Thread: Arms

I don't think there is anything wrong with supersets, dropsets, and other such "shock" techniques. Although I think some people overuse them, I think it is pretty hard to kill yourself with this type of technique when curling or doing tricep pushdowns. There just isn't a huge neural involvement when doing said exercises.

I have a good feel for my triceps, however I was wondering if doing like 2 excercises for 3 sets 2X a week for biceps is too much, could I do more?

example

Mon - Preacher 3 sets, Concentration Curls 3 set

Thurs - barbell curls 3 sets, hammer curls 3 sets

is that good enough/too much?

Arms are always an afterthought for me.

Get big everywhere else first then your arms will follow.

I sep my workout into 2 segments. Wake up... piss around w/the weights - do something weird and play with insignificant movements like bis, tris, abs. Then go to work.

Do the real workout when I get home.

Nothing wrong with that.

When I get done with my push or pull, I find that my tris/bi's are already kicking in, so I usually do 2 sets of 8-10 or so and that usually is good for me.

there are plenty of SIGNIFICANT MOVEMENTS for the tris...... dips, close grip, skull crushers, tricep pullovers, 2 arm dumbell ext. ...... reverse grip close grip bench......

Arms are so important to me, the bigger, the better

That's what I usually do as well. Anymore and I think it would be overkill for the arms.

Well if you are looking for something to finish off your bis or tris drop sets are nice, but just like CP said you have to only do them now and then. Once every month and a half or so IMO. I also like partials and holds in the middle of the rep. As far as the ultimate tri builder goes, my vote goes to skulls. They make my triceps so sore its not even funny.

If what you are doing is giving you gains that is awesome. If your gains slow down you may want to change up your routine and add in some additional hammer curls , barbell curls for bicept and skull crushers for tricepts. I made the mistake of cutting out my bicept workout for a 6 weeks once because I was heavy into weighted chins. My bicepts deteriorated. Now I am back into working my bicepts and have gained back my losses. Live and learn.

there is no fucking t in bicep or tricep you moron

That's unique. So many of us really don't care what our arms look like.


BigGuns Jim Snow. LOL


I'd sell a quarter inch off my arm for some of Al Bundy's "BIG-UNS"!

My bad. It's best to treat others the way you would want to be treated. Disrespect for others will only breed disrespect from others. God Bless.

Does anyone else think that's ironic? No 't' in 'tricep'...?

Sorry, couldn't resist...
