    Biceps sore after back workout

    My biceps are sore the next day after I do my back routine. There really tight the next day when I flex them, like I worked them really good. But they are never sore after I do my bicep routine. I never get a good pump or burn in my bicep routine. I find it kind of odd that my biceps are sore after my back workout but not my actual bicep workout. These workouts are two days apart. Anyone else know what I'm talking about?

    Back workout...
    weighted chin ups- 4 sets 6-12 reps
    Lat pull downs- 4 sets 6-12 reps
    weighted reverse grip chin ups- 4 sets
    reverse pull downs- 4 sets 6-12 reps
    cable rows or T-Bar rows- 4 sets

    Bicep workout
    EZ bars curls- 3 sets 6-12 reps
    seated dumbell curls- 3 sets 6-12 reps
    DB preacher curls- 3 sets 10-15 reps
    cable curls- 3 sets 10-15 reps

    It's all the chinups and reverse pulldowns. You're probably getting that extra stretch in during these movements.
    Bodybuilding is 60% training and 50% diet. Yes that adds up to 110%, because that's what you should be giving it. Change the inside, and the physique will follow.

    Pull with your elbows, not just with your biceps. For example, while doing pull ups, visualize an imaginary line from your elbows towards your torso. It's only natural your biceps would still experience a degree of soreness as they are used in pulling movements but this visualization would help to reduce bicep involvement and utilize more back.

    16 sets of vertical pulling and only 4 sets of rows?

    ok...

    Do you feel these exercises in your back or just biceps?

    Try using an overhand grip and concentrate on feel
    Who was this love of yours?

    indeed...i think you should do 2 overhead pulls and 2 row-type pulls, for 4-5 work sets each. maybe try adding a curl day between back days to try and get your bi strength ahead of back, or stretch your bis after a workout so the pulldowns dont stretch them as much
