Rediculous Arm strength

[joe d]

That is what I was thinking...doing is on OFF days

that might work out but i dont understand why you are hesitant to do something like drop one back lift and one bi lift and replace with a few sets of another kind of back and bi lift thats geared more towards your goals. replacing a set of chins and a set of curls with 2 sets of rope climbs makes the most sence to me when compared to doing all the chins and all the curls then climbing on a recovery day.

I never said I want to "focus" on arm wrestling or armwrestling is my main goal guys. All I said is my focus when training arms is getting them as big and as strong as possible....my goal is 20" arms....while still looking pretty shredded

I just want to add sone arm wrestling training into it because it increases your arms' strength like crazy..i wouldnt call it my goal becausae i cant find a league in Canada to arm wrestle under

As Ed Coan said, "Biceps are like ornaments on a Christmas tree."

In the world of functional strength, biceps are a weak player. Also, the majority of your arm size comes from your triceps. Your tris also are more part of functional strength.

forearms and biceps play the biggest part in armwrestling

Plus, having a big strong biceps is pretty important to me...

Remember, I'd like to be as strong as a powerlifter, but at the same time, I want to look like a bodybuilder. Overall development and little "ornaments" are important to me as well.

That's easy!

Train like a powerlifter and eat like a bodybuilder

lol yeah this seems to be the latest craze

doing something like 5/3/1 would allow you to make continous progression on the big lifts and also get some volume in with assistance work only differance is you wouldnt be doing a typical bodybuilding split it would be more like upper/lower/upper/lower...

have you heard of the 5/3/1? its not the only option but is quite popular right now...

I disagree all too much my friend.

You will not look like a bodybuilder training like a power lifter and you can't lift like a powerlifter eating like a bodybuilder lol....hence the dilemma

In the morning I will post you the link to matt kroc's results of his bodybuilding show. He is an elite level powerlifter, world champion in the 220 class, he entered a BBing show and I'll admit he trained like a bodybuilder for around 12 weeks before the show but compared to the 15 or so years of powerlifting before I doubt it made too much differance...

He won the open class and had the smallest waist and as you might have guessed the best back. Like I said ill post a link tomorrow.

Yeah powerlifting might not be optimal for being in competetive bodybuilding contest shape but it's not the worst choice, and how else do you propose to be as strong as a powerlifter without that training lol. Only other path I see is strongman, and I have to admit if I could do strongman I would forget competing as a PLer and jump at the opportunity of strongman training....

Wrist control is more important than biceps in arm wrestling.

i think you are wrong here. a little assistance work to any pl routine with a bb diet will work. ive done it plenty myself. the training program means little as long as your numbers climb and your working all of the muscles. diet is the main source of growth.
