I'm currently following one of wolfs weekly routine which is perfect for me and i love it but i have one problem.. first here is the routine

MON - Chest/shoulders
   warmup with 2 sets of pushups
   flat BB bench press - 3x5-8
   incline DB bench press - 3x8-12
   weighted dips - 2x5-8
   (incline) DB flys - 2x8-12
   military press - 3x5-8
   lateral raises - 3x8-12

TUE - Back
   deadlifts - warm up with 2-4 sets, then 3x5
   bent-over BB rows - 4x5-8
   weighted pullups - 4x8-12
   reverse flys - 3x8-12

WED - Cardio & abs

THU - Legs
   (front) squats - warmup with 2-4 sets, then 3x5-20
   walking lunges - 3x8-12
   leg extensions - 3x8-12
   unilateral leg curls - 3x5-8
   SLDL - 3x8-12
   standing calf raises - 4x8-12
   seated calf raises - 2x12-25

FRI - Arms
   weighted dips - 3x8-12
   close-grip bench press - 3x5-8

   incline hammer curls - 3x8-12

For some reason after the Chest day on Monday my Lats are really sore the next day maybe this is due to the push ups. But obviously the Tuesday Back day is alot harder with already sore lats... any suggestions?

Google serratus anterior, then go on to re-test where the soreness is. That's usually it.

You're really just going to have to make due till you get acclimated.

    I've found this to be very common and used to effect me aswell. It's hard for most people to feel that the serratus anterior and lats are seperate, and it's actually those muscles acheing.

    Within a few weeks you should get used to it, if not, then consider moving Back day to thursday, Leg day on tuesday, and doing biceps on back day. It's not ideal, as you then have triceps by themselves.. but I'm pretty sure you'll adapt soon enough and having ache in that area will no longer be a problem.

    Just google "muscle chart" or "muscle graph" or something like that, some are incredibly detailed, there are many, many muscles many people who train for decades will not even know exist!  Smiley
