haha no! always do back with biceps and chest with triceps.. its not just more efficient, its a tachnicallity, you cant do one without doing the other (i had i funny little note to add onto that about twins alcohol and frat parties.. but nothing i need to get banned for)

It hits them 2 different days and leaves you with enough energy to hit them. Doing them back/bi and chest/tri tires some people out and they are not able to efficently work the smaller muscles. Im more of a fan of full body routines but i think you got a nice split routine there.
