I was rude. I was right, but non the less, rude.

My body looked pretty good too, before I knew how to properly train. Call it good genetics. My workouts looked a lot like yours. Thankfully, I had my fellow IM members call be retard and dumbass for 6 months before I reconsidering my training program. I did more reading, restructured a training program based off of the principles set forth in the stickies in the Training Forum, and my progress exploded.

Yes, you are very attractive, and you look like you are in shape, but in spite of your training, not because of it. Appearance is worth just about dog shit. Knowledge means everything. Your training program is not optimal, and just like 3/4 of all the trainers I see, you have no business training people.

Your opinion means dog shit too! I could care less what you think. I can train whomever I want. End of story.

I only replied to this thread because this poor guy asked what people do for their arm workouts, guys and gals. I didn't see anyone else being attacked and put down because of what they wrote. Men and women have different routines. Just because something doesn't work for you, doesn't mean it sucks.

I think people should shape their body anyway they like. It's not like everyone is going to be in a competition. Metal wants to make his arms bigger then people should help. If someone wants to work on her pigeon chest or fix her upper abs because if it... people should help and not be so mean.

your question was "what do you guys do for arms?"

It wasn't "how do i get big arms?"

Ouch.... damn, there is no protection from KelJu...
anyway, years ago I used to train arms by themselves (I'm pretty sure most of us have made that mistake). I followed a routine called 'armageddon' out of a magazine. I can't remember the whole routine, but it was something like this:
close grip bench
barbell curls
skullcrushers
preachers
pressdowns
alt dmbll curls
overhead extensions
cable curls
Everything was pyramided and each set was to failure.
It was fukkin brutal, and personally not very effective, unless you count having extremely sore elbows as effective.

Yeah, anybody can come up with a "brutal" workout. People get that sort of thing confused with "good". Its one thing to have a workout that takes you to muscular failure, but its more difficult coming up with something that will stimulate enough growth while not causing more damage than you can recover.


Gazholes super killer atomic arm blasting mega workout:

Triset 1 (No rest):
Concentration Curls 3x21 (7 partial reps in upper ROM, 7 in lower ROM, 7 full)
Skullcrushers 3x12
Preacher Hammer Curls 3x9 per arm

Triset 2 (No rest):
Overhead tricep extensions - 2x25
Standing bb curls 2x16
Wrist curls 2x100

Triset 3 (No rest):
Dips 1x4
Pullups 1x3
Pushups 1x5

I agree, that's why people should NEVER follow the ridiculous routines outlined in the various bodybuilding magazines. A guy I used to train with actually found something one time that supposedly added an inch to your amrs in one day. I don't know if he ever tried it or not, but it was something about supersets every hour for 12 hours. Pure comedy...
