No I mean it should be the other way round. After you do chest work out you should do triceps instead of biceps and same goes with back/biceps.

I have to confess that eating properly is the worst part of working out.

Even to this day I don't have a proper hyper caloric diet. I just eat a lot.

Yes. There's nothing wrong with protein shakes though, they just help you hit your protein goal for the day. If you can get that protein elsewhere, you'll get the same results.

Yeah, they're totally fine. I just really hate their taste. I have a friend who's into that and he's suggested many ways to make them a little tastier, but I just can't do it. I'm a big baby about it

But thanks for the response!

I know what you mean but chocolate protein powder + a table spoon of peanut butter blended into it is actually delicious plus the peanut butter has decent protein and is a good fat as well. My brother drinks his protein shakes with water instead of milk, I tried it once and almost threw up

They say it's better to drink it with water though.

Yeah I know, but both ways are correct.

So what is the best way to train

Taking this into consideration we have two ways to train:

Chest/biceps and back/triceps for example: beginners split;
Chest/triceps or Shoulders/triceps and back/biceps i.e. push/pull/legs workout.

In the first example muscles trained aren’t related (don’t work together simultaneously), in the second option they are. Of course there are many more variations of training however these are two most common ways of combining small and large muscle groups.

In my opinion there’s no best way to train. Both forms are correct. However every individual will find one way better than the other that’s why you have to experiment and see what causes grater growth for yourself.

I prefer to do chest with biceps and back with triceps. Smaller muscles aren’t fatigued after heavy compound exercises and I can give 100% to train them however when I cut, I change my routine into chest/shoulder/triceps and back/biceps. It helps me to lower the volume a bit while still train very intense and short during calorie deficit. Besides it makes whole process more interesting and shocks my muscles what helps me to avoid stagnation.
