Should you workout biceps and triceps on the same day?
So, should you do biceps and triceps on the same day? For most people, the answer is yes. If training both muscle groups on the same day is better for your schedule and training goals, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t.

Is it better to train arms separately?

Should I alternate biceps and triceps?
Alternating between biceps and triceps is akin to driving a car forward, then backing up over and over. It doesn’t make sense. The better strategy is to train one specific muscle group with wild abandon, then switch gears and go all-out on the other. But if you do, do all triceps exercises before you start biceps.

Can I do triceps the day after biceps?
There are a lot of muscles in the arms, so it’s okay if you’re working your biceps, followed by triceps the next day, and then your delts the following day. This allows each muscle group time to rest and rebuild, which is necessary if you want to see results.
Should you workout triceps or biceps first?
What about your triceps? If you’re training your biceps alone, then tossing your triceps in at the end of a chest or shoulder workout, you’re treating them as an afterthought and that’s how they’ll respond. And if you’re training bi’s and tri’s together, you probably train biceps first.
