Dedicating one full training day to back is a popular method among many trainers. You have a lot of landscape to cover, and because the back muscles are generally strong and can withstand a lot of repetitions and weight, a great deal of effort is required to break down the muscles to spur growth.

At the same time, training other body parts along with back does have its advantages. Train back with biceps and hamstrings because during the back training, the arms and legs get hit as well.

The key is to devise a scheme that fits your lifestyle and training habits. If you don't have as many days in the week to train as you'd like, you might have to combine body parts; in this case, it may work well to pair back and biceps, since your bi's get some work during back training - just be sure to do your back first. If you have the time, consider giving your back its own day, especially if it needs extra attention.
