    biceps do not get used much in chest, only as a dynamic stabilzer...you can surely work them the day after chest...

    In general, biceps are used in pulling movements (Rows, pullups, etc.) while triceps are used in pushing movements (Pressing, dips, etc.). I do chest and biceps on the same day currently. I really like it thus far.
    The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...

    Same here, except I do shoulders on back or chest day. Leg day wears me out and I gotta take a nap.

    Leg day is twice a week.

    Squats: 4 sets
    Extensions: 4 sets
    Curls: 4 sets
    Presses: 4 sets
    Calves: 4 sets

    Afterwards I slam a whey shake and crash on the livingroom floor for about an hour. Then I wake up and eat a mixture of tuna, cottage cheese, egg whites, and chopped onion.

    Figures, the day I write this, I get messed up. Today, I was only able to do legs due to overcrowding at the gym. I was pissed. But, its a blessing in disguise, because like you said, im worn out. Hit em hard today.

    Dude if you ARE serious, you gotta spend some time lookin around before you ask that.

    Obviously you have the time to spend in the gym. Work each muscle group once a week. You say you go 4 nights. How about chest/bis on Monday. Back/Tris on tues. Wed off. Legs thursday. Delts, forearms, and abs on friday?

    Split it up. Read around the boards, youll learn some stuff.

    swap legs with shoulders, then you got a push / pull split which might work for you
