Mass For Arms

[BIGPHIL]

Rep wise for bicep / tricep mass would 10-8 reps be suffice or reps within the range of 8-6?

i keep it at 12 reps on both.

You have to figure out what works best for you. I do my biceps after back and triceps after chest so I only do 2 exercises w/ 2-3 sets each @ 8-12 reps.

splitting the workout like script said is good, esp. if u wanna add mass go heavy on ur back exercises and chest. tht will hit the bi's and tri's nicely before u finish off with some isolated exercises. dont stress to much bout the reps man. 2 extra or 2 less reps is not gonna matter tht much, just hit thm really hard, and eat very well. consistency is the key

no not really anything ov 15 reps may be a bit high, i like it i get a great pump/burn...been doing it for years now and i enjoy the results

I always thought the common consensus was that biceps respond better to lower reps and triceps respond better to higher reps.

putting on mass is a function of your diet more so then the rep range.

Agreed, but it is a combination of that along with finding your genetic rep range...Meaning what your body responds to in that particular muscle group, that can be tested...

the real key to growing muscle tissue

rest
mixing up the type of exercise.. 2 weeks do high reps 2 weeks low reps high weight
