2 hours of arm training and I think i got them pumped up to 19 inches naturally :)
this is what I did:
rope pressdowns: 2 set warm ups
close grip bench: 2wus 225x9 235x6 225x6 225x5 drop to 205x4
lying french curl: 2wus 90x9 x10 x10
rope pressdowns: 80x20 90x15 100x12 110x12
dips: bwx15 bw+25 x 10 x 8 x8
barbell curl: 2 wus 95x10 115x8 125x6
hammers: 30sx15 35sx12 40x12 50x10
preachers: 32.5sx12 40sx10x8x7 superset with one arm cable rope pressdowns: 60x10 x10 x8 x8 x8
incline curls: 40s x 10 x8 x8 x8
barbell wrist curls 35x40x30x25x20 going easy
On top of that I made fun of the little pesonal trainer their. I told him that my forearms where the size of his legs.
I feel like Arnold Schwarzenegger now. :) Somebody go get me a medal or a sandow.

Arm workouts are retarded, you could be accomplishing so much doing heavy compounds rather than faggy arm exercises all day. And to do arms for 2 hrs strraight.. ::) Dumbass

I love to train and am a real man. Thats why I workout hardcore!
-

Shit how did you know tomorow was leg day? you been following me around or something. Actually i am thinking more along the lines of 20set squats. But they are already too big so I won't do those again until I need to bring them up.

i disagree
i train very heavy compounds and my arms didnt start to grow until i added lighter iso movements
-
Let me offer some breaking new's here: Two hour arm workouts are not hardcore. Two hour arm workouts are manuel labor, not smart training. You could accomplish more by digging a ditch for two hour's. True, you would have an empty hole in the ground but that would be at lease something. After your pump goes away and your back to your 15 1/2" guns, you will have nothing to show for two hours of wasted time after all.
Hardcore training, and the progressive growth that follows, can be done in 15 minutes (or less) of selected arm exercises or any other body part for that matter. That would be from 3 to7 sets max, depending on the muscle group. Good Luck.
-
How big are your arms?
Mine are 18 and my 2 training partners which are 5'10" 190pds are over 18 closer to 18 1/2 - 19.
-
No malice towards you, but: Of course you measured your gun's first thing in the morning after getting out of bed with a steel, narrow width tape. Not even brushing the teeth or squeezing your chunky monkey before measurement. Those plastic & cloth tapes tend to stretch out or shrink way too much for a true size gage. If that's your picture and you claim 18" arms than you must be seven foot tall. And what does your straight forearm measure, 17"? Try laying off working out for 2 or 3 week's and I would guess you arms get smaller in size if your just depending on the pump.
I haven't done any true direct arm work (curls or tricep exercises) in years because they grow way too much. I settle for heavy compound movements to take care of the arms. I don't know how large my arm's are and I really don't care. Good Luck with your creative writting skills.
-
I measure my arms cold. In those pics posted by CT they where 17 1/2 inches cold. But I was sick and still am but getting better. Now that I train high volume again I feel like king kong again :) I will see where this leads me. If I don't make any gains within maybe 3 months I will switch to Steve Reeves training.
-
Let's put it this way alexxx. Arnold Schwarzenegger had arms under 20' cold. Your pics depict a physique that's hardly out of the norm, that is, the average adult male. Either you truly are delusional or just some mental nut that never ceases to bust people's balls, I haven't figured it out yet. God I can't believe I'm compelled to type this out.
-
I didn't think lifting those stainless steel DB's that all the women use was considered hardcore......

First of all Arnolds arms where over 20 inches! Second I average? hahahahahahahahahaha just look at the average guy droping his mouth open on the sight of me!

is your avitar you?

yup thats me.

2 hours?? Isnt that overtraining. bis and tris are smaller muscles and easily overtrained which means no growth. Sounds like some of the guys i see at the gym and kinda do what they feel like doing. arms monday...tuesday "my arms feel really strong so ill work them again mentality". They never grow and they look the same. And if your arms are 18 mine must be 23. Mine are 18 cold and look it.
Try working them a little less with intensity and focus. A guy in my gym works like that lifts heavy weights and is small. Make sure your form is good too.
Just curious dude
-
hahahahahahahahahaha just look at the average guy droping his mouth open on the sight of me!
dude if the avitar is you i would not be saying crap like that.
you look like what i call a "joe weightlifter".
give it another 5 years of work
-
i disagree

Im not telling him to avoid direct arm work, but focusing on arms for a whole workout, much less for 2 freakin hours is dumb.
-
Isos for arms makes sense. Only brief intense workouts though.

agree
2 hrs on any part is overkill
might as well be layin' brick or digging a trench

225 close grip for 9 not believable????? Come on!? 225 x 9 is no shock unless youre new to the gym

this is comming from an avatar who thinks he has a close build to Arnold Schwarzeneger at his prime. :)
-
no, just someone who has been in a gym before...yes, i can do 225 for 9, but i am saying that if youre in a gym normally, you will see someone doing 225 close grips....its not all that impressive dipsh*t

I was referring to Alexxx, not you. Come on now.

apologies..my bad..

