OK PEOPLE THIS IS HOW IT IS DONE!!!

[slaveboy1980]

That's an interesting variation which I might use. For now I go to failure on all work sets. I take the weekend off now so that gives me plenty of time to recoup.

ok i dont think you will last long on such high volume and failure training.....i think such a split can be good if failure is avoided and  volume is kept high.

also regarding 5 split: i recommend this

quads, chest, back, rest, shoulders+hams, arms, rest, legs etc...

I may try that someday but for now I feel like this split is working.

good, dont be afraid of volume, focus on each muscle group and really pump it with volume..thats the good thing with such a bodypart split..you can overload the muscle with alot of volume and pump. blood volume baby, blood volume and focused energy. i been doing the split i wrote in the other post for last few weeks it has worked well, but you have to make changes every couple of months.

Yeah I noticed ever since I picked up the pace, I have been getting these killer pumps.

Pussy weights and pussy reps,its sucks being you Fagexxx

good imagine the body part your training big as a mountain..and pump the up volume keep it  high 20-25 sets..do like sergio and arnold did real high volume..altho in my opinion you should avoid failure and doing muscle groups 2-3 times a week with such volume (so once a week with such high volume is enough, as you do now). working body parts can be done 2-3 times a week but volume must be lowered then of course.

Do your close grips on a decline and your arms will explode. My arms went from 18 to 19.5 when I started doing them that way, no shit.

I dont doubt what  groink said, i am just curious as to what difference these make to how the exercise effects ur triceps?? I am willing to try it though!!

Are you saying that Arnold and Sergio didn't go to failure that often? Cause I am pretty sure they did..

Arnold didnt really, sergio did, especially wen he trained low volume.

By failure I mean that he cannot complete another rep by himself.

no no..they did go to failure regularly (not always tho) .im just saying do high volume like they did but avoid failure...works better.

If you don't go to failure then you are not training as hard as you should. Take a look at Jay Cutler and see for yourself.

Wheather or not u train to failure every set makes no difference, your load isnt heavy enough to illicit enough muscle damage

[slaveboy1980]

yeah,gutler looks shit but he doesnt go to failure all the time and he got big..altho im not sure he is the best example as he is on more medicins than a belgian blue cow.

[Palpatine Q]

did they go from 18 to 19.5 or to 20?? good lord my friends,,,good lord,,,even on hormones your arms dont go that fast 1.5 inches,,do you know what 1.5 inches of muscle is??

i LOVE to read this board

I'm talking over the course of about six months. My arms were 18 and basically staying that way, until I was farting around one day decided to try my close grips on the decline. My triceps grew like a fucking weed. Laugh all you want those are my guns in the pic and I'm 100% natty

You can use more weight and the exercise becomes more like a triceps pushdown.  Plus you can get a nice lockout at the top, which increases size on the long head.  Flat closegrips tend to bring the delts and chest into the exercise.  Declines isolate the tris.
