yes I do this also, because then you are working the bicep only once a week instead of overtraining them.
Thalastdon is dead on !!
He hit the nail on the head. (or the bicept)
I used to train back and biceps on the same day, and it worked well. The only reason I changed it was for variation, and I will definitely work back and biceps together sometime soon.
Who am I to argue with push/pull groupings..tried and true before I came along. However for the next 12 weeks I have switched my bi's to chest and tri's to back.
The ony reason is that I am not seeing the same strength gains in my bi's as I do for all other body parts as my bi's are usually exhausted from my back workout and I cant hit them as hard as I want to. As back day also affects the bi's it's like working my arms two times a week - so happens with the way I have everything spaced out - every four days my bi's and tri's respectively are being worked.
I also want some even strength/proportion between my bi's and tri's, but my tri's are moving way ahead.
The only concern I have with this is that as hard as I'm working my bi's, I am also working my tri's, so in the end this may be counter productive to what I want.
For 12 weeks I'll give it a try and see what the results are.
I've been doing Back\Biceps on same day for 5 months and it works for me.

It also worked very well for me. Just be careful not to be doing too many sets for your biceps now though, since you are increase the amount of volume on your biceps when you train them now.
