hmmm...such high rep counts...

Also, I've always found it better to pre-exhaust the bis with back work FIRST...then hit the bis for a few sets, if you're going to do them on the same day. If you do Bis first, your back routine will suffer...vice versa is not necessarily true. IMHO

I would always do back first myself, but I do like the look of the routine in that he inserts a rest day after every single workout. As well, he gives himself a lot of rest time. That probably allows for more volume and greater intensity.

Are you on any legal steroids, as I like to call them, such as M1T?

I agree with these two guys - I'd work back first. Big muscle groups need big weights to grow, and if you're biceps are already tired, you're taking away from your back. If you want to work biceps when they're "fresh" try pairing them up with something else.

Also, for bulk, it is generally good to be below the 12-15 range. More like 6-10 is probably better.

You're only working biceps once every eight days. I followed this routine for 5 months and gained 2" on my arms. Went from 18" to 20"-- Its a Blaster.
My back routine wasnt effected in 5 months time, but my biceps were in a good way so....? I say if your natural,give this a shot if you want bigger guns.

That's a fine routine, my man, but I see nothing indicative of it that would lead me to believe it's going to add 2 inches on an arm in 5 months. You don't even dictate what level of intensity to use.

Ohh I forgot saw palmetto.lol

On all sets use weights such that you fail in the prescribed rep range. Rest -Pause Training. Do a set to failure Rest 30-60 min's and continue through out going as heavy as you can. You must train progressively, and try to add weights regularly or get an extra rep with the same weight.
