Workout Questions - Split Workouts For Maximum Muscle Growth

Workout Question:
Should I work my shoulder and legs in one day,chest and triceps the next, and back and biceps? I don't know what to do.

Workout Answer:
The "Push/Pull" method is a great training routine I like to recommend. With the "Push/Pull" method, you're basically pushing on one day and pulling on the next which is a nice way to split up your muscle groups over the course of a week. Here is a sample workout routine:

MONDAY (CHEST)

• Dumbbell Chest Press (3 or 4 sets of 10-12 reps)
  
• Incline Dumbbell Press (3 or 4 sets of 8-10 reps)

TUESDAY (BACK)
