do you work triceps with biceps OR chest?

[stevesmi]

I was taught you work triceps on chest days because they are both pushing exercises.

but i was watching a program on tv and the bodybuilder was working their triceps and biceps on the same day

was curious what you do?

Chest/bis - fratboy day haha

Shoulders/tris

This is how I currently split them up.

 

[ramnares]

Always chest/tris...no point changing something that's been working great for me.

 

[OMEGA]

Chest with Tris for most

Ligth delts should be on that day too ( in most cases)

 

[SouthernLord]

I really like chest/delts/tris on a three day a week split when time is tight.

My delts and tris were kinda lacking so I prioitized them by training them together at the first of the week.

I can hit delts/tris on Monday the get a good chest workout on Thursday. Since there's a lot of overlap in the three muscle groups I'm getting some extra volume which seems to help.

I've tried various splits, and my best is bi's/tri's/traps on one day, and chest/lats other day. The reason is that in my case, my tri's get worked hard by default on bench presses, so they're already exhausted and don't do as well if I to a tricep workout on the same day. When I do biceps and triceps together, it works fine, since they aren't riding each other for energy. Sometimes I'll do lats on either split, but usually they're on chest day due to wanting it to take about the same amount of time for each split day.

we always do our tris and bis on the same day.

I always do Tris/Chest but have been wondering if Tris/Bis would be better. It would have to be a few days before/after the chest workout otherwise I would think they would be getting overtrained.

chest /tri's weighted dips . enough said !

 

[captainahole]

I mix it up. Chest and tri's for 3 months and then I add a arm day for 3 months then back again.

that is a good idea then the body would not be getting used to the same workout

I heard something like:
Triceps get fatigued by the time you're done with chest and so when you start training triceps you do not get the full workout for them. So this is why some train biceps/triceps because they want to give a full workout for triceps.

But me personally, chest/triceps/shoulders

I have been seeing some good gains going with my current split chest/calves,back/bi's, (1 day rest) legs, shoulders/tris (two days rest)

edited: (added rest days)

 

[ghettostudmuffin]

I haven't done a typical bodybuilder split in awhile, but next time I do it'd likely be:

chest/back-great upper body pump feeling. Also nice doing 1 set of chest then 1 set of back and repeat etc.
Shoulders/traps

REST

Biceps/Triceps
Legs

REST

Repeat

i think that would be perfect then. fatigue them out then zero in on them for a few sets at the end.

i dont get why you wouldn't get the full workout, if anything you would be overtraining them. i do my chest exercises then use the rope on the triceps, and then hit the floor and do pushups, then jump up and use the rope.. back and forth for 5 sets. by the end my triceps are shot.

i'm getting very good results doing this.. my triceps are my best muscle. wish the biceps were that easy to train

 

[skaman007]

all body parts should be mixed about periodically just like reps and exercises.

 

[ghostrider1000]

I work chest and arms together.......works really well.

 

[Youngncurious]

I work my bi's out With legs in my current routine..yeah it's different but hey I get results and works for me

 

[rambleJ535]

Old thread, but I work my Bi's and tri's together. I like to get as much out of my arms as I can. I used to do the whole push/pull method, I have had better gains this way.

 

[burnthiscorpse]

I do push day, pull day, off....

I do Bi's on both days.

 

[rutman]

Always tri's after chest. I see it as tri's are halfway blew out after chest then all I have to do is finish em off.
