Why would you want to do chest 5 times a week? All you're going to to is hinder your ability to improve. Your chest will have no time to recover and in turn won't growCan I do a chest exercises 5 days a week along with my routine? Mon-legs Tues-chest tri's Weds-back & bi's Thurs-shoulders legs Fri-chest
I'd predict possible shoulder issues in your future also, because I would bet that someone that concerned about chest work would put less effort into back & shoulders, more specifically rear delts... I'm not saying you don't work hard... I'm saying you may work harder on chest than supporting muscle groups...Why would you want to do chest 5 times a week?

^^ This is another good point. Muscular balance plays a huge role in your joint and tendon health as well. If you aren't making an effort to balance our strength and physique with proper recovery you're just begging for trouble.I'd predict possible shoulder issues in your future also, because I would bet that someone that concerned about chest work would put less effort into back & shoulders, more specifically rear delts...

I believe your shoulder and chest workout days are too close together. Depending on the overall goal one could hinder the other and lead to an injury IMOCan I do a chest exercises 5 days a week along with my routine?

Many guys I lift with express the same thing. I hit chest directly one day a week and then it gets hit secondarily from doing shoulder work. If you feel the need to have a pump in your chest all the time, just burn out each day with weighted dips.I have not done "chest work" per se in over 5 years simply gets hit enough from twice weekly shoulder lift routines tue. and fri., still chest is better shape than when used to hit heavy weekly
I agree. A strong back will help you bench more anyway so I simply think its a lack of education and poor advice from those other BB sites ....with regards to the hunchbacks you mention. Too much focus on international chest day rather than learning to intimately love the Deadlift. Well .... that's what this site is all about....education. Finding this site and seeking out information to improve his technique clearly shows he is headed down the right path and will ultimately do well. I've found this site to be an incredible wealth of information and a real brotherhood of experienced lifters who truly want to help.ever notice imbalances with guys? guys that look like hunchbacks? if you can bench 350 but only pull 100 you got a problem
