How often to train bi's

[ThePolishHammer]

Im working on an eight day split, with four rest days and four work days.
I only work my biceps once during the entire week. On back day. Would i be able to train them once every four days?

If you don't mind, go ahead and post your current split routine. Biceps are able to recover pretty fast

i know this is off subject, but are you training for strength? it seems with that rep scheme you are working on strength a whole lot, its good that you have some hypertrophy specific stuff mixed in. just wondering what your goal was with that style of program.

I do an 8 day split and I work Bis directly twice a week and indirectly (on back day) once a week. No probs here.

Here's my split:

Day 1 Legs--squats, SLDL, Calf, Lunges

Day 3 Arms--Saxons, 2 types of curls, tricep pressdowns

Day 5 Back--DLs, Abs, Pullups, Shrugs, Rows

Day 7 Chest & Shoulders --Dips, Side raises, Curls, pec dec, shoulder press

Yeah bis are small muscles so you can work them twice in 8 days no prob. Like calves. Unlike legs.
