Hey i was wondering should i train my biceps and legs on the same day? for example bicep curls and then squats, lunges. I was reading that training the legs make the arms bigger.

I train legs and biceps on the same day.
Don't do biceps before legs though, that's just silly.
Training legs does release more testosterone overall, but that doesn't mean doing legs on the same day as biceps or triceps will give you jacked arms...It just means your body has a slightly higher level of testosterone which may or may not make any noticeable difference =/ I just do legs/bi's for convenience.

@ hearing squats makes your arms bigger.
It's been said that because squats increase testosterone, which make YOUR WHOLE body bigger. You wouldn't get some extra bonus for squatting and curling the same day just as you wouldn't get an extra bonus from squatting and rowing the same day.
It's still a good split, on the other hand, because they're two 100% unrelated muscle groups so you won't be screwing one out of results.

To me it's to much.
Doing back 2 days after biceps isn't great, and then biceps again 2 days after. If you are working your back properly, it will do WONDERS for your biceps so really I'd ditch one bicep workout and seperate the other from your back workout. The same thing applies to triceps. I occasionally do a second workout for triceps.
If you want to work any muscle groups twice a week I'd really recommend the bigger groups rather than smaller. Legs twice a week is ok, back and chest as well. Less so tri's/bi's.

Like I said, working your back well is effectively a second bicep workout. And similar but slightly less so for chest and triceps.
If you want to do bi's/tri's on friday then a 4 day split would probably work the best:
Mon: Legs
Tuesday: Back
Thursday: Chest/Shoulders
Friday: Bi's/Tri's
If you were going to do a 3 day split it would probably be best to do something like:
Mon: Back/bi's
Wed: Chest/tri's
Friday: Legs/shoulders
You can switch legs to monday and back/bi's to Friday if you want.

What I'm getting out of this and the whole squat/testosterone thing ... Although I'm sure it won't make a HUGE difference, if I'm doing Madcows which means I've got bench, squat, and cleans or rows today ... Should I do squats first, prior to the bench, to get that testosterone generated before I bench? Or will it not make a lick of difference?

just do your own thing ok, in my wrkout routine i do arms with legs at the end of the week. considering ive already done chest shoulders, and back, now i can do arms and legs. in reality just because your testosterone boost during a leg workout does not mean working a secondary muscle during the leg workout will make it bigger. but it is said that doing squats and high intense leg workouts can help build the upper body as well due to the high testosterone levels. but there is no evidence
