Anybody got an awesome arm routine that'll make my arms huge? I ain't expecting nothing over night, but I'm lost when it comes to training arms. I'm gettin extremly pissed with people thinking I have no muscle b/c my arms are small. Its so damn annoying. I got a post on the chat and convo board that explains what pushed me over the edge. ------------------ | ||

Try this one: 1. superset - - barbell curl 10,8,6,6, - french press 10,8,6,6; 2. preacher curl 3x8. - very short program. Take a single day for this stuff. You also can do abs and calves that day. [This message has been edited by Vovan (edited August 01, 2000).] | ||

Great. A couple more questions: Do you track your progression? (IE, do you have a workout log, and do you make sure that every workout you get stronger than the last?) If not, you have to start. If so, have you been getting stronger? If so, post your entire routine. If not, or if you are not tracking it, I'll come up with something for you. | ||

First off the golden rules of arm training for size. 1. Do Tri's and bi's on same day.

Paul: I keep a log on how I do in the gym and find when I'm angry at something I lift more weight then when I'm in a mellow state of mind. But I'm sure mostly everybody does too. My routine... Thanx for the help and tips guys. ------------------ | ||

OK. Here is what I would suggest (Lucky you, you get 2 for 1) If you can do it, try this workout, 3 times a week. (This is based on a Sean Toohey interpretation of McCallum) Squat 2x10 You must train as hard as you ever have, especially on the squats. Add at least 5 pounds to your squat every workout, and do not stop until you get all of your reps. Do it for at least 3 months, no skipping workouts, no drinking alcohol, no smoking, getting 9 hours of sleep a night, and eating at least 500 cals a day over maintenance, and at least 1.25g of protein per pound of BW. If that seems a bit much, or doesn't fit with your schedule, try this: Day 1 Back/biceps Day 2 rest Day 3 Chest/shoulders/triceps Day 4 rest Day 5 Legs Days 6 and 7, rest Start out a little under what you can do now, and add weight every week, and get your reps. Keep going using this routine until you go 2 weeks missing your rep goal. Same rules as above re: eating, drinking, etc. You'll notice a lack of arm work here. There is a reason. Arm work doesn't make you big. BUT - as you get bigger, your arms will get bigger. The keys are basic compound movements, progression, and hard work. Put on 20 pounds and see what your arms look like. | ||

This is all I do and my arms grow every week Chest day back day I just go all out on all reps and by the time I get to my arm work at the end of the day they're already fried. 2 sets of direct work for bi's and tri's works for me. May not for you. Try this for a month, measure, try a volume routine for a month, measure. If you don't make progress in one you will with the other, everybody's different. | ||

mr.stagg gave you a great routine except its missing deadlifts.do those instead of the sldl and youll improvein mass and power even quicker.everything else is solid. if you do insist on doing the sldl than substitute the bent row for the deadlifts. i think deadlifts are the most essential exercise along with the squat for total body development. s o u r j e r k | ||

if ur bodyweight remain roughly the same ur arms will not grow. u know. u have to pack on more mass on the whole body. just imagine a 120 lbs man with 23"inch arms, it aint gonna happen. | ||

Consider this,it's a little different but it'll start some growth.Once a week at least 2 days before chest or back.... Heavy BB curl 5 x5. Hammer curl 3 x8-10. Incline DB curl 2 x20-25.Use a weight you can handle and SQUEEZE on this one. Heavy close-grip press 5 x5. One arm extension 3 x8-10. DB kickback 2 x15-20. Six weeks of this,switching weekly between bi's and tri's first. | ||