I am the strongest natural and best physique natural that ever lived in the making.

thats funny :o wow
I disagree with alot of people on this topic,
you all act like to have seen arnolds work outs or any other pro body builder.
well I have seen a pro KEN FLEX WHEELER he goes to my gym, he has 22 inch arms and he's 5'9
now my question is I watch this guy spend 2 hours or more on his arms and the next day a few hours on his chest.
now are you telling me you guys know more then a pro body builder that makes all of you look like prunes?
-

Arnold dwarves Flex!

I dont care who does what?
its not about a tough guy thing, Arnold also took steroids to get to were he was at.
my point is about your workout that your getting bashed on.
Ill tell you right now your arms may or may not be 18 inches but i daubt it..
i curl 225lbs with strain im 5'9 190lbs my arms are only 14 to 16 inches if im lucky but what i like about them are/ not the size but how tight they are you cant even pull the skin on my bi's and tri's.

I agree, way overtrained-- just get it done! BTW, I keep my workouts minus cardio to 45-50 minutes.
(Then I run for 20 miles)- LOL
-
Alex dude not busting your little bubble bro
but if those are your arms in that pic you need to work them out just a little bit harder.
i cant even tell were your bicep begin and were your tricep ends
maybe you should try cutting those big guns up.

Pro BB'ers know shit about training, and yes there's some people here that know a shitload more about training than most pro's. Besides, naturals and pros follow totally different routes so it doesnt make sense to compare their workouts. People on AAS grow more WITHOUT training than naturals do WITH training, maybe that should put things in persepective for you.

That sentence is false

haha, thats what you would like to think, studies have shwon it to be true!

Show me one study that shows that a person who trains with weights naturally gains less muscle than a person who is on AAS and does not train....
-
show it!!!! haider
thats funny thats why the pro's are out making money and being put in magazines.
while your at home wishing you could get to the gym and maybe one day
lift your body weight.
but of course your a pro and you know everything? NOT

HAHA, could u get any lamer dumbshit, whats with the personal attack asshole? Im sorry I hurt your feelings you pro-nut-huggin low-lifer ::)
anyway, getting back on track, as anyone should know, the pro's dont even write anything in the magazines...even if they did, they dont get paid for their 'knowledge', rather they get paid because theyre're pros, which doesnt necesasrily entail that they know mroe about training than the average bb'er..the only difference really is the juice mixed with genetics.
-

I'm trying to find it ight now but pretty much the study involved three groups. One group trains, one doesn't and takes AAS , and one trains and AASs. The ones who trained and AAS grew the most of course. But the group who took AASs and DIDNT train grew more than the group who trained and didn't.
-
AAS studies I am aware of, are ones done with sick patients who need testosterone to retain muscle. Therefore, adding testosterone can help retain muscle, but will not make you gain any....if you are not working out.

Reread my post, they are sick patients (Cancer, AIDS, etc.). I dont know of any other AAS studies out there...

I was refering back to what I posted, sorry I wsnt clear abt it.

Actually higher level of testerone make you have more muscles, without doing a damned thing.
The same thing was claimed for high protein diets,
people who eat more meat, tend to have more musclemass,
the famous era back in the 90,
eating 2 or more pound meat a day.
There could be a certain truth in it,
meat contains higher levels of animalAAS that supposed to be safe for humans.

I am the strongest natural and best physique natural that ever lived in the making.
Wrong, im natural, and alot stronget than you! I have a friend 18 years old way stronger than you! and as far as anything you say-BULL SHIT, 18 inch arms......I DONT FCKING THINK SO
-
If this guy has the best physique in the world I wonder why nobody has ever seen or heard of this guy. Alexx you dont look bad but your not a huge muscle dude and you certainly can not compare yourself to Arnold. And 18 arms I would really have to disagree.
-
if you need 2 hours to do arms, you're wasting your time. half an hour for triceps, 5-15 minutes for biceps, go home.
