i'm not exactly sure but shouldn't you be doing back and biceps and then tri's and chest? also lower pull then lower push?

It doesn't matter.
What's most important is you do your compound movements first then accessorize with isolation stuff.
Makes no difference regarding age either. I'm 51 and do bi's & tri's same day but only after knocking out whatever compound movement I'm scheduled to do that day.

Rahaas hit it on the head - put the arm work, and indeed any isolation, wherever you like. Just don't make it a priority. It's honestly fairly unimportant.

I do my arm work on leg days. Hell, tuck sets of bicep curls between sets of squats if you like. Or just do chins in the cage.

**Gazhole** · 10-03-2009, 03:46 PM

I love chins using the crossbar in the cage. The grip makes them really tough.

Try throwing a towel over the bar sometime and gripping the ends. THOSE are MURDER!

Good stuff! Grip work while doing chins. Awesome suggestion thanks.

**Built** · 10-03-2009, 04:11 PM

You thank me now but you'll hate me when you try them. I can only do a few before my grip gives out.

**Gazhole** · 10-03-2009, 04:18 PM

Yeah, towel pullups are great. A single arm towel pullup would just be the epitome of bodyweight awesomeness.

I hit 9 once. But I cheated. I used a guitar strap which murdered my hands in exchange for no grip loss

Nice conclusion, but you should vary your routines from time to time.

What is the best lower back and stomach exercise for someone with back problems?

You should exercise your lumbar zone and tarin your abdominals with crunch
movement.

The "push and pull" workout. Much like chest and back. Many theorys on this working and many on why it doesn't. Personally, I think it is a good way to mix things up.

You can push-pull supersets, bi and tri, in no time. After that you can finish with a forearm supersets.

When I do this it's at the end of two upper days(push and pull) then a day off and then legs. Never isolate the arms without days off before upper compound days, IMHO.
