    Give arms own day?

    What's everyone's idea on giving arms their own day or linking bis/tris with a larger muscle group.
    If so what do use link them with?

    most people would link chest/tri's and back/bi's. you can give them there own day if you want, ive done that in the past and its worked out ok i guess...

    Yeah I usually do that now.

    I see a few people linking delts/tris
    Chest/bis
    Can u shine any light on this? Or maybe just personal preference?

    when you work your chest, your tris are working at the same time.
    when you work your back, your bis are working at the same time, eg: chin ups (good for working back and bis)

    the guys that i see working chest/bis at my gym, usually that is the only body parts they work out, ED, lol, most of them are teenagers that just want bigger chest and bigger biceps lol. (dont do that).

    I find that after putting all my effort into back or chest, that I just can't then put 100% into biceps or triceps.

    What I now do, is after finishing back/Chest I do 1 exercise for bicep/tricep. I make it a heavy low rep exercise. Then the following week I do an arms day. So I only train 'arms' every other week. But the week they aren't getting trained I just do either heavy close grip or heavy pushdowns, for 3 sets 6-8 reps.

    Good way to go about it, it can be tricky to mix stuff in with arm days, better to just go all out, if you get bored you can mix back with tri's and put bi's on say a shoulder day see how it works for you, whatever your body responds best to.

    I have found that if I link chest/tris back/bis I don't give them 100%.
    Gonna try giving them their own day. Thanks for all the help guys!

    Right now I'm currently doing bi/tri on their own day. It works for me..I am getting close to changing it up though.
