Chest and Biceps?

[pauly177]

I usually do chest and bis on the same day, and back and tris the next. But am I giving my biceps enough rest to rebuild?

Honestly, there isn't a clear cut answer on this because every individuals body responds differently. From my personal experience I find that if I hit the muscle more frequently then I get it to respond better by seeing size gains. For the past two weeks I've been doing Chest/Bi/Tri Monday, Back/shoulders/traps on Tuesday, Legs Wednesday, and I start it all over. It's worked wonders for me because I'm seeing the greatest results I've ever seen. So referring to your question concerning rest time, go easy on them since you're using them more frequently. Meaning don't go real heavy but just enough to get a pump. I suggest 3 exercises consisting of 3 sets each. If they are severely sore the next time you have to do them then its time to slow down or switch up the routine. Like I said, everyone responds differently. Listen to your body, no ego tripping.

That's not advisable, though that's probably less of an issue than working triceps the day after chest. Perhaps do a bit more research and restructure your routine to minimize overlap.
