Remember, you are only as strong as your weakest link. Not training shoulders can have some serious consequences, as you use shoulders in most all upper body movements. And back, without a strong back.... -------------- The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary!

You can still work arms twice(triceps), do chest, shoulders and triceps day one, legs and back day 2, , biceps(heavy) and triceps(light) on the third day. Triceps are more of your arm size than anything. Biceps are just a show muscle, and triceps will also enhance your bench, which will give you a bigger bench, thus chest. Shoulders are as important for both, and to give you that bigger wider look. -------------- The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary!
