Doing Biceps and Tri's on the same Day

I also learned that we shouldn't do arms until all of our other groups are done for that week first. Is all this true or was I lied to in ninth grade. :) Thanks for those that reply, Chris

Look for posts by BigAndrew, he explains the "back to back" concept and I think he works out the same way... Hope this helps

Acording to a magizine, there was a study done, that big compond movments such as squats greatly increase testasteron level in most studies. so in therory you should do a arm excercise or two on big compond lift days, due to the fact of more testesterone levels. just a thought -------------- .......adversity causes some to break, but others to break records! ......minds are not vessles to be filled, but fires to be enlightened ......Confucious once said ,DO NOT play leap frog with a unicorn
