Arm Day - Monday, January 30, 2006 9:58 AM
I have decided I want an arm day, as I am making little progress on my arms, but progress everywhere else.
Where do I fit it?  Here is my current schedule:
Monday= Chest/Triceps
Wednesday= Legs/Shoulders
Friday= Back/Biceps.
 
I would really like a day where I could do both triceps and biceps, and do only those, as my chest, back, and legs are huge and my arms are tiny.

you should super set your arms
do bi's and tri's on the same day
also whats your exercise routine specificly
what exercises do you do?
do your bicept and tricepts look evenly sized?

Ive seen that sort of routine before.  Is it a good idea to have bench press and deadlift on the same day?  Its an interesting idea.  Anyone else have ideas on how to work in an arm day?  Id like to be able to focus on my arms, since they are the weakest part of my physique.

RE: Arm Day - Monday, January 30, 2006 12:34 PM
honestly my routine is
 
day1
arms(bicepts,tricepts,forearm)
 
day2
chest,back,shoulders
 
day3
legs,calfs
 
 
i do 2 bodyparts and rotate between them and rotating exercises
 
eg:
day1
bicepts,tricepts
 
hammercurls,kickbacks,concentrated curls,tricept pulldowns,preacher curls,skull crushers
2 muscle groups 3 exercises each
 
next time i do arms ill do more for forearms
like forearm curls,reverse curls,reverse forarm curls,and do tricepts
 
same with chest,back,shoulders
i'll pick two muscle groups do 3 exercises for each
like chest and back
next time ill do back and shoulders
 
super sets are great and youll love the pumps
especially those arms!!
try it once i bet youll never go back to your old routine

try training your arms twice a week. If you cannot devote time twice a week for arms entirely, try to incorporate this variation into your workout if you haven't already-
 
chest and biceps
back and triceps (i mean upper back primarily)
 
when you work your chest, you are also working your tricep's. and so by doing chest w/ bi's,  you work your chest, biceps and triceps.
 
Same goes for back with triceps- when you work your back, you are also working your bi's. Add in triceps, and you have a complete arm workout.
 
Plus for somereason, my bi's feel more pupmed when I do my chest workout. dunno why, but i try to take advantage of it.

Benching on same day as deadlifting would be a huge CNS drain

doing arms then doing exersises that incorperate the muscles you just blasted the day before will hamper growth on your arms and hamper your ability in chest and back, because chest and back use tricept and bicept as the secondary mover.
