Arm Routine - Sunday, October 18, 2009 11:43 PM ( #1 )
Hi Guys,
 
If I am trying to get bigger arms, would this routine suit the goal. I am only doing it once a week and get through it in about 35minutes
 
1. Tricep Rope Extentions 4x10-12
2. Reverse Curls               3x10-12
3. Skull Crushers              3x10-12
4. Alternate DB Curls        3x10-12
5. Hammer Curls               3x10-12
 
I lack a lot of mass on my forearms, so I have included 2 exercises that target them. 1 specific bicep curl and 2x tricep exercises. I do this workout the day after my legs day.
 
Any feedback good,
MVP

lol man arm "routines" don't build good arms. you'll need to just stick to compound movements and progressive resistance. stick with your heavy rows, chins, benches, dips, and maybe add in some curls and skull crushers and that's all you need.

you won't increase arm circumference however without gaining overall weight so youll need gain weight. it's a general rule of thumb that you gain 1 inch on your arms every 15 pounds you gain, arm movements alone won't do that, you'll need to gain weight all over through training your whole body.

agreed. Those close grip benches and rows will add some mass to your arms, or so I hear as im still a scrawny guy with 15.5 inch arms.

Good Advice Fellas. Deadlifts, Bench Press, Pull Overs, Presses should do the work. I might still sneck in a cheeky curl just to isolate the bicep.
