Triceps and Biceps on the Same Day?

[gregstriker1]

Hey everyone, I've been on another forum but I've decided that this forum seems, well.... better. Anyways, In some workout routines I see that people work both the tricep and bicep on the same day. I thought this was wrong because isn't it true that if you workout 2 muscles from the same part of the body (upper arms), it hinders the amount you get out of it if you just did biceps and triceps on different days. What is the reasoning behind working both on the same day?

That is a myth.

In reality it makes no difference whether you train biceps & triceps together or split them up. It just depends on your split and goals.

not arguing here but there are actually alot of people who believe that training arms together works better

Yeah it's personal preference, I wouldn't tell someone who trains biceps and triceps together to split them up, nor would I advise an arms day over training them seperate. Each to his own.

so overall, you think its ok to work both triceps and biceps on the same day, its just what you prefer

I am one of them.

Once I changed from a back/bi & chest/tri to an all day ARM event... omfg... I fell in love with it. Not only do I have better arm workouts, but I can focus more on back.. or chest.. etc as well. For me (personal preference here..) it was, and remains, awesome.

Course, my arms are freaking small.... but.. that said... I like it!!

like posted above i really dont think it matters when you do them, my own personal experience i divide them up, however sometimes ill superset arms (used 2 have tiny arms)

honestly i think thats a matter of preference to be honest with you. i train bi's and tri's together in a superset manner and that has seemed to work for me just fine. i've tried splitting them up by doing one first and then the other but didnt really like it that way. i prefer the superset fashion where i do a tri and jump right into a bi exercise. so if thats what you like and it works for you, do it man.
