    There's no magic workout.

    What helps everything is patience, consistency, and intesity

    what kind of workouts do you do for your arms and/or chest right now?

    chest is bench(incline and decline aswell) dunmbell flys and push ups.

    Arms i do curls, rows, dumbell curls. I recently started doing a dumbell curl which is a lil over weight and then lowering at a slower pace, a mate of mine read about this routine online and we are giving it a go.

    I'm gonna go head and take a shot in the dark here, you're kinda new to lifiting huh?
    NBD that just means you're about to get some of your best gains. What your buddy is talking about is eccentric training. Commonly known as "Negatives" because your emphasising the Eccentric (or Negative) movement. Yeah it's supposed to stimulate a lot of growth and you can really feel that shit tear! Make sure your curls are with good form too many people F that up. Curls are supposed to be isolating your bicep muscle so you shouldn't be using your back at all, don't "throw" the weight up. You can pretty much open up any kind of muscle magazine and find a good sample workout for chest and/or arms. I'd reccomend finding one and sticking with it for a while. Just be patient your gains will come, as long as you keep your intensity high you wanna make those weights your bitch every time, and stay consistent don't be lazy, being jacked is funner. A good rule of thumb is 16 sets (4 sets and 4 exercises) for larger muscles (Like your chest) and 12 sets (3 sets and 4 exercises) for smaller muscles (Like biceps or triceps) but hey it's your workout you can mash it up however you want, just make sure you know what you're doing. Hope I could help! Take care and good luck!

    standing reverse curls with an ez bar are great for bicep and forearm mass.

    A1 - Skull Crushers - 10 sets of 10
    superset with
    A2 - Incline DB Curls - 10 sets of 10

    do a set of crushers wait 90 seconds than do a set of curls, wait 90 seconds than do another set of crushers etc till you do 10 of each ... your arms will grow .. but i don't think this is a good idea for a beginner , might pull a muscle

    according to popular opinion

    straight bar curls is best for full growth in biceps..

    skull crushers best for full growth in triceps...

    forearms.. umm IMO something works different for everybody

    i agree, as soon as i started to do skull Crushes i noticed the difference. Also make sure your diet is in check, if you are not eating properly you will not grow, in fact you could lose muscle…eat lots of protein meals.
