1 triceps exercise 1biceps exercise. Best is you have a look at the link to the bodybuilding forum (site before), there you can learn about exercises, but for a beginner is right what i say in front.

Fecupe, Watch the Bass is saying to just do 1 exercise each for bi's and tri's, since you are fairly new to training. As for order, you can do it any way you want. I would say do combined sets. Ex: Barbell curls x10-12 immediately followed by tricep extensions x10-12. Rest 60-90 seconds and repeat. Do it 4 times.

Once you get more advanced, you can do 3 such combos in one workout.

Heavy: barbell curls and skull crushers 3x8

Moderate: seated dumbbell curls and overhead dumbell tricep extesions 3x10-12

Light: machine curls and tricep pressdowns 3x15-20

What about doing a rep of lets say a bicep workout, then wait 60 secs then another rep and so on until finished, then do a tricep workout and repeat. Just curious since I've seen different ways but I do what I described. Or should you try and do all the bicep exercises then move to triceps? Not sure if it even matters really.

The main thing is to change it up every 8 weeks or so. Do it one way for a couple months, then change it.

Alright, I remember awhile ago I read about always switching it up so your body doesn't really adjust to it, if that makes sense. But I was able to sit down today and typed up a workout routine to try this week so we'll see how I like it over the next few weeks. My main concern at the moment is my chest area since it seems that over time it seems my arms are a little bigger but hopefully it'll balance out.

goddamn orion that would scare the shit out of me. whenever I stop lifting for a week or 2, (and in this case 4 ) and start up again, I get these weird spider lines on my shoulders and chest....my best guess is blood vessels bursting...but I never really found out. Ill probably get them tomorrow since I just joined planet fitness (I hate populated gyms but I don't have much of a choice).
