1 Muscle group a day.

[craig942]

What do u lot think of training 1 muscle group a day, 6 days a week, 3 on 1 off 3 on. Is it orite to train biceps one day and triceps another and is 5 exercises overtraining biceps and triceps?
I am training MON-CHEST, TUE-BICEPS, WED-LEGS, THU-OFF, FRI-SHOULDERS, SAT-TRICEPS, SUN-BACK.

i do arms in 1 day.. no need to split them up, they are such small muscles

Agree, do bi's and tri's on the same day and take two days off instead of one. Other than that it looks just fine.

^^agree. but make sure your bi and tri day are far enough apart from your chest and back days and that your shoulder day is far enough apart from your chest/tricep day. Over-training is a tricky issue it usually depends on the person.Do u do rest weeks? are you consistently going up with your weights/reps? are you always increasing in size? if not you may be over-training

I think 5 exercises for bi's and tri's is too much, unless you are cutting and doing low weight with high reps. If you're bulking, I wouldn't do more than 3-4 exercises for each muscle and even 4 is pushing it. Most people do 3 because bi's and tri's arent that big, so it's easy to overtrain them.

another thing i might add that i do.. I do arms at the end of the week so they wont be sore and effect any of my upper body lifts like bench, military, or rows..
