    Training biceps and triceps twice a week?

    My current routine:

    Monday: Chest and triceps
    Tuesday: Back and biceps
    Wednesday: Shoulders and abs
    Thursday: Legs
    Friday: Biceps and triceps again?
    Saturday: Rest day
    Sunday: Rest day

    Would it be beneficial if I used Friday as a focus day which would switch around every month or so? So the main question at the moment is would it be alright to train biceps and triceps twice a week?

    Thanks

    You can if you want, your arms should be recovered by then.
    Personally I'd rather have it as a full body power day, Bench, Deadlift, Power Cleans (instead of squats because you are doing legs the day before) and military press.
    Just look at it as your fun day, and train whatever part of your body you want as long as its recovered from last time, which your bis and tris would be.
    Realize though, that all of the exercises I just mentioned are going to hit your Bis and Tris enough while still strengthening your core and the rest of your body.
    Started 9/13 @ 155lbs and 20% bf


    Now: 12/14 @ 180 11-12%bf
    Bench: 195
    Deadlift: 350
    Squat: 285

    Think of it like this. Working a muscle once a week offers you 52 opportunities for it to grow in a year. Working it twice a week offers you 104 opportunities in a year.

    Why only biceps and triceps 2x a week? Why not all body parts? A p/p/l routine will benefit you more.

    If you're training for hypertrophy reasons and you feel they're lagging behind your other body parts, go ahead

    You might as well do all body parts twice. My routine is
    Monday chest and tris (heavy on chest light tris)
    Tueseday back and bis (heavy back light bis)
    Wednesday legs (heavy)
    Thursday chest and tris (heavy tris light chest)
    Friday back and bi (heavy bis light back)
    Saturday legs(light)
    Sunday rest
    Its worked great for me
