Oh then I understood you correctly, you are doing body parts split, therefore my point stands. You should do triceps on the same day you do chest (together with front delts), because both groups of muscles are required to perform pushing. Likewise for biceps & back (and rear delts), they are needed to pull. Doing what you are doing now, it might mean that your arms are being put on extra work by having to work on arm as well as back & chest day. That also mean that they might hamper your ability to train heavier/longer on the back & chest days. You are also short changing your back & chest muscles as you could not train them as frequently as you could if you adopt push/pull split. You can refer to my workout journal in my siggy if you don't mind, I use push/pull split.
That's quite a long workout, I fear you may not be able to keep it up in the long term, and consistency is the key to this game. But if you insist on doing that for now, maybe re-assess things should you find yourself getting tired despite having enough rest. I think recovery for 'young' people works differently.
Yeah
I used to do Push/Pull type of plans.
However, the concentrations of the triceps/biceps is limiting the size growth. For me anyway. I have high peaks of the biceps, but not size.
Maybe I am working the short muscles too much. But combining biceps and triceps on the same day has enable better size growth overall for me.
Yes, you are right. Its extra day for arms. But I am nit increasing heavier weights at this stage of my career. Just maintaining and changing ways of doing it. Just for maintenance for a 57 year olde body!
Maybe good to revisit the Push/Pull regime for efficient workout.
