    Ok to alternate body part exercises within a routine?

    What I mean is, if for example if I am doing Chest and Bis, is it ok to start with a chest exercise, then move to a bicep exercise and then back to chest, etc?
    Or, is it more beneficial to complete the chest routine first, and then move on to biceps?

    I prefer the former as it less monotonous for me but I fear that I am giving each body part too much rest in between exercises?

    As a reference, I am going for size and am pyramiding down with reps and up with weight as I progress through the exercise (usually, 10, 8, 6, 4-5)

    Thanks for reading.

    Generally, you should work big to small. That is, you should workout your larger muscles and more technical compound lifts first. Personally, I would not do one chest movement then one bicep movement. The biceps are a small muscle that do not need the attention as the chest does.

    Supersets are usually better for antagonist muscle groups IE chest/back, quads/hams, bis/tris.

    If you get bored, I like this split...

    Day 1 - Chest/Back
    Day 2 - Shoulders/Arms
    Day 3 - Legs/Core
