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???

 

[MikeyLikesJuice]

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.

 

[MikeyLikesJuice]

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.

i do them on separate days cause i do 20 mins of cardio first before every workout. If I did them on the same day, i'd be in the gym for like three hours!! lol

When do you do legs??

 

[MaxBiceps]

When do you do legs??

Sorry. I do them on saturday. My legs are fucking huge. Especially my calves,
so I'm not really worried about them. Plus I do cardio six days a week before
lifting, so my legs are nice and strong.

You should look into Mike Mentzers HIT. Training, you will never look at doing that many setsa the same again. It was the best thing I ever did. www.mikementzer.com
