I also prefer to switch biceps and triceps to
chest / biceps instead of triceps
back / triceps instead of biceps
since you're already working your triceps while working your chest.....you'll be better off putting the triceps on a different day.
but people have been doing chest/triceps for years so its not all that bad.

Damnit does this mean that I should switch my workouts?
I do:
Abs/Obliques
Shoulders/Back
Biceps/Triceps
Chest
Legs
Is it bad to do biceps, triceps in same day?

If you wanna look big do something called supersets. Do muscles that are "opposite" each other.
Ex: Bi/Tri
Chest/back
etc

right now im doing rippetoes programs.
workout A- squat, deadlift, bench press, weighted dips
workout B- squat, bent over row, standing military press, weighted pull-ups
all are done for 3 sets with 5 reps per set
workout mon, wed, fri doing an A B A workout for a week then B A B workout the next and you keep alternating.
on fridays i do 3 sets of bicep curls and 3 sets of tricep pulldown
it really concentrates on adding weight to each workout every week.
it looks rather intense, and it is, but i have made the most gains in the last year since ive been working out (6 years).

How long do you guys lift weights for?
Usually I lift for 40 mins to 1 hour.
I've read that once you go over 1 hour of weights it becomes counter productive to the body.
I see dudes in the gym lift for 1.5 hours+, I dont know where they get the energy.
The more experienced guys usually lift really heavy for about 45 mins then go home.

Yeah after an hour your body release a hormone that actually eats up muscle which is why its counter productive.

This is what I do and I feel it is optimal if you wanna get stronger.
Back
Legs / Abs
Shoulders / Biceps
Chest / Triceps
Hit the core exercises (squats, deadlifts, benchpress, military press and even dips) hard. I do multiple sets on those exercises. If I train legs for 45-50minutes I'm squatting at least 30 minutes. Same thing with deadlifts. I'm not really that extreme on bench press and shoulder/military press yet butI'm gonna start.
Btw. if you wanna get more explosive and jump higher. do 4-6 max jumps between all sets. I've gained 4 inch in like a month just by doing that.
