Bro's how often do you train you'r arms (biceps) each week?

[wls8687]

the question is above

 

[wls8687]

Oh i mean while on steroids too..

 

[casualbb]

2-3x... but that's for 1-2 sets of curls after everything else

 

[psychedout]

As it stands right now for biceps:

Monday 1 drop set of hammer curls

Wednseday 5x5 on barbell curls

Friday 1 drop set of hammer curls

I just started this though, so I can't say for sure the results, but I think they will be good.

On juice you could hit biceps twice per week at 6 or so sets IMO. Make sure those 6 sets are basic exercises done with good intensity though. I would do one light session 10-12 reps, and one heavy session 4-7 reps.

 

[jokerswild]

4 Sets preacher 6-8 rep max
4 sets standing barbell curls 6-8 rep max
2 sets hammer barbell 6-8 reps
2 sets seated barbell curls lighter weight 14-18 reps or failure

 

[Womanizer]

3x a week

 

[mayhems]

2-3 times no juice btw

 

[anthrax]

Directly : once every 10 days

Indirectely (eg chin-ups) : every upper body workout

 

[liftingfreak1983]

on DC's routine i work every muscle in my body 2x every 8 days

 

[ghettostudmuffin]

I haven't directly trained biceps going on 6 weeks now.

Funny thing is they are bigger than ever and growing.

Indirectly they get trained 3x a week from back.

 

[BlondBomber]

Once per week, just switched to an arms only day. Previously, chest/triceps and delts/biceps, before that chest/biceps and delts/triceps. From having trained PLing for years, my triceps got a lot of early attention. My biceps are not huge, but have always grown.
Oh, never juiced, but I would still only work them once a week.

You doing madcows 5x5? Sounds something like it. I am doing it to, but I still do a bit of direct armwork. Hoping to gain some size on my arms.

 

[ghettostudmuffin]

Bro, my arms have grown 3/8" since I started this program. With this program you don't need extra arm work. The triceps get hit hard from all the benching and pressing and the biceps get hit hard from all the rowing and chinning.

 

[eat big]

Not on juice but I do three exercises after back and 4 exercises on arm day. I am unusual because I require a lot of volume to grow, may not work for you.

I believe they have grown that much, but wouldn't they grow even more with just a bit of arm work?

nothing wrong with thowing in some Bi work on that 5x5 routine..even WSB calls for doing some bi work..

however with my tendonitis i have just started doing some hammer curls for 3 sets of 15-20..when im healed up i find that doing babrbell rows with 315 works my bi's a lot better than doing curls with a buck and change

 

[hoogish_feet]

directly once per week.....but you do work them significantly when training back, so in reality it's like 2 times per week.

You also hit them a little doing upright rows, but not too much

 

[ghettostudmuffin]

I'm not sure whether they would grow more or not. Maybe, but I like 3/8" gain in 6 weeks. I'm not greedy.

Also, my biceps get hit hard when I do the rows twice a week because I do them curl-grip style and I do my chinups curl-grip style so adding in more curling exercises is kinda redundant. If I wasn't doing so many curling type motions I would add more in, or if my arms weren't growing I would, but they are growing fine without right now.

 

[anthrax]

biceps growth is more or less proportional to overall body weight gain

 

[psychedout]

Agreed. I spent a lot of time trying to get just my arms to grow and got nowhere. Yet, when I just STFU and train everything to grow, they grow.

 

[Guinness5.0]

amen

 

[gjohnson5]

1 day specifically

Shoulder shrugs hit biceps some
Back hits the biceps alot

 

[Dial_tone]

I skip arms about half the time. I'd like them to be stronger, not bigger.

 

[bignate73]

biceps....when i remember them.....

i prefer to row or pullup heavy and seem to get great results from that alone. then again i train for strength. i don't get the satisfaction from "the pump" that most do with specific training....but get the results i want from training with compound heavy movements.

go figure.

 

[Chi town]

Twice a week...on chest days. When I work my arms only once a week, they start to get soft and lose about 1/4 over a couple month's time.
