stuck ?

[t3c]

I've been working out for a few months now and have see gains in size and strength but my arms aren't so great...

my arm workout consists of:

bicep curls on the e-z curl bar 10x 8x 6x (increase by 5 pounds each time)

hammer curls 10x 8x 6x

reverse curls 10x 8x 6x

close grip bench 10x 8x 6x

dips 10x 8x 6x

I can only curl about 50 pounds and i feel like i am stuck, my arms are so small!

please help me!

your gonna get one of two replies on this board for your question.
It will be either to start doing deadlifts, squatting or Both.

thats just part of my arm workout on a certain day, its not my WHOLE workout, just an excerpt that shows what i do for my arms.

I just started doing squats 2 weeks ago, but i would love to learn exactly how to deadlift

thanks in advance

If you have been doing the same arm workout for a few monthes it about time that you changed it aroung, dontcha think?!!

The muscle start to get used to the same activity and you are not shocking them anymore so they don't grow.

Try changing your routine and see if that helps along with squats, deads, pull-ups, and other exercises.

jus' my opinion...

cool thanks, anyone have a link or maybe pictures of a proper deadlift technique...i think i have a good idea about how to do it but i don't want to do it with a bad technique

Maybe I´m a little slow. What exactly do you want help with?

I personally like to mix up my arm workout with a set of 21's every now and then. You familiar with these t3c? 7 halfway up, 7 halfway down and 7 full reps all in one set. Something different...

You could try something like a rest pause system like this

take your 7 rep poundage do 7 reps, rack the weight for 20 seconds, then do 5 reps, rack it again for 20 second then do 3 reps. Do 3 sets like this.

That or try incorporating some drop and triple drop sets.

yeah dude switch up the routine. i saw nothing mentioned of barbell curls, incline db curls, weighted chins, concentrations ... hit it up hard
