How many times a week do you do arms??

[JOKER47]

I train for myself and no one else. I love setting goals. I never try and impress anyone. What is the point of impressing people? When I train, I don't make eye contact with anyone, unless someone says hello. I have been training for several years because I was once an athlete and I need to add strength. Just like gettinlarger said, there are many benefits to training. I never train to get women. . . to me that seems silly.

True dat.


But, back to the subject at hand.
I have trained arms once a week, twice a week and even three times week for a short time. I saw growth all three ways. But the most consistant growth in both size AND strength has been with my current chest/tri and back/bi split. (Once a week.)

Women.

I do it for myself first, but women don't come far behind.

BTW, I'm pretty sure he is lying about his arms unless he has extremely strange genetic disposition. How many guys do you see at that weight having 16 1/2" arms?

I think ill measure my arms, but get a great pump first, and wear a sweater, and a leather jacket, and let the tape measure hang pretty loose. That's accurate right?

kudos on that arm put down....

anyways, i work out because when I was n 5th grade i used to arm wrestle alot.. i beat everyone in my class, but then i lost to my best friend. so i took a pair of 8 pound DB and did curls everyday for a week, then I beat him the following monday..

i liked the idea if getting stronger. then i woke up extra early to record the workout shows like Co-Ed fitness and Kiana and all that shit, then i came home and mimmicked what i recorded..

and i was gaining little pecs and delts and biceps in no time..
i still arm wrestled alot.. till 8th grade when my friend asked me what i can bench.. i said i dunno, i never did it before, because i only did push ups for 3 years.. so i tried 95 and did that a few times, then tried 135 and i did it, it was hard.. but that was my max... and i think i weighed about 100 pounds... not very impressive, but i was a little guy.. so, from there on, i jsut continued to lift weights in my HS weight room. then eventually got a membership.. it became a habit.. then a passion.. and kinda like an art...

BTW needsize.. i dont throw up weight i cant handle to impress ANYONE. i jsut do what i can.. i dont think i need to explain myself or how i train... and i dont preach, thats Debaser...

also i dont work out for women, they tell me to stop cuz they say big guys are ugly.. i say... tssk.. some girls like it, some dont..

and if you have a chest like Arnolds... you would warm up with 225.. thats girl weight to Arnold... he used to rep 365 for 10's...

why do u ask

You're missing the point Oak, unless you're a powerlifter, then the amount of weight you can lift means absolutely nothing. I have seen guys built like arnold only pressing around 2 plates, did they look any less big because of the weight they were lifting, hell no!! I know NPC level guys that cant touch the amount of weight I can deadlift for reps, but who gives a rat's ass, I would trade all the weight I can lift for a back like theirs...

When girls say big guys are ugly, they're generally talking about Freak size.

How many girls, for example, do you hear saying "oh my god look at that ugly chippendale guy with the hideous body"

And you said you were going to give that DC program a shot. I'm not sure whatever happened to that. I tried to help you out even though you were an arrogant turd, and you continue.

I'm sorry, but you are the stereotypical arrogant teen in the gym who throws weight around, with no rhyme or reason, changes his routine every week, and never makes progress year after year. I'll be very surprised if you break 180 this year, and 200 lbs in your lifetime.

Some people just cannot be helped.

TheOAK,

Pretty solid routine! Do you eat a lot of food?

i train like a power lifter but i dont compete... is that a problem...

151 sets in 5 days with no rest. That's almost humorous.

And he eats like a bird, he's posted his diet before. It wouldn't matter how you eat if you trained like that. Even if he was on 5 g a week it wouldn't matter.

"Is that a problem", what the hell kind of question is that? BTW, i looked at your routine and that is nothing even remotely close to a powerlifters routine
