Does working out your biceps and triceps on the same day injure your arm muscles?

Nope, not at all. In fact, I'd be willing to bet that the vast majority of regular weightlifters routinely work on both of those muscles in the same day, as it's common practice to do whole body parts/muscle groups (upper body, lower body, arms and chest, back and legs, etc.) in a single workout.

When you train opposing muscles, such as the biceps and triceps, it is good to alternate the exercises. When training biceps, your triceps relax, and when training triceps, your biceps relax. This will benefit the exercise and recovery.

No not at all. This type of movement is known as Agonist and Antagonist. Agonist being the muscle that is directly responsible for the movement at a joint. And Antagonist has the opposite action as that movement. Working opposing muscle groups benifits for thickness.I like to do supper sets which are two exercises for opposing muscle groups with little to no rest between. Example: hammer curls, tri push downs. However it is always better to change your routine regulary so your body doesn't get use to one certain way in which it is worked.I also change it up to work chest and tris, and on another day work back and bis. Or even working shoulders traps and bis. Just work with it, everyone is different, no one work out is the right way, you have to find out what is most effective for you. Work hard, get plenty of rest! God bless

I swsitch about every three to four months from chest and triceps and back and biceps to both biceps and triceps on one day of the week. Right now I work both on Mondays, and do chest and back on Thursdays, which seems to be a great way for me.
