Thread: Workout intervals and dominant hand weaker than non-dominant?

Damn, honestly, post your workout that you use every day.. Then we can do more to help.. Also, are you trying to bulkk, cut or maintain ??

I guess I'm trying to bulk for now, then get some cuts later. My workout schedule is this so far.

Hammer Curls - 3 sets of 11
Bicep Curls - 3 sets of 11
Standing Zottman Curls - 3 sets of 11
Concentration curl - 3 sets of 11
Overhead Tricep Extension - 3 sets of 11
Standing Single Arm Dumbbell Extensions - 3 sets of 11

I usually do biceps and triceps in intervals of 3 or 4 days with rest in between or another muscle group like pecs and deltoids.

What is your program, what do you do on each day?

Though i can say right now, you're going to need to rethink it if you're doing 6 exercises/18 sets for biceps.

Still a lot of useless shit for an incredibly small muscle group, lol.

Hmmmm.........I probably did the stupid mistake and thought more means better. Got any suggestion for biceps and triceps? Like sets and reps?

Not training them directly to save time, energy, money, and recovery is the best thing you can do. Arm isolation is next to useless for pretty much everybody. Sure, but a few sets at the end of your upper body days, but we're talking like 1 or 2, and certainly not a whole workout dedicated to arms.

Your arm muscles are absolutely tiny, and will get worked plenty in big movements like bench, rows, military press, and pullups. Theres no reason to try and isolate them. Bicep curls are useful in strengthening the bicep tendons if you do a lot of strongman/powerlifting, but otherwise stick to what works - the basics!

Well, how bout if If I do a bicep/tricep workout for 1 day and then follow it up with a full body workout or vise versa. Will that work?

Like i said - you don't need a bicep/tricep workout. Dedicating a whole workout to arms is stupid and a waste of time at best, and counter-productive at worst. Put a set or two of curls/tricep extensions at the end of your upper body workouts and focus that extra energy on:

Bench
Military Press
Rows
Pullups

Use that extra day to do some cardio, active recovery, power work, grip work, core work...something productive!

if he is trying to bulk using an "arm" day wont be to bad , specially if his arm size is lacking but soon as he cuts , the arm day will screw up everything

i say arm day will be ok as long as he sets up a proper diet and training split

All right, I'll add biceps/triceps with my full body workout.
