Bi's and tri's Baby!!

[MaxBiceps]

How many sets do you do for your bi's? how many sets for your tris?
I go one body part each day
Mon-chest-------4 exercises 4 sets x6-10 reps
tue-back---------Ditto
wed-shoulder (delts only)----ditto
thurs-bis---------3 exercises 4 sets of 6-10 reps
fri-tris-------------3 exercises 4 sets of 6-10 reps

I do 3 exercises with four sets of ten for my Bi's and tris's each. What are your opinions?
Overtraining???

i like 12 sets not including warm-ups

maxbiceps are you asking if overtraining because you feel you are? Are your arms not growing?

 

[MaxBiceps]

i feel my arms are growing. I just looked over on the training discussion board,
and they were giving advice to someone saying anything more than 2 exercises
with 3 sets of ten for the bi's and tri's was overtraining.

i just have a habit of trying to do too much when i hit a plateau.

i don't agree with that, thats 6sets and 60reps, did I read that right, for a total.

 

[MaxBiceps]

correct.

where is the leg training?

but seriously...if you feel your arms growing, stick with it. Everyone responds a little different to training stimulus, so if something works for you, do that. Just my 2 cents.

lol I remember when I use to do 12 sets of 12 -15 reps, and was growing still, funny how this would be consider ot but I was still recovering faster then I was breaking down. Do you agree with that max?

MY BI AND TRI W.O.:


bis- 3 exercises- 4sets 6-8 repetitions, last set of each exercise to failure
tris-3 exercises- 4sets 6-8 repetitions,last set of each exercise to failure.

work both on same day.

totally. Started lifting when I was 14 and i didn't even have an idea of a workout routine. i would do like 10 sets of 10 every day and still grow. lol....if i only knew.
