    Either train your biceps on the day you train your back or have a whole other day dedicated for your arms.

    The worst thing you can do is have an " arm" day. Train biceps after back.

    Im always up for new ideas, Care to give us an idea of what your trainning split might be or what ever way you train.

    Also i'll look into those names do you have any articles or anything in particular I should check out?

    Hey, to each his own, but I totally disagree, Ive tried both ways my arms have grown the best training them by themselves.

    I think its fine, I would be more worried about shoulders that close to back, as far as joint health. but your bi's should'nt come so much into play with back that it would spur overtraining.

    Split
    Sun: Chest/Calves/abs/intense interval cardio 22min
    Monday: Back/Hams/med cardio 30min
    Tuesday: Abs/light cardio 45min
    Wed: Squats
    Thursday: Shoulders/calves/med cardio 30min
    Friday: Arms/Abs/Intense interval cardio 22min

    thats my split but interestingly enough the bicep is connected to the shoulder? , hehe but anyway I've heard of a commonly used technique for shoulder injury prevention is to warm up the bicep tendon before any compound chest or shoulder movements so one would deduce that working the bicep with shoulder would probably in some way be synergenic
