Hi guys
So I know a popular Trend here is that guys split their bodies into three workouts, which would be Push Pull and legs.
my question for you guys is how do you arrange the push days? Pushing seems like honestly it's the hardest day because it involves chest pressing, shoulder pressing, and tricep pressing.
For example, every time I have tried to do a really heavy push day, either the triceps or the shoulders end up suffering in the amount of weight that I can lift. For example if I do incline press, then bench press... I have never been able to put up an impressive military press or shoulder press as a 3rd exercise. And then as I continue on to do dips and tricep work, they are also more fatigued than if I were to do them fresh on their own day
so I guess my question is, how do you manage fatigue between all your heavy lifts from pressing chest, shoulders, and triceps in the same workout? And do you find this more advantageous then training each of those muscles separately on their own day with maximum intensity, where you would be able to lift heavier weights.... albeit less frequently?
