Yeah! i've also noticed that many other ppl are doing chest on mondays too, as there is always a big wait for the bench press n benches.

Chest, bi's, and tri's seems like an awful lot for one workout.

I have a 5 day plan. The workout I start the week off with I end with. I make sure that every week I start with a different body part so that I am not doubling up the same body part each week.

Here's how it goes.
week #1
legs/abs
back/shoulders
arms/abs
chest
legs

Week #2
back/shoulders
legs/abs
arms/abs
chest
back/shoulders

week #3
arms/abs
legs
back/shoulders
chest
arms/abs

week#4
chest
legs/abs
arms
back/shoulders
chest/abs

What about this then?

-Chest/Tri
-Legs/Bi
-Back/Shoulder
-Cardio

I split the Bi/Tri days up so that one is with chest and one with leg.

You may not be able to lift as much with your tri's if you work them on the same day as chest.

Why not? You get a lot of the tri workout in the chest press excercises. Also, I see that in most peoples routine they do tris on chest day.

That is his point. I do a Chest/Tri day and when i'm done with chest exersizes my tris are already tired. Sure I may not be able to go as heavy on the rest of the workout, but the work is still being done. It's the price we pay

My tri are lagging so I try to seperate them from chest so that they get hit twice. On the day that is just arms, I can go very heavy and try to build them.
