Thread: skipping bi and tri

I don't think skipping direct bi and tri work is much of a problem at all, ever.

Of course it's beneficial. I very rarely do direct bicep/tricep work. I did my first set of curls and skull crushers this week and it has been like 3-4 months since i last did them and my arms are still growing. Compound exercises baby!

I haven't done a bicep curl or tricep extension of any kind in several months. Of course, I don't train for size, but my arms are a reasonable size relative to my overall body mass anyway.

I say prioritize your lacking areas, but don't skip out on your upper arms just because they grow easy, take advantage of that!

hit them with few sets after heavy compound exercises using them ...hit triceps after shoulders or chest day with 3-5 low rep sets and same for biceps after doing back .... instead of skipping them....

I don't even know why I train triceps, I never did the first 4 years I trained and they were big. I think compound movements done right are 95% of all you need for big arms.

Shit I know for a fact that foreman's arms are bigger then his calves and so are mine. What the point on that part of your question.
