I'm cutting and am focusing on slow contracted reps, usually heavy to moderate weight.

if u have a lacking part in part of your arms , like a head in your tricep, would it be better to hit that part more, or since your already into dieting is it to late to bring that part out

Can't hurt to target the weakness, regardless if you're dieting or not.

It doesn't matter.... If anything it would be best for him to go high volume high reps with minmal rest. His goal is to burn fat. Not much change will occur in the size of his arms over the course of his cut unless of course he is using anabolics with it.

No I believe that some of the best "gains" come from dieting, improving the psych since you actually get to see the transformation, start hitting it hard, low and high reps, really contracting it, and flexing between sets, burning it out, never to late to improve unless your 2 weeks out....err Arvilla is this you? haha

Train them as you would normaly do- hard and heavy as possible while making sure you avoid injury. The dieting and cardio will take care of the cuts, the primary object during a precontest phase is to hold onto muscle hence it is very important to train as heavy as you can. It is a very common error to change routines during the last 12 weeks prior to a show in the misguided belief that you need to do more reps/sets. Let the weights look after the muscle and the Diet/Cardio look after the cuts.

If you don't know how to train arms then you probably shouldn't be doing a contest. Thats just my opinion. Good luck though.

Moderate weight, 16-20 sets for larger bodyparts, 12-16 sets for smaller bodyparts.

3 excersises, 2   50 rep drop sets for each exercise will get last bit of glycogen out.

Go heavy for the first few sets (6-8 reps) then for your last set, do a drop & go to absolute failure. :)

Never lift until muscle failure.  Stay at least 5 reps away from failure.
Even better: Don't start the set.

u wanna go for the feel in every muscle group when your not far out, forgett about weight and just make sure your gettn a full contraction and smooth reps.... you can always put somthing in your arms the night before or on the day if you think there lacking, im not takin synthol,,, we use noltol in uk, similar to escilene...

Try some Stanazol,(winstrol)and some dianabol for enormous pumps, small amounts 50mg tablet form 25mgto 50mg for the dianabol pretty mild cycle for cutting and hold on to some of your gains.
Moral of the story, hit it till failure...  
the Stanzol will not do much but retain some of your gains the dianabol will help you engorge your muscles with good pump the dosages are per day nder 98 is right hit them to failure. This is what i do at an end of a cycle with post therapy when i stop taking the other roids, therapy includes HCG,Arimidex or Nova.The cycle i found for me helped me retain about 15 pounds from 45 pounds of pure muscle during the end of a 6 month cycle.

Noltol can you explain what this is thanks,this cycle i gave would not even hurt my grandmother.I do anadrol but this can be a pain in the ass without post cycle therapy you risk gyno and the gains are mostly water and zits.
