some people do chest/bis and back/tris. that way you get the most out of that muscle rather than exhaust the secondary muscle.

Yeah. You get a tri workout on most chest exercises. Imo, thats too many exercises. Stick with 2-3 per bodypart. Thats 8-12 sets which is plenty. Cant do legs cause of injury?

oh i didnt even notice the leg part. alot of guys are more consernd with their upper bodies rather than the whole package.

yea i had surgery on my left knee last may and the surgeon that did it messed up bad and i have to through months of physical therapy because of that. I asked if i could do a leg workout and she said only what she has me do when im with her. i hope that helps clarify im not trying to skip out on legs.. also is there anything i can substitute for some of the exercises because i feel like my body is just use to them by now
