I ask this, because doing squats and deadlifts can really bust out the testosterone throughout your entire body and after doing leg workouts I got straight to chest.

So is the far fetched? Have you heard of weightlifters doing this routine?

It works but that's a huge workout. And the testosterone release isn't immediate.

Usually not suggested simply cause most people really care about the weights they lift on chest exercises. And it's not likely that you will have the same amount of energy from whatever muscle group you train after legs. If you trained legs hard.
I could never do a chest workout after a leg workout. If I ever pair legs with anything it's shoulders, and that is only when I dont have a big shoulder workout.

Yeah, i would suggest keeping legs day separate from all other workouts. Since these are the most strenuous lifts (squat, leg press, stiff leg deads) your bench workout will not have the same intensity and vice versa if you start with chest.

What about doing legs and biceps on the same day? I want my schedule to look like this starting tommorrow:

Wed: chest and triceps
Friday:legs and biceps
Saturday:back and shoulders


What do you think? I'll go back to my reguar schedule with the new ones I added starting next week.

Yeah, I concur with everyone else. I used to ride my bike and then lift right after, and do that 3 days a week. But it's really too much, and it was hurting my energy for lifting. So I do lifting one day and cardio the other. It works out to be cardio (bike) three days and lift two. I do chest, bis and tris and some crunches twice a week. My workouts have been too inconsistent the last few months. And I've been binging on fast food too much. I've been on the verge of cutting up for months now, but those bacon double cheeses don't do much for the waistline. It's a bit frustrating, b/c I've laid all the ground work. My abs are tight, and I can see a lot of definition. The tone is fine, but there's that last bit of loose skin and fat that's there. I need to eat right to work the rest of it off this month. Whoops, I'm rambling...and I still haven't left work yet. Time to get out of here. PEACE.

Doesn't it hurt too much to wax both your chest & legs on the same day?

Oh, wait...

Football players, hockey players, gymnasts, power lifters, olypians, sprinters and others work out legs and chest on the same day all the time.
