How do you not overtrain your biceps?
It seems like every exercise, weither nautilus or free weight or whatever, all seem to additionally target your arms. I understand my arms grow when at rest instead of at work, but I go to the gym about 4 days a week and have only been working out for a few weeks now and 90% of my exercises involve my arms. What do you do to avoid over using your arms? Sadly my biceps are small and they were my primary focus to begin with. But at the same time I don't want to have to give up working my other muscle groups as well.

You dont do the good exercise, your program isnt good or well planified, because not every exercise work the biceps, not at all.
Every press exercise, yes you work triceps for example, and for back you work bi's, but imo if you keep arms volume low, you'll not overtrain. |

I'm 18 about 6 ft and weigh 155. I probably have an incredibly low body-fat percentage.
And even if I did less when working out my biceps, wouldn't I still be over-training when I worked them the other days? |
