More sets I'd say, about 4 - 5 sets of each movement, at 8-10 reps should do the trick.



These are my favorite faces : - - -

Personal Bests:

Bench - 235
Deadlift - 315 X 17
Squat - 315 X 11
40 yrd. - 4.65

i would say up the reps on biceps ... but the triceps should be 8 sets as well ... the triceps are bigger then the biceps (2/3 compares to 1/3 of the arm)

and i would switch ..
"concentrated curl 2x8
hammer curls 2x8
one arm curls 2x8
e-z bar 2x6"

to a different order like
e-z bar
one arm curls
hammer curls
concentration curls



somehow trying to get the abs but bulk at the same time.......

If you want bigger arms you need to concentrate on tri's. Try doing some close grip bench, skull crushers, dips, maybe a lill push downs. For Bi's do some preachers, BB curls, incline db curls, maybe some hammer curls as well. Those are some of the main mass building excersises.

BTW pudz is massive, and I can't find his measurments anywhere. Do you know what his stats are?

-barbell curl...2 x 4-6
-preacher curl...2 x 4-6
-hammer curl...1-2 x 4-6
-CG bench press...3 x 4-6
-skull crush...2 x 4-6
-single arm dumbell extension...1-2 x 4-6


That above is GoPro's arm workout (power section) which no doubt alot are familiar with. There are only two sets per exercise, and only three exercises per bodypart - and look at him. Sure, he likely has better genetics than we do, but it's comprehensive.

Personally, I'd think many more additional sets would be over-training. If you did 4x or 5x on each of the exercises above, I think it'd do more damage than good!

what your doin looks alright, but i'd recommend switching them exercises around

like put skulls before pushdowns, add dips at the end to finish off your tris

change weights, reps and speeds, try supersets... (they kill your triceps!)

just gotta shock em into growth

peace

The measurements of Mariusz Pudzianowski:

- Nape 54 cm
- Waist 90 cm
- Thigh 77 cm
- Weight 131 kg
- Height 186 cm

As for converting them, youll have to do that yourself Basically 6'2" and 175 lbs. Such a bad ass!
