train large muscle groups first.

Always do the larger muscle first.

The bi`s will be tired, but they`ll be warmed up and you`ll only need around 6 sets to finish them off.

good question ,, now i train back first, but i used to rotate back first one week and then the next biceps first

Back then Biceps. If you want to hit those arms a little harder, or harder (mentally) you can change your split and put arms on some day by themselves. You will appear to be stronger on the arms then, and be able to hit them with heavier weights. Truth is, they're just not exhausted from a back workout. I go back and forth with this type to mix it up. Other than that, "Ditto" on what everyone else has said.

Unless you're using "priority training", in that case you would do your biceps before back.

dude i think its bad to do biceps on back day cause when you do back you work out your biceps a lot and you might over train. i kept hitting biceps and back on the same day really hard till my right arm began to shake uncontrolingly. so the best is to do chest-biceps back-triceps works good for me.

I believe that in the workout split I gave you, you were to work biceps either with chest or delts...

I agree work the larger muscle first.

rks1969 · 03-18-2002, 08:59 AM

Like legs,train back alone.It's such a large muscle group that I would think if you do it right,you'll be to tired to do justice to another bodypart.

try this split---mon: chest&triceps
tue: back
wed: rest or cardio
thu: shoulders,biceps
fri: legs,calves
sat: rest or cardio
sun: rest,cardio or start cycle over
