Thread: How important is to work out biceps and triceps?

If you want 17 inch arms like IRON MAN then do alot of isolation work, if you want 20 inch+ arms then do big movements and only use isolation work for about 10-15% of your bicep workout.

Thanks cow pimp and all. So there is no compound movements that cover ups abs exercises?

Read through all the stickies. There are plenty of examples of exercises throughout.

For the last few weeks of my push/pull/legs regime, I added an "accessory" day. This would be my fourth day of the week and it was on this day I would do core, cardio, grip strength, and some arm movements if I hadnt done them on the push/pull days.

E.G.
Push

Barbell Bench Press
Standing overhead Barbell press
Dumbell decline fly
Lateral Dumbell Raise

Pull
Weighted Pullups
Barbell Row
Lat pulldown
Unilateral Dumbell Row

Leg
ATG Squats
Deadlifts
Lunges
Leg Curls

'Accessory'
Barbell Curls
Skullcrushers
Towel pullups
Static Holds
Wrist curls
Leg Raises
Rope crunch

It seems like my accessory day is longer than the rest, but its actually the shortest. Some days I wont do any arm movements or less grip work; it changes every week. Low volume, short rests. Err, actually it could be longer with cardio added to it, but cardio might be added to other days.
