    Touche with "shouldn't". See follow up sentence. But, at this point we're going to argue semantics and I don't care so I'll just wrap it up.

    It's entirely possible to train back to back without injury and still get stronger. In the case of the OP, not applicable anyway. To answer original question... lifting light weight back to back will not hurt or hinder them.

    Suffice?

    100% agreed.

    Plus she can't take any advice so have at her. I tried and she's going to dig her own grave all by herself.
    U only agreed bcuz u can't handle the heat

    Never said it wasn't imposs, said he shouldn't

    The OP said he was going to do a FULL BODY workout. Unless you are advising that he flat out doesn't work out the next day, it's impossible NOT to work out the same body parts 2 days in a row.

    LOL! I tried to stand up for you in the beginning. I put myself out there a bit in your behalf. He's right and you're wrong in the context of the OP's post. You're just looking like a bitter scolded child grasping at straws here.

    I ASKED you to reply twice to my posts but you just ignored them. Have fun because these two know more than you, are much more experienced than you and aren't afraid to tell you that. See ya, wouldn't want to be ya.

    Biceps and triceps get hit on chest and back days without isolation work. If you are doing compound lifts correctly and bracing your core you'll hit abs. I don't isolate abs, zero need for me to.

    if your tris are feeling neglected after shoulders and chest, youre doing it wrong.

    I think where/how you feel fatigued can be different for some exercises on a machine vs free weights. For example, when I bench press on my machine for 10-12 reps, my arms can't really push the bar anymore once I'm done, but I'm not sure that my triceps are actually getting stimulated by that movement. In contrast, just recently I did a dumbbell bench press with much lighter weight for 35 reps. I didn't have the same fatigue in my arms, but I definitely felt more soreness in my triceps the next day than when I use the machine.
