I'm stuck in a rut. My first 4 months of lifting weights has been incredible. Now everything has slowed down to a crawl. I NEED A NEW ROUTINE!!!!

What were you doing before?

On Arms day I would simply pick 2 exercises for each bodypart 2 for biceps and 2 for triceps. And go from there. something like this

Skull Crushers-3x10
Dips-3x10
Bar Curls-3x10
Alternating Curls-3x10

Thats what my old routine for arms used to look like. Worked good for me, but like any other workout gotta switch it up every month or 2. But hey just my 2cents.

Why as many or more sets for arms than any other body part?

awful workout unless you are taking the same kind of drugs that guy is taking.

you can't just take someones routine and apply it to yourself...you have different genetics, a different training age, you aren't taking the same drugs, etc.
