ARM day challenge

[wnt2bBeast]

damn bro!! why do you hate training arms? I just finished training them and now Im drinkin a city blends smoothie............FOR FREE!!! LOL We jusrt got in our city blends smoothie bar so I can have free smoothies all day.............no more lame protien shakes for me.

you still running 5x5? hows that going??
i did delts/tri's/abs
dbell press 5x5
side cable 2x10
reverse pec dec 2x10

cg benches 5x5
skulls 2x8
rope pushdowns 2x10

Why devote an entire day to such a small muscle group? Would you guys also do a 'calf day?'

 

[TRUEsoldier]

working calfs by itself would be mnore like working forearms by itself, Arms would consist the bi's, Tri's, forearms, could also be grip, I like doing arms on a day, but I also put Quads (for speed) on that day as well...

Your arms get hit enough by compound movements. Curls/extensions are unnecessary.

If I stopped training arms directly, Id have no FUCKING arms!! They would fucking shrivel into stumps...

Now maybe that would work if you are just trying to stay in shape, or something, but if your a bodybuilder, or anytype of massmonster! You would never get the size or strength desired

maybe for other people they arent such a small muscle group. i know mine are anything but small and they didnt get that way by letting them get hit indirectly by other lifts. everyone is different..........

Yep still runnin 5x5............Its goin good. I train bis tris and calves together on fridays. I like having a day with just arms I feel it gives me better gains.

I'm the same way, if my arms dont get their own day, and I dont give them hell, then they dont budge. I've tried every approach, and the only one that worked for me was giving them their own day. I'm on a 5 day split so giving them their own day is no big deal

I agree, there's no way my arms (especially triceps) get hit hard enough from compound movements alone
