: If I do biceps and triceps on the same day, what will be the routine for other days? I am training back and biceps, chest and triceps, legs and shoulders as my routine. But I don't feel much stronger when I am doing biceps

Below is an example of a 6 day split which I have used in the past to hit every body part twice per week. It is a variation of the Push/Pull/Legs split

Monday: Shoulders + Legs

Tuesday: Chest + Triceps + Abs

Wednesday: Biceps + Back + Traps

Thursday: Shoulders + Legs

Friday: Chest + Triceps + Abs

Saturday: Biceps + Back + Traps

Sunday: Rest

In this split, you train your biceps with your back and your triceps with your chest. The reason for this split is because your biceps are involved in most compound back exercises (Pullups, Rows) and your triceps are involved in most compound chest exercises (Bench Press, Pushups).

I don't think it is a good idea to have 2 dedicated days for just biceps and triceps. For example, If you train your biceps twice a week separately from your back muscles, you may overtrain them, because you will be working them twice with triceps and again on back day. Even if you are not focusing on your biceps, they are involved during many back exercises. If you train your back on Tuesday and train your biceps on Wednesday, you are essentially working your biceps two days in a row. Your muscles recover and grow when they are at rest, not when you are training them

How long have you been doing this?
It takes time and continuity to get stronger, so just keep going.
If you've been doing this for a while now and don't seem to get much progress I'd say switch it up a little. It depends on how often you go aswell.
I for myself try to go to everyday and I plan my week so that I can do biceps and triceps twice a week.

I want to change the routine so that I can do them twice a week

For example I do Biceps on Monday and Thurdays (with enough rest days in between) and triceps on Tuesday and Friday. I hope this is what you meant and it helps.
If not I'm open to answer more questions.

Greetings
