    i have never had the same pump from back/bi or chest/tri, than from bi/tri. I just dont feel it and ive tried it a few times. but plenty of people do it, other than that, why only two excercises??

    Looks OK

    Might want to look at dropping an exercise from back...By the time I hit 12-15 sets my back is sufficiently torched (high intensity style)
    I would also suggest adding barbell rows/dumbell rows and deadlifts

    For bi's I've gotten the best results from standing barbell curls, heavy, failing between 6-8 reps.

    I switch from barbell rows each week and normally do deadlifts with legs, and on my bi/tri day I'll be hitting my bi's harder today was the first day I did two body parts a day I was beat

    As I'm sure everyone has suggested, remove biceps from your back routine. Place it 2-3 days after with chest or, if you have the time, with triceps. Being a small muscle it will recover in time and will get hit twice a week. What I like to do is use straps on all back workouts and always use a reverse grip so that I can isolate bi's as much as possible. The back routine looks good. You may want to consider breaking down your back routine even further into thickness/width exercises. I have been experimenting with this for a while now and seeing great results.

    Looks good but about 3 sets too many for back in my opinion. Also I have done well doing just 4 sets of bis post back and 4 of tris post chest and having another "arm"day later in week. Got great gains doing that for around 8 weeks or so. Just mentioning it.

    I use straps also during all my lifts my bi's don't get hit bad during back n I'll have a bi/tri day in 3 days. Yeah I used to do rows one day n pulls a few days later but I don't want to go 6 days a week any more
