Understanding split routines

[RtiMothy35]

Can you share some tips when it comes to setting up a split routine. Is it okay to work both sides of a muscle. Example can I work a bicep and tricep in the same workout as an arm split or is it best to separate them on different days. I'm looking for the most efficient workouts I can only lift 4 times a week

some people do work both sides of the arms on their split days

some people will work biceps and back and split away triceps on chest day

pro bodybuilders that mobster and I have done podcasts on have typically stuck to 4-5 days splits

Biceps and Triceps are two muscles. Not two sides of one muscle.
