shoulders on chest day?

[bigbencher]

How many of you do shoulders on chest day? If so do you still work the front delt hard?

Not usually, but sometimes I like to throw one or two exercises in there. On shoulder day, I like to do one or two exercises of chest though.

My best gains as far as muscle quality and size have been when I trained chest/ shoulder and back/shoulders.

I will do a military pressing movement and side laterals on my chest day. Front delts get worked thoroughly on my chest exercises. Then on back day, I will add in upright rows and reverse flys for side and rear delts.

So my split is chest/front delts (pressing movement) and then back/traps rear delts...

It always made sense for me as my shoulders get hit on my presses anyway, just keep it going. I often do all the pushing muscles of the upper body one day.

Thanks for the responses,
It sounds like I am on the right track. I always did triceps with chest until about 6 mths ago.

Personally...I get more out of shoulders when I train them with chest

in one day its chest, shoulders, tris, back width, back thickness

I do chest on monday and add a light chest workout and have seen great results. Also, on Thursdays, I go heavy shoulders and light chest. The mass I have added this past year has been phenomenal.

Yep I like chest, shoulders and tris on the same day. I train DC now. When I train volume I train them seperate. Better growth from DC.

I train shoulders with chest all the time. Since when your training your chest primary your shoulders are also being hit secondary.

I end chest with side laterals and rear delts with back

I do the exact same thing and it works well for me. I train like this during the summer months when I don't have much time to train and usually only train with weights 3 times per week. Chest/front delts, side delts | back, upright rows, rear delts + squats| arms. Works for me.

I cant seem to do military presses as heavy when i combine chest and workout.
You look really huge after combining the two but i for one lose strength in shoulders when i do chest.

I do CHEST/SHOULDERS/TRICEPS the same day. I hit every muscle group from various angles. Depends on your shoulder developement if you need more front delt work.
