Ok people, I see a lot of guys and gals doing this. They train their biceps before their triceps. To me this is backwards and I will explain why.
Think about when you train your legs. What muscle do you start with first? If you answered quads you would be correct. You don't typically start your leg session with hamstrings when training quads and hams on the same day.
Now think of your arms like your legs. Your triceps are the quads and the biceps are the hamstrings. I recommend starting out training your triceps first for many reasons. First of all your triceps are the stronger of the two. So you can lift a little more weight while your fresh in your workout. Second when training triceps first it's going to warm up your joints better. Third you don't need a lot of weight to stimulate the biceps. In my opionion if you start to go to heavy you start to cheat and the form will slip and it will be a sloppy set.
So remember triceps before biceps and it will be a completely different work out with hopefully a pump and growth spurt like you have never seen. Keep training friends!!!
