wow, this may be the most enlightening thread yet!!! I cant believe what i am hearing! Seems like we are talking about 30 mins of busting your ass on a muscle and gettin the hell out of the gym. That would be nice to see results with that! Looking forward to seeing swole's workout.

Have you guys ever tried taking the straight bar and instead of curling it in the traditional sense, just lift your fists up towards your chest...I've started doing it and i like it, it feels like it really works the part of the bicep by the elbow.

1 quick warmup for biceps on the hammerstrength preacher.
1 quick set of barbell curls then 1 all out failure set of cheat barbell curls (dont knock it) where i get a big negative out of the reps. I go balls the walls on these, horribly painfull. Like i said, dont knock it... when you're the point of curling what most people bench, then some cheating helps near the end.
Then 1 set of slow incline dumbell curls.
My tricep workout is dips 1 warmup set with bodyweight for 15 then i jump up and add 3 45 plates and go to town, then i hit up one failure set of close grip benches.
it hasn 't failed me.

I have an arm day.. I can't imagine going for heavy biceps or triceps after a hard major muscle group workout.

4 sets for arms? i tried cutting my workout down. But i only went as low as 6 sets for arms and felt i needed more! I now do 6 sets for bi's 6 for tri's. Guess you have to find what works for you.

I can't possibly give anymore than i give. I can't move my arms after i do this workout.

Sounds good to me. One warm up and then go as heavy as you can a couple of times. The tough part for me is knowing when to add weight so I don't feel as if I cheated myself out of a better workout.

how deep do you go on your dips bdtr? I do them on chest day so i dont use them on arm day. May do tho in a few weeks when i change things up again.

All the way, keeping my body perfectly straight when i do them for triceps.

K, sorry guys! I'm working on some promo sh*t, has all my attention.....
K, here goes......my current routine that is working well to keep adding size to my frame, while staying lean (in conjunction w/my dietary practices) Those are key in how you look of course. Below is my stimulus, but what/how I eat I would consider more important. Anyhow -------------->
Day 1:
Chest/Sh/Triceps
3 sets incline d-bells
3 sets flat or decline d-bells
3 sets cable work/machine flyes (straight handles)
4 sets sh presses OR 4 sets lateral raises. (2-3 tempo!)
4-5 sets of any tricep work. Skullcrushers/ close grip bench/etc.
Day 2:
Quads
3 sets "sissy" type squats on smith
3 sets hack squats
3 sets extensions or controlled lunges
(Note: doing leg re-hab so I am training all parts more frequently as long as I need to have my legs recover on time. Not worried about much else. Hence the 4 days in a row, then one day off)
Day 3:
Back/Biceps/Traps
3 sets pullups/lat pulldown machine (width)
3 sets row type movement (thickness)
3 sets deads (heavy days) or v-bar rows (light days)
4-5 sets any heavy bicep movement. (Straight bars or Hammers) Mass builders.
5 sets d-bells shrugs, straight up and down, 20 reps each set.
Day 4:
Hams/Calves/Abs
4 sets ham curls
4 sets stiff leg deads
5 sets seated calves
5 sets rope crunches w/weight!!! Brick City
Day 5: Cardio only.
Day 6: Repeat.
Not a lot of volume, but a CLEAR/HARD message to grow/keep the size I have, w/out over-training myself due to calories that are not being provided. (trying to stay in relatively lean shape while getting legs back to 100%, then I'll cut. I can never "BULK" like that, just can't do it) So, I avoid the CNS damage as well by sleeping and eating exactly what I need to in order to recover.
Get your mind right too, when that's 100% positive, you can't fool yourself.
Hit it hard!

do you change it drasticly, when you are training at 100%?

Not too much, nope. An extra rest day, more kcals and such, and some more work maybe. But it won't be as intense if I'm doing more volume. That's the key.

-
07-05-2004, 10:10 AM #76
I fight for every dam cenitimeter I put on my arms... Tried a pile of different routines to... I'm going to give your's a try swole and let you know how it goes in 2 months

-

i asked him this question in the diet forum. On heavy days he does reps from 2-6 and lighter days he goes for 10-12 reps.
-

my philosophy has always been 3 sets 8 reps heaviest weight with good form but i recently witched it to 12 reps then 10 then 8 getting new muscle growth with the switch up

effort and intensity is what makes muscles grow... and get bigger, and stronger..
ie... if you could do 1 set of 3 reps and grow 1" on your arms every 3 months..
wouldn't you do that??
static training..
but you have to have all over growth.. that's why swole is saying build the lets..The answer to your every question
