On cycle, need help with my F***ing arms

[Citruscide]

Something that helps me get a good burn in my arms and helps get the pump up more is doing lighter weights for higher reps from time to time, rather than just hitting it heavy.

Also, a leg workout would probably help out a little, lifting heavy on your legs boosts your body's GH levels... helps growth all over.

like they say, legs are important. also i'd consider doing arms every 3/4 days instead of once a week. They are very small muslces and can handle that type of stress.

Sorry my bad..I train legs, calvs and trapz, abs also.
Mon: shoulders, good mornings, ABS, calvs
Tues: Rest
Wedns: Triceps/biceps, Forearms
Thu: Rest
Fri: Back, Hamstring(legcurl)
Sat: Chest, Legs(Squat, legpress)
Sun: Rest

I don'thave to train legs very much so I don't, they are one of my best bodyparts. I focus on heavy lifts from Squat, Bench, Dips, deadlifts.

Here is a killer arm routine imo

Dip-Cable Press Down Super Set 4 sets (what you do is do dips to failure, straight up so you are focussing on triceps, then take a 10 second break to catch your breath and pump out some more dips as many as possible, then go straight to the tricep cable press down with no rest)

Preacher Curl-Popeye Cable Curl Superset 4 sets (do a set of heavy preacher curls 5-8 reps, then go straight to popeye cable curls with no break)

Popeye curls (as I call them) consists of going to a cable machine with 2 cables (up high). Put on handles on each side (like you would for cable crosses for chest). Grab both handles and stand so there is an equal distance between you and the cable points of origin on both sides. Then position yourself so you biceps/triceps are parrallel to the group. Then just flex. It's basically like going from both arms out to a double bicep pose. Don't move at all though except hinging from your elbows. This is a really nice "finishing" bicep exercise imo. If you need more details on this let me know. Good luck bro!
