Bicep/Tricep Workout


Many bodybuilders prefer to train their biceps and triceps on the same day so we thought it would be useful to have a bicep/tricep workout here on eTricep.com. This bicep tricep workout is a 1 day a week routine. You should wait at least 2 days after the bicep tricep workout before hitting your chest or back - you need to give your triceps and biceps time to recover.
