Not at all. I currently hit those 3 groups together on the same day, hit each muscle group once a week, and am in the gym 4 times a week. I have been liking the routine as well.
There's never any 1 absolute way to do things. Learn your body, what works and what doesn't. If it's too much for you, stop. If it's a good split for you and you see progress.. keep doing it.
The pros are the pros because they know their bodies. They realize there is no golden rule for everyone. Find out what you need to do for YOU, and you'll succeed.
Training chest, shoulders, and tris is pretty common. The excersizes for these are "push" or "press" exercisizes. Many people do push/pull splits. I personally prefer upper body/lower body splits.
Quick snapshot of my current routine looks like this:
Day 1: Chest, Shoulders, Triceps
Day 2: Back, Biceps (Run)
Day 3: Off (Run)
Day 4: Quads/Glutes, Hamstrings
Day 5: Traps, Forearms, Calves
Day 6: Off (Run)
Day 7: Off
...unless of course when you train your shoulders it compromises the effort you give your chest and then training your chest compromises the effort you give your triceps....
I promise you your chest workout is heavier and more intense if you DON'T train it after shoulders.
I promise you your tricep workout is heavier and more intense if you DON'T train it after chest.
Too many consecutive pushes diminishes the push...
you have to find the right balance i trained them all together for about 8 weeks
Mondays-
max effort on bench variation
Rep work on whatever lift i maxed on
Shoulder Press heres where it gets tricky if i did incline max or something that stressed the shoulders alot a barbell lift was outta the question id do dumbell or machine shoulder press..
Tricep movement- obviously since everything else was heavy this day id do pulldowns or less stressful tricep movement such as pulldowns..
----
for the second day if u bench heavy u obviously go lite this day
if u did shoulder press with a barbell last week do higher rep dumbells ones this day, if u did dbs the 1st day today barbell is an option
you can also do a heavier tricep movement such as board press pin press db extentions sskull crushers pull overs etc..
i did all this and back work.. ur gonna have to eat ALOT tho no slacking in the kitchen
It is if you bomb and blitz those bodyparts with an ungodly amount of sets and reps in the same session, but if you keep it simple with just a few presses and isolations, you'll be good to go.
