How many sets do you do for arms?

[Griz1]

Thats pretty low volume, how often do you hit them?

Now ask him how much weight is on the bar...

turn the volume down on your comp before viewing the video! almost blew me across the room.

You call that low volume? I do 9 sets up to 12 for biceps and the same for triceps and thought that was high(reps between 4-10)

 

[Warpath]

I've been doing at least 14-16 sets for bis and the same for tris, that could explain why they've been lagging compared to the rest of me though. I'm gonna cut it down to 10 and see if I get any growth out of that.

Needsize has the right idea. For one, your tricep movements should encompass more as it is a larger muscle group than Bis. Second and most important w/ arm training, its not volume, but quality. Throwing up Bbel curls that work your lower back more than your arms do crap for developement. !-2 heavy compound movements and 1-2 isolation movements. Peace

Biceps

3x Barbell Curls

Triceps

3x Dips

for biceps, one set of barbell curls one day, hammer curls the other, and incline dumbell curls

for triceps, cg bench on first triceps day, revers grip bench on the next tri day, skull crushers (DC training)
