so you're working your shoulders 3 out of 4 days (4 out of 4 depending
on the choice of direct arm movements), and your elbows 4 out of 4 days.
I hope you're not using any real intensity...

Cheers,

Ari

I'm going to die rather sooner than I'd like. I tried to protect my
neighbours from crime, and became the victim of it. Complications in
hospital following this resulted in a serious illness. I now need a bone
marrow transplant. Many people around the world are waiting for a marrow
transplant, too. Please volunteer to be a marrow donor:

Legs should be on Monday...they use the greatest amount of energy.
Having the weekend to rest and recup should give you enough energy for
hard workouts on monday. Never do them the day after back...your lower
back needs to be strong for squats.

A good 5-day routine would be:
Day 1 legs
Day 2 chest + triceps
Day 3 back + biceps
Day 4 shoulders + abs
Day 5 rest

You should work legs in a separate day, after the rest day.
Avoid working the same muscle 2 days in a row. For example, almost all
chest exercises stress triceps - don't work triceps on the next day
after the Chest day. That's why most people combine chest and triceps
exercises in one day. The same about back and biceps.

If we're sticking to 5-day cycles I'd prefer something along the lines of:

1: Chest/shoulders/triceps
2: off
3: Legs/abs
4: Back/biceps
5: off

This is what I'm doing myself, but the guy wants to work out 4 days in
a row, as I understand his question.

I don't specifically need 4 days in a row.. just don't want a 5-6 day
workout rountine... a day or two of rest in the work out is fine... so the :

1: Chest/shoulders/triceps
2: off
3: Legs/abs
4: Back/biceps
5: off

as long as i make sure i get a day of rest b4 the legs is what your
stressing..

Thanks for all info...
