How often can i workout Biceps while on steroids?

[BionicBC]

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.

if you want to put on some mass in a relatively short period of time, you should try a 5 x 5 program for your bi's (and any other body part that's lagging.)

True that!

So many different routines because we all have so many different genetics. You have to experiment on yourself. One of the keys that work for everyone is VARIETY. And just a few people give importance to that. If you do the same routine week after week, you are hitting the same part of the muscle evey week. If you do the same muscle twice a week but with the same routine, you are maybe overtraining the muscle in the same area. But if you train a muscle twice a week with different excercises, you can do one heavy session and the next one heavy again using different excercises and you'll get growth in the whole muscle. With time, that gives you that old skewl wide chests, wide arms, ripped and built back.

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.

This is so true it can't be said enough. Way, way too many people only do the exercizes they like to do. Bench, militaries, curls, tricep pressdowns...Hello, do you have a back and legs? And what is with all the iso stuff? Set after set of concentrations instead of a good compound move like close grip chins.

This is even more pronouced for the guys using gear that neglect entire bodyparts. Big upperbodies with legs that look like they can't hold them up. Clowns.

It is not that hard to set up a full body split routine and stick with it. YOU MUSH EMBRACE THE SQUAT!!!

I don't agree with that. I've done the same routine for years. Same exercises, same amount of sets, etc. I make continual progress. The only thing that changes is when I'm on, I'll train each bodypart more frequently and add more sets. Other than that, it's the same. Once you find what works for you, you should stick with it. Look at Ronnie. I don't think you'd find very many people that would make any progress with his routine. He's been doing the same routine since he was 12! Has he made progress? Yeah...

Lol, what's his routine?

12 months of testosterone?

You can't look at AAS to compare if a routine works or not. I use AAS, but there's no way in hell I could make progress on his routine. I make the best progress training each bodypart once ever 6 days when on and once a week when off.
Ronnie trains 6 days a week. He trains each bodypart twice a week. He takes Sundays off.

I saw some clown do the jerry's kid version of curls in the gym yesterday. I don't know wtf was going on. His arms were curling out to the side and up, then made a right turn. It was funny. I was waiting for him to tear a ligament.

You see less and less ppl doing deadlifts of any kind and also basic barbell rows.

Men's Health and magazines like it, are ruining training. They promote all kinds of stupid shit. Now kids don't even know how to train. They stay away from the squat rack and don't know anything about deads and rows. It's a shame. It's another reason that they point to us and say "if I used steroids I could look like him too..."
