    Why do people do deadlifts on "back" day? It is a posterior chain compound lift.

    I do deads on back day. after 8-10 weeks or so I switch up and do rack pulls.

    If you're following BGB I believe biceps are included in the quad focused day. If you're making a new split I personally wouldn't have back and bis in the same workout. Your biceps get hit enough with back work.

    If you insist on that split:
    back - deadlifts, bb row, neutral pull-ups (no need to go wide) or lat pulldowns, you could throw in another rowing exercise if need be.

    bis: I would do hammer curls and call it a day. But adding another exercise wouldn't hurt.
