spring break is over man.....

lol jk

even on AS you need time to rest. ill be doing 1 body part once a week.. just remember you use your bi's in back movements as well..

Depends on the person really. I can hit my bi's twice a week sometimes, but usually I hit them only once a week. I do them a little bit after back on tuesday, then bomb them by themselves on saturday. As long as you're fully recovered you can work them as often as you like, but usually that's 2x per week at most for most people. I usually judge it this way: If my bi's get sore, I won't work them till the soreness has been gone for a full day. If I work them saturday and they get sore sunday, the day AFTER they feel normal again is the soonest I'll work 'em.

For nearly 99% of the gym training world, the key to bigger bicepts is in increasing the big lifts like deads, squats, presses, and rows. These drive long term progress and major mass increases. If there was some magic combination or amount of isolation work the noddle arms curling in the mirrors and using the power rack to hold their curl bars would have certainly lucked into it by this point. Direct arm work basically fluffs out and incrementally develops the base one already has. As for increasing the base, that is done with the big lifts, even the ones that seemingly don't involve arms like the squat. Put 100lbs on your squat and dead and 50lbs on your rows and presses - you will find bigger guns.

When your on gear you can hit you bi's twice week as long a you get plenty of recovery time. I say 2-3 days. I used to hit bis mondays and fridays. You really don't have to do alot of sets or reps bc its such a small muscle group and they get hit pretty good when you do back also.

I agree with this. Too many people go in and try all kinds of stupid arm routines, including curls in the squat rack, but neglect leg and back training.

I usually train each body part once every 7 days, however I'm about shift gears and train each body part every 5 days and I wouldn't doing any more than that for growth....of course the more often you train, your diet and amount of sleep becomes of even greater importantance.....when it comes to training arms....remember your arms are the secondary muscle being trained with back....so if you are training arms twice per week in actuality, you are training them 3 times a week and if you are training back twice per week, you are training arms 4 times per week....unless you do like me....where I always train the secondary muscle with the large muscle.....meaning triceps with chest and biceps with back..............so if I do 9 sets total for the back, I'll finish arms with 2 barbell sets and 2 hammer curl sets and call it a day.....

I agree I think you should only go once a week...Rest is very important. You figure you are only in the gym an hour or so a day, the rest of the time you are eating and sleeping......

I've always found it amusing the types of training that everyone does. And most of the routines work. Just goes to show you that this game is all genetics. You find what works for you and you do it. The stupidest routine I've ever seen had the guy training each bodypart 3 times a week! And he was natural . He had a better physique than 99% of us...go figure. Obviously he would have done much better if he were not overtraining, but how do you tell a guy who looks like he does, that he's training all wrong?
