workout order
In my routine, I work arms the day after back. Is this bad? Do my bis need rest time after I work back? Same goes for tris; is it bad to work tris one day and chest the next or vice versa?
Anybody have direct experience in the from of personal results regarding the above questions? Thanks in advance guys.

When you do a back day you do affect your arms..I do Back on Wedn. take Thurs. off and Hit arms on Fri. it works for me...when I do back I try to pull with my elbows not my bi's...

This will give u any ex. of what I'm saying:
Last few months: Just started this:
Mon. - chest/calves chest/calves
Tues. - Back/traps back/traps
Wed. - Delts/calves Quads/hams
Thurs. - Quads/Hams Delts/calves
Fri. - Bis/tris/forearms Bis/tris/forarms
See in my last few months I have had seperation of @ 48hrs. between chest,delts,and tris......this worked very well for me, but I needed alittle change to keep thinks fresh and not get bored...so I have moved to the one on the left for now.

Damn it didn't separate the workout like I wanted..........
Old routine:
M - chest/calves
T - back/traps
W - Delts/calves
Th - Quads/Hams
F - Bis/Tris/Forearms
New routine:
M - Chest/calves
T - Back/Traps
W - Quads/Hams
Th - Delts/calves
F - Bis/Tris/Forearms
That looks better...sorry if the other confused anybody.

I make sure to isolate even on compound movements. As in... I never do a Bent Barbell Row with Palms up because it recruits too much from the biceps. Plus, perfect form plays a big role here too.
The indirect/supporting work from compound movements would keep the muscle group stimulated to avoid detraining.. since you work the body as a whole... a properly set up split would keep all bodyparts worked in a supporting role every 2-3 days. Not fully trained but merely recruited... since a day devoted to blasting that bodypart can take much more time depending on the loads the trainee uses, the muscle group size and it's recovery ability... as well as the trainee's ability to recover mentally. You should fully train a muscle group usually every 4-7 days (depending on those variables) but have it used at least in a supporting role every 2-3. Ya dig?
Personally I would sooner do Chest on a day before Triceps and not vice versa... since Chest requires a heavier load I don't want sore triceps to interfere. And the indirect/supporting work from the Triceps during the Chest workout wouldn't cause enough trauma to keep from pounding Triceps the next day...
I probably got ya all confused in my answer to your thread - but I often think about this. It usually determines how I set up rest days...
