I know, I know, its hard to believe but its true. Two weeks ago I measured them and they were 14.7 w/no pump, and today they were 15.6 w/no pump. I know thats not very big, but its good for me (5'5" 165). I think it is because of the bicep workout I have been doing. First I have been training bi's and tri's together on the same day. Second, my arms used to never get real sore because I think I overtrained them, then I cut back on arms and kept them away from everything else. Then I started changing up my excersices every time and all of a sudden my arms were getting sore after every workout. Just thought I would shout that out cause Iam kinda in good mood now.

Sometimes cutting back is the best way to go. It allows full recovery. I train my arms probably once every 10-12 days and they're 18". Before I used to train them intensely twice a week and they stopped getting sore and I stopped seeing the gains I wanted. Then I started to work them with less frequency, less volume, but greater intensity and I gained 2 inches in a 2 year period. Good luck bro. Keep lifting. ------------------ IP: Logged |

Congratulations Digga! I train my arms this way and I'm having tremendous results as well. Training them on seperate days never worked for me and, like you, I do a different routine every time. Variety is the key to growth and I think you just hit upon it. Once again, congratulations, I'll look for you at the Mr. Olympia. --------------------------------------- Train.........................(S)mart IP: Logged |

Way to go. I recently started to train both bi's and tri's on the same day and it really made a difference. I feel a greater PUMP that seems to last longer. Good luck and keep up the good work IP: Logged |

the last two weeks I did this routine: Week 1: Week 2: I hope you guys can understand this I am not the best at explaining things. I know you guys are already saying "Man that is way too many sets" but it was after a little experimenting that I found I need more sets and low reps to get a good burn in my arms. I found 3 sets was not enough to get that deep down soreness...everyone is different so experiment! Digga IP: Logged |

I notice when I eat a lot of carbs the next day my biceps are about 1/2 inch bigger than normal. IP: Logged |

Rex, take the two high pully handles like you were going to do cable crossovers, but instead grip them and pose like your going to do a double bicep pose. Keep your biceps parallel to the floor. 1st part of motion: Arms are parrallel to floor, as if you are in a crucifix. Digga IP: Logged |

Fuck! You said you noticed growth when you cut back on your training becasue you were overtraining. WTF were you doing before then. Your "new" routine consists of 15 sets for bis alone and 12 sets for tris. Thats more sets I use on my whole body in a week!!! IP: Logged |

I was doing arms on Tuesdays and Fridays, then they were no longer getting sore and seemed to be declining in strength. So I only work them once a week now. I have tried only doing 9 sets but it just doesnt do anything for me. And yes, my arms did grow that much, I have measured them since and they havent changed, I believe it was because I was working them so often. Believe what you like, but this routine is workin for me so Iam gonna stick with it. Digga IP: Logged |
