Bicep Pump advice

I need some advice here;
at the gym I was working both my biceps and triceps on same day
.
I would kick of with triceps, which involved;
3 sets - pressdown on lat machine
3 sets - parallel bar dips
3 sets - bent over lat machine extensions
3 sets - bent over dumbbell kick backs
.
now; before even starting biceps, I find my biceps have huge pump - "WHY" ?

If I start my bicep work out with barbell curls by the time I have completed 3 heavy sets, I feel I am losing the pump?
.
I have started working my biceps & triceps on separate days but why do I get such a bicep pump after working triceps?
 
I just think your upper arm is filling with blood. After I do my over head military presses, I right away do pull-ups. I believe it helps me keep my pump.

Thing is Vince, when I work my biceps I dont get the pump in triceps,
but no matter when I work out my triceps I always get a bicep pump, not sure why, that's why ive started working out triceps & biceps on separate days
 
Added localized blood flow but there's no way you should be getting a bi's pump on tri's work and you really should split those up and pair it with chest/tri's or back/bi's. I think youre perception of this pump is not correct as it just doesn't work the way that you think you're seeing things.

I was finishing off with arms, working back or chest first, suspect chest or back workout was also working biceps, but still get a huge bicep pump when working triceps?
 
You are way overthinking this. You are getting a pump. This is a good thing. Are your arms strong? Are they growing and/or getting mor ripped and vascular? If the answer is yes, then you're good. This shouldn't be one of those how many angels can dance on the end of a pin things. What works for one guy, doesn't work, or even feel the same for another.

Back work definitely works the biceps, but if you are saying you are working chest, back and arms on the same day, you are way overtraining.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
