I find for biceps heavy to medium is ok but for triceps works better with slightly lighter weights.

9 to 12 sets once a week for me, all depends, I would never work bi's more then twice a week.

it depends on your muscles ability to recover!!.. i believe it's better and more effective to train each part once a week but again see what works better for you..

I go light weight/low volume for arms, and my training seems to be very sporadic these days.

I should clarify.

For example, with tris i start with  a cable exercise, so i stick to higher reps. Then move onto close grips, which i go a lower reps on, the dips, which is the same as close grips.

I stick to somewhat higher reps with biceps as i injured my bicep a while ago, so lighter feels a bit better. Though i keep the reps fairly low with hammers, everything is else is 8-12 for bi's.

Deads. Bit too heavy, wanted to get the last rep and kinda bent my right arm just a bit which was enough to strain my bicep. Wasn't too bad, but hurt it again a few days later when i was helping someone move a table.

j/k, i keep the reps lower on most exercises, though right now i have been keeping them in the 10-12 range. I always use high reps for legs.

just vary it.
heavy with everything is not good and light is also not good.
just make sure you train one excersize for a bodypart at least heavy, keep the pressing movements heavy.
id rather avoid injuries. training smart is the key word.

9 sets.

the exersices that have the potential to go heavy, do them heavy, the tha same for light ones.

exactly, thats why i avoid going heavy with side laterials, i just do them with good form and keep the pressing movements heavy as possible.

Once a week. Moderate weight. Reps in the 10-15 range. Like Titus' BLOOD-VOLUME style.
