    Question about Back/Biceps

    I know back uses biceps as a secondary muscle.

    So after im done with the back part of my split, my biceps are pretty tired already, and i have to do less weight then i would do if i hadnt done back first.

    Just wondering, is this still working my biceps just as hard as when i do my normal weight? As long as it is still working them well, i dont care if i have to drop the weight.

    Almost always you should be doing compounds before isolation. If you can do biceps on a separate day from back that would be better. If you have to do them on the same day then do back first.
    The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are your own. You do not blame them on your mother, the ecology, or the president. You realize that you control your own destiny.

    yeah i know about compounds before isolations first, im just asking if my bis are getting worked just as hard with lighter weight (which is as hard as with normal weight after i do back) as if i were doing my normal weight.

    I always hit biceps after chest workouts. The biceps are already warm, they're stabilisers in the bench press, so I just whack onto whatever I can handle and get going.

    yea you're definitely hittin them as hard even with lower weight, because they've been used for all the other back exercises as well.
