I know when u do deadlifts there is no elbow flexion so the biceps arnt bein used directly but u can see them strain like a mother fuka.. if there stil tryin to recover from the night before am i doin more damage to them???? any advice would be awsm guys

I usually do a 4 day split and have deadlifts on a back day and romanian deadlifts on a leg, but thats changing soon after a recent thread we had on here about deadlifts on a back day.
However, my point is and i do have one dont worry. I am best man at my mates wedding on saturday so had to turn my 4 day split into a 3 day one and because of other shift obligations and over time i had to do the 3 days in a row and leg day after back and bicep day. So i did back and bi's thursday (including deadlift and chin ups) then leg day friday including romanian deadlifts and i noticed on the friday i had to reduce my romanian deadlift weight as my forearms where still obvioulsy hurting even though i couldnt feel it my grip had totally gone. Need at least a day or so in between these excersises, hope that helps, i know its slightly different.

P.s. just noticed your australian ............unlucky in the 20:20 final lol

Yea i felt my grip was weak when i deadlifted but im more concerned that my biceps already torn from the night before are getin over used... i can deal with the lack of grip n just power thro that. N i usaly do my deadlifts with my back, but iv droped my leg work out on saatdys for a few weeks cuz i wana give this big compound training one day a week a crack.

Yeah sounds like too much for your arms, only small muscles after all. Have to see what posts you get because there are plenty of people on this website better then me who can advise you which way to go but you need to post your entire weeks workout for them to help you and let you know how to spread it out through the week to avoid over training or injury.

My favorite question: How many calories are you eating and how many grams of protein, carbs, and fats are you averaging daily?

Last time i worked it out cpl wks back it was 2,632 calories, but iv upd it and its probly closer to 3000 calories, bout 220 grams protein a day and 292 carbs and 73.3 grams fat a day
