Benefits of Training Back and Biceps Together
Training back and biceps in the same workout offers several benefits.
It’s efficient. Your back and biceps consist of muscles you use to pull things: moving a heavy box in your garage or doing pull-ups and rows in the gym. When you train your back, you work your biceps simultaneously. It only makes sense to combine the two into one workout.
It allows for maximum recovery. If you split your back and biceps into several workouts, you might run into recovery issues depending on how you schedule your workout week. If you train your bicep muscles a day or two after your back workout, then your back again a few days later, your biceps will see a lot of action for such a small muscle. Also, a biceps session the day before training back could create a weak link for the much bigger and stronger back muscles if your arms haven’t recovered enough. Training back and biceps together solves any potential issues, and you don’t have to worry about recovery between workouts.
It’s not wrong to train your back and biceps with other muscle groups. A separate biceps day might not be ideal, but many combine them with chest or triceps. However, the back+biceps combo is proven and effective.
One of the most popular bodybuilding splits is the Push/Pull/Legs (PPL) split, in which your train the back and biceps on the second day.
