Are chest and triceps good to workout together?
Chest and triceps are two separate muscles that you can work in the same session, without one impeding the development of the other. So, should you train your chest and triceps together? Yes, you can train your chest and triceps together. They’re ‘pushing’ movements so it’s ideal to pair them in a workout.

Can I do chest bicep and tricep on same day?
Yes, chest and biceps can be trained together in a single workout safely and effectively. While many will train their full upper body or have days dedicated to just chest or biceps, combining chest and biceps on the same day can help you maximize training efficiency. It also allows you to follow many push-pull splits.
Should you hit chest or triceps first?
Also, simply arrange your workout in a way that those other pushing muscles are completed after your chest session, never before. So it’s “chest and shoulders,” not “shoulders and chest.” And if you train triceps on the same day you work chest, it’s always chest, then triceps.
