I am thinking of doing these 2 exercises on the same day.
do most of you guys do it like this?
b4 it would be monday chest/back - 3 sets each 10 reps
tuesday triceps/shoulders - 3 sets each 10 reps
wednesdays biceps/forearms - 3 sets each 10 reps
Now I am thinking of doing both exercises on tuesdays.
I would do one in the morning and one in the afternoon so my arms are rested in between.
This way I could squeeze in more exercises and do them twice a week instead of once.
thoughts plz

and also when I do my triceps and biceps I usually do 2 different type of exercises.
So its really 6 sets. Is this overtraining?
Lets say I would do 3 sets skullcrushers then 3 sets tricep cable extension. Yes it does leave me drained.
Thats why I would leave biceps for later on that day.
And which one should I do first Biceps or Triceps.6"0

You can split the muscles any way you want - tris and bis in the same day is fine, for a number of reasons.

actually everyday
I do freestyle sqauts.
about 10 sets with 10 reps
I just use my body wait and sqaut up and down.
Once a week I do real squats and deadlifts.
I will post my workout schedule. That will make things better
I do bi/tri as one day. It works well for me, although I am thinking of dropping arm day altogether for a while and seeing what happens. I hit triceps hard on chest and shoulder day as well as back day for the biceps.A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man.

Said it before and I'll say it again - bi's and tri's on the same day totally stalled my gains and did nothing for gaining armsize. It's horses for courses but personally I'd advise strongly against it. If you see any gains it's most likely to be newbie gains.
For big arms look for big heavy chest and back work topped off by small amounts of isolation work after. Best split I've always found is chest/tri and back/bi as this then leaves a complete weeks rest for each bodypart inbetween.At 16/08/04

Chest 46"
Waist 32" (a little bit under now!)
Arms 17+half"

I've done both arrangements and liked them both - so TRY IT YOURSELVES, KIDS!!!
There are some very good reasons TO do bi and tri together, chest and back. Agonists with antagonists. So try it. We're all just applying what's worked for us, but is there some reason people are afraid to a) take an extra off day to reset the pattern, and b) go to the gym are try something totally new? Just try it.
Less talking, more lifting.

Hell yeah man, you can do them both on the same day. I've been doing that for a year now, triceps and biceps together and alot of people do it...its called "arm day" hehe. You might be doing too little though, 3 sets for biceps and 3 sets for triceps? That is too little.
I do 8 sets for triceps and 8 sets for biceps and after the 4th set I switch the excercise. You want to develop every angle of your muscles and the way you do that is by doing different excercises to stimulate different parts of the muscle, not just one...unless you want an average looking body and not a three dimensional looking one. peace
