Maybe train biceps 5 times a week for 2 weeks...then once a week for 2 weeks and then nothing for 2 weeks....You'll have hit your bi's 12 times in a month and a half...Way better than my routine, I only hit bi's 6 times in that period (excluding compounds of course) ;)
I should write for M&F lol...(sorry, couldn't resist posting my smart-ass comments :D) |

ok..i get your point.... and i told him that if he wanted a routine and he couldnt find one, he could pm me because i'd probably have the one he wanted... and i think that doing heavy rows, etc - in general compound movements, stimulates arm growth as well, because although my arms havent grown in terms of inches on Mark's program, they're looking bigger and have become more "dense" if you know what i mean..... however, to be honest, i think that ignoring arms isnt a good idea.. i mean, when i started doing skull crushers my bench improved right...? the only thing to keep in mind is that curls are not more important than deadlifts or rows or etc... also, i started this as a "bicep" thread in mind, and decided to throw in different articles regarding biceps.... and sometimes, overtraining on a bodypart might help.. lets take kane's example, he overtrained like mad on his biceps when he started out (or so he says) and now he can lift heavier... me, i never did excess arm work... yet, my arms are big but weak.... when i began lifting i overtraned on my chest and back therefore i have a good chest but a horrible bench... my point is, i am not fence sitting... i put these articles to merely add to the bicep thread... i have already said which policy I believe in and hopefully, i've made myself clear.... have you noticed another thing...? when we do full body programs, we do biceps and triceps 3x a week for a total of 12x a month.... but i'll go over it once more.. 1.) doing biceps and triceps is important 2.) however, it is not MORE important than squats, deads or bench press Quote:
BUT, if i do 2-3 sets of bis + tris every alternate day, i'll be good to go... i hope this has cleared up all the issues... |

Also, your weak arms are purely subjective. Quote:

1. Not necessarily. We can choose to skip arms one day, two days, or all days and still be doing "full body". 2. With substantially reduced volume. You're really comparing apples and oranges when you compare these ultra high volume arm workouts to what someone should do on a full-body or even upper/lower. Quote:
I'm not trying to give you a hard time, I'm just trying to make some sense. I'm sure you'll set me straight :) :popcorn: |
i was one of those that thought working my arms to death would be good but have learned to 60 minutes cutting my arm workout to once a week sure makes a differents
