Firstly, warm up sets. At the moment I'll typically do 1 set 50%, 1 set 75% 2 sets 100%. I'll do this for each exercise. Im just wondering if this is correct to do if working more than one exercise on the same muscle. For example, while it makes sense to warm up each time if doing say shoulder press and then bent over rear row as while both shoulder, are different parts. But when doing say bicep, would you warm up your first set, say hammer curls and again if you done say concentration curls? - shadow summed it up with his comment!

Secondly, Ive being doing a 3 day split, one day being back and biceps. I've noticed that by the time I get around to doing my bicep, they are already fairly tired from doing my back. Would people usually just live with this, or sometimes do bicep first and then back? Or as Im changing would you now perhaps swap the day I do bicep and perhaps do them with chest and tri's with back? - 3 day split... i would leave arms i.e bi's and tri's out just concentrate on the larger muscle groups because you will work arms without directly training them!

if your bi's are battered by just doing back then you could over train your arms.. and that you dont want!

chest & shoulders will hit your tri's and back will hit your bi's!

Cheers,
