5 days for each muscle group, ie Back, Chest, Arms, Shoulders, and legs.
Whats the best order guys?

If you're sure you want to do a 5 day split, then I would advise:
Day 1: Legs
Day 2: Chest
Day 3: Back
Day 4: Shoulders
Day 5: Arms

But there are much better routines that you can put together than that.

personally I like to take the day off after doing legs cause your really using your entire body for squats and deadlifts. Reload on protien and carbs and rest before moving onto other parts.

And when your working your parts I always start with the largest muscle exercise first and them drill down to the smaller parts and movements.

Yeah, I do deadlifts on back and bicep day, so if you decide to use the routine I posted, I would put your days off after legs, and back.

5 days is too much for most lifers. esp if you using HIT or you are hard gainer.

The only problem I see w/ that is you're hitting your tri's 3x a week. You'll hit them when you're doing your chest, tri's, and they're involved in shoulder work too. But everyone is different so it's possible it may work for you tho...

this is what works for me:
day1 chest
day2 arms
day3 legs
day4 shoulders
day5 back

days 2&4 are pretty light compared to 1(bench),3(squat)&5(dead).
i only go 5days cause i like it
i found it impossible to do the HIT principles for arms and shoulders as well.just too much.

hope it helps.

two days between squats and deads is a bad move. not enough recovery time. if you are killin squats then no way you recovered enough to hit deads hard 48 hours later. plus you hittin tris three times per week as well. if its working then with more rest it woud be working better unless you a genetic freak. there are not many of those. I only know two personally.

Here is what works for me...

I only do dead lift about once every 3 weeks or so, and when it is done it is tied in with back day at least 3-4 days after legs.

15 Minutes of cardio each day as well.

Monday: Chest / Triceps / Abs
Tuesday: Back
Wednesday: More Cardio, Abs, Biceps and Forearms
Thursday: Legs
Friday: Shoulders and Speed Bench / Abs

I find the use of resistance bands very helpful as well, they are basically giant rubber bands. I use them on Bench mostly, and anchor chains on squats

Any comments or suggestions, feel free
