Chest after Triceps?
Can I work my chest the day after I do triceps? I know they would be sore and bench does work the tricep as well as the chest, but I would rest them for the rest of the week.
So, will working my tricep again through bench the day after hurt my gains much?

I usually do chest and tri's together.

IMO doing chest after a tricep, or even shoulder workout isn't a good idea. You will not be able to hit you chest will full capacity b/c you triceps are still fried from the day before. The best idea IMO is to hit the triceps at the end of a chest or shoulder workout that way you will not have to use them directy for the next week. If you dont like doing that just make sure you space your tricep and chest days far enough apart.

Well here's my problem. I want to work biceps twice a week as they are naturally small. I work out mon-fri with both weekend days off. Any ideas for how to plan this? I can't figure out anything that looks good.

If you do biceps on a different day than back, then you will be hitting bi's twice a week. It seems to me that you don't realize that your working certain muscles when doing bigger body parts.

I have done chest and tris 3 different ways.
I have done chest and bis 1st day and 2 days after tri's and back. worked well for me. but still fatigued from 2 days before.
I have done tricep before chest . my bench suffered badly. did that only 1 week.
Now i do Chest and tris. all chest exercises 1st. seems to be working very well. My bench is up to 315 4times from 205 4 times in under 4 months. i only do that 1 day a week with 6 days to recover.
hope this helps.

I also hit tri's hard after chest. Using CG bench, DB overhead extensions and rope pushdowns.
