Ok guys since i have a home gym it is really easy for me to lift any time(since it is summer break). Well i found out that lots of pro got big by lifting twice a day.
Today is back and bicep day. DO you think it's a good idea to do biceps in the morning and back around night time?

If both sessions are extremely short and don't go to failure, give it a shot if you want. Far from ideal from many points of view (metabolically), but if it works for you, it works from you.
On top of my game, and it don't stop til my hip don't hop anymore.

first of all biceps before back is a bad idea...that one should be obious. In any case, i currently am doing 2 sessions a day. I am doing it along the same lines as what you are suggesting. Rather than going to the gym to hit my back, biceps, and forearms I go in the morning for back and afternoon to finish up. It's been working well. I have much greater strength and concentration for the smaller muscle groups than usual. As long as you have time for it, i'd recomend going with it. Peace
REPS ARE ALWAYS GOOD

I recommend that you split into two workouts with caution. Make sure that if you're following a split, that you indivdualize your workouts, so that one body part is worked per session. At the beginning of the year I did two workouts a day, but burned myself out quickly. The reason for that was that my body was burning more calories because of the increase in actvity, and I didn't compensate with food. So excerise caution in this case, and dont cause yourself to get burnt out, and create an injury situation. And follow the advice of the above posts...back before biceps.

Yes, doing this would have to be careful too to avoid overtraining. If you tried to do 2 normal workouts you would (obviously) burn yourself out...
I would really only do this if you plateau, seems like it would be pretty time exhuasting too (i.e. warm up, stretch, lift, go home, eat, repeat) your day would revolve around lifting, and solely lifting.

Def, go for it dude!
I like doing powerful movements in the morning and then isolation in the evening. For exmaple tomorrow, I'll do heavy bench and chest in the morning and biceps in the evening.

Yeah man its ok just dont overtrain. If you split your back and bis up thats fine. But dont do like chest and tris and then go work delts at full intensity. Just make sure your not overtraining. Keep in mind that when most of the pros do really really high intensity split workouts there on gear and its alot harder to overtrain on gear.
5'11",190 lbs, 13%+ BF, 16" arms,250 bench, 370 squat, 350 deadlift, 4.9 -40 yard dash, 4.1- pro agility. Yeah im fat but i cant afford to cut because of football.

Chest/Bi is MUCH MUCH better than back bi. You don't need to be working the same group in the same day.
Pain is weakness leaving the body.
Obsessed is a word used by the lazy to describe the dedicated!
If you like it, rep it.
