Bicepts and Forearm Growth...

[Lifterforlife]

yea i know what u mean Sassy,
usually after my back routines, my bi's dont have much left in them... im thinking to maybe do my Bi's on a seperate day

Bi's are probably more involved in back work in my opinion than tr's are in chest work. It makes absolutely no sense to do a heavy back workout, then turn around and bomb the bi's. Overtraining at its finest of a small "show" muscle group.

Right on, mon... the only more over worked group are the rectus abdominae... 'Why dont i have a six pack?' 'Because you ate them.'

It's funny how triceps make up the majority of an arm measurement and you rarely see anyone doing 20 sets of skullcrushers like they do barbell curls.

2 guys last night going back and forth doing high rep dumbell curls on the preacher bench for around 45 minutes straight. It's not even worth saying anything anymore.

so what would u guys reccomend for back workouts for me then?
i need to put on some size on my back, but i dont want to over train, as i feel i may have been doing in the past..

Pendlay rows! and chins will help. I never focus just on biceps never really felt like doing them, they get all they need from rows.

EDIT: why is this in the diet forum? lol

Intensity breeds density, quantity destroys quality.

Agreed. After a heavy back workout, the weight I would use for biceps is super light. I don't see how people can train triceps after chest and bis after back. There is no way I could hit triceps with the intensity they deserve after doing heavy chest presses.

If you do big time back, would you do bis the next day? WHat about doing chest on tuesday, then doing triceps on wednesday? I've always been confused as to when to positions the days I do arms and when I do chest, for this precise reason.
