Arms
After a regular routine of 6-10 reps for 8 exrecises each, my routine was 6 sets of 6-8 reps of various execises for bi's and tri's. During this time I always used straight arms curls, dumbell curls, close grip bench presses and skull crushers. Mixed it up beyond that. 3 exercises per wokout. 2 seoconds up and 5-10 seconds on the negative - very slow. then after 4 weeks of that, I switched it t0 10-12 reps for 9 sets each, assorted exercises. 75 sec in between sets with this routine. Now I am finishing my cycle and doing 5 sets of drop sets, with 10 sec rest in between drops, then 2 min rest in between sets. An idea I got from a Charles Poliquin book. An example.
Bi's -
E-Z Curls for a set of 7-10 reps with a wide grip, drop the weight, 5-6 reps with a norrow grip, drop the weight and 5-6 reps with a reverse grip.Might go a bit longer with this routine while I learn to use proper drop weights for the best form I can.
Tri's-
Pressdowns for 7-10 rerps, drop the weight 5-6 reps with a reverse grip, drop the weight, 5-6 reps of rope pressdowns.
In the past I ahve used only 5-6 sets for months at a time, fearing over training, I may as well as chewed some gum instead, because the results were nada.
I get 6-8 hours of sleep a night. Usually 7-8, but I'm in school, working and doing an inernship, so sometimes sleep can get cut to 6 hours, but usually once or twice a week at most, bein honest with ya here. I have been on a cycle, so i've been eating 4200-4500 cal a day.
I used to admire guys with big arms and now to be hinest, I envy them to no end, but in a very negative way to be honest. I can't help but wonder as I watch them do ordinary routines, why there arms are so bog, while I bust my ass and see shit results. My attitude sucks, I'll be the first to admit, damn, WTF? I put in the effort, eating, not ever drinking (I walk in the local bar and they toss me a bottled water) and waht not. I put forth the $$ for cycles and it doesn't happen. I'm burned out and pissed off.
I'm 5'8, 198lbs (192 right now, had strep and tonsilitis this past week), 27 years old. 3 cycles. Been training more seriously last 3 years or so.
