    AHaha, yea I get it. No man, I don't do that.

    Yes, I did workout 3 time that day, the biceps at around noon, triceps at around 6pm and legs late at midnight at the gym.
    Never done it before, but hey, test and trial.

    I am pretty beat up. Feels good though.

    Sounds like you are trying like hell to get something that works for you. But you definatly need to train legs alot better. Squats are a must IMO. If you don't train your equal to your upper body you with eventually plateau. It may sound goofy but last year I was half ass'n my leg work out for half the summer and my upper body suffered as well. Guy told me strengthen your legs and your upper body will follow. I thought he was bs'n me but it did work. About a month after training my legs balls to the wall my bench went up almost 20lbs. Not trying to flame you, cause like I said before you definatly seem to want to improve just trying to give you some positive feedback. Good luck with your training bro.

    Thanks brotha!
    Yeah I want to try some of that weighted Dip. Never done it.
    I am going to pick up a nice belt with chain for plate and give it a shot next time.

    That D-bell bench really helped me out.. especially for incline!

    Gotta keep it going!

    Hows Your diet Audis? Going good ? no cheating ?

    ya bro, I've noticed some nice seperation in my tricep since I introduced weighted dips

    No, I cheated on thanksgiving and christmas but it was just a lot of brown rice and lots of turkey

    I think I'm going to have a carb up day every other week rather than every week. I never have 'crap food cravings' which is good! Right now I'm at around 3,150kcals on workout days (4-500 under maintenance) and 2,700kcals on rest days (wed., sat., sun.)

    I've been just doing cardio PWO for about 30 min but my training is fairly intense I suppose. We'll see where I'm at for spring break.

    Man, lucky You, I have crap food cravings all the time lately, why ? Because it is all around me, when my mom or my sister cooks
    They do cook nice food for me some times but not all the time. Some of their stuff is so good, but not too good for my diet.
    I am fighting every day man...every day.

    if you did half of that intensitty (if you call it that, it';s more like a waste) and applied it to your leg training, you'd see some very positive results......quit spinning your friggn wheels doing 100 sets of beach curls.....

    I have been training bi's 2x's/week because I'm disappointed how small they are ;(

    I'll do back/bi's (2 bicep workouts) on monday and friday I'll do shoulders/bi's (again 2 sets of bi's)

    I love doing splits. I use to do 1 body part each day and do bi's/tri's on their own day but found I have been growing more doing splits. Try a split if your not already and see how that goes.

    For example, my week looks like:
    Monday: back/bi's
    Tuesday: chest/tri's
    Wednesday: OFF
    Thursday: legs
    Friday: shoulders/bi's

    Well, I try new things, some work well some not. I did try 2xweek biceps BUT, with this type of workout as last time, when I did 95 as pre exhaust and bunch of sets at moderate weight, I just can't do it 2x week because thats how beat up my biceps is. It seems to be working though. Take more time to recover that's for sure. Well, could do it but need 4 days in between. Will see..

    For now I'd say:

    Chest/Shoulders/Triceps
    Back/Biceps
    OFF
    Triceps/Legs
    OFF
    Chest/Shoulders/Triceps
    Back/Biceps

    Back/Biceps - split from each other not at the same time, Back morning, Bi evening

    Triceps seems to recover very fast...

    I will give this a shot.. pretty sure will be needing an extra day OFF somewhere in between.

    To be honest... I wanted to more but I couldn't even do all my exercises..reason why ? I was very suprized! My ABS were little sore today, when I did my deads I was afraid of blowing my stomach up, I could not keep it thight, that's how sore it was.
    It was from that Biceps training the other day, all sets standing with strict form, You know how much ABS get involved in keeping body straigh when doing standing curls, especially for so many sets!
    Well... Need adjustments to the routine...

    Staying with 300 would be fine as long as you are trying to increase the reps each time......but looking back, did you drop off?

    Yeah, looks like I dropped by two reps.
    Like I said, I could not go anymore because of my abs giving out on me badly, I couldn't hold the tight anymore.
    Man, would of never thught that my ABS will get so damn involved in bicep workout, this is crazy...

    And as far as doing 475223 sets of curls, well... maybe I'll get some photos of my arms after this workout... it gets my arms really good, got some freaking vein popping up on the outer side going acros my bi and triceps..
    It is a intense workout, I will be doing it once a month tho, bit too rough. Really affects my other workouts.

    You doing the same weight for the same amount of reps tells me your intensity is low and its not maximum weight...why?

    Cmon chest, don't say that this is a low intensity. For YOU I am sure it is, but keep in mind that You are STRONGER that I am. But yes I could pump up the weight, it was a test
    It seems like I am getting really good workout out of it, I won't do it all the time, not all same sets at least, BUT I do need that pre-exhaust before working sets, that's for sure.

    I will try pumping up the weight next time though. This was only a "Test" wanted to see how is that gonna work.

    So Columbus You are telling me that I wont grow for sh!t by doing this kind of biceps exercise ? Don't compare 95lbs and 75 lbs to a cell phone weight, because I am not that stong now, so this is not a light weight for me. Not like You BIG STRONG mofos!

    Thanks fellas

    Not really tryin to criticize you here Im just sayin I see no point in it.

    Just sayin it seemed easy for ya cuz you got 6 every set and you weren't increasin in weight..

    Dang, let's chill out fellas! No fighting!
    I don't take any of this as a flame or criticizm but as opinion and advice.
    Yeah 75 seems like not too heavy, I kept strict form though and as sets passed by, it really was intense. But like I said, it was a test. It did work good though. Next time I will try to pump up the weight and cut bit on sets.
    Should be good.

    The point of it is that, if I do only 3 sets of heavy BB, 3 sets of heavy Hammer add one more exercise.. I just dont feel like it is enough, not even close. I NEED more sets on my arms for PRE-EXHAUST as they call it, and hit arms more for longer period of time/reps. I find this more intense than regular Biceps routine. I am sure If I practice this and match up the right weights for myself for each set, this will be a great bis workout.

    No fighting! We're all bros! Now... everyone kiss each others asses, yes just like that and be cool!
    Time go get HUGE!

    Appreciate the comments!

    Thanks Audis, appreciate it!
    Yes, I cannot wait too man! I have feeling it will be a good gain cycle! I never had problems with putting on mass. I'm at 221 Lbs right now! Slow but solid gains! I can still see some of my abs flexing, so that's how I know my bf is not killing me yet!
    Just gotta make sure to get max out of it!
    I bet You I'll buy food for whole month in advance to make sure I wont run out while on cycle!

    I would do 3 working sets of flat/incline/dips/pull downs to avoid overworking.
    For flat I would start out at 150 (warmup), 200, 225, 250
    dips I would start weighted dips and see how many you can knock out. I usually grab a 65lbs d-bell and strap it on my belt.

    Yeah I wanted to do weighted but forgot damn belt.
    With bench press.. good idea with 150 warmups. Thing is me not strong at chest, and I have no spotter So I don't know if it is even worth trying 250 if I can't even do a nice assisted last rep or two
    I'll try my best though next time, and see if I can even lift 250 !
    I think I can do it but only for about 3 reps. Never tried Will see.
    Thanks Audis!
