"arms only days" seem impractical to implement in the rest of your split

[noxplode]

somehow the arms are still somewhat shot all the time from other workouts


or oppositely


a hard arm day will cause the other workouts to suffer also

[Hulkotron]

These are the tribulations that the successful bodybuilder must work solutions too yes.

[Irongrip400]

I can't remember the last time I did bi's. I do triceps, but bi's seem to get a workout with back. I actually hate doing them.

[SF1900]

Not if you spread your work outs in the correct way. I work arms alone.

Send Analbolichio a PM, he is the arm building expert around here.

Idiot.

[Hulkotron]

I remember reading a Flex magazine where they said the secret to growing triceps was to "give triceps their own day" oh brother.

An ongoing dilema...probably why they came up with the double split....
Double split would work if you have no other life what so ever 

So on a 'push' day I guess you could hit chest in the morning and delts/tri's later that night
'Pull'day..... back in the morn and bi's/traps at night....pull your chain before bed .
Just a couple examples...endless combinations.
If your bulking and don't have any cardio days in there, I think its easier schedule wise....

who is that and what are his credentials

Have you not heard of him? You two would get on really well.....

He is a raging homosexual, with puny stick arms, and a high degree of retardation, plus he's a lying mudshark.

six sets bis, six sets tris

Job done.

I train back twice per week. And have an arm day all on its own once per week.

16 sets for biceps; 16 sets for triceps; 16 sets for forearms

I don't like my arms (just a smidge under 18" cold at 250lbs). They need more size so I don't spare the horses when it comes to whipping them.

[Hulkotron]

There is no such thing as overtraining there is only undereating.

I learned this from Flex as well.

You are severely overtrained cut back on your workload and your arms will grow.

[falco]

Arms first. Anything else is landscape.

[ProudVirgin69]

Chest/back
Legs
Arms/shoulders
Off


There you go

[sagittal chest]

Day 1. Arms (except deltoids, triceps)
Day 2. Off
Day 3. Chest, back, shoulders, neck, delts, tris
Day 4. Off
Day 5. Legs
Day 6, 7. Off

[ProudVirgin69]

chest + back would take an eternity

Depends...if you do dips/close grip bench for triceps, then you can get away with only doing 2-3 exercises on chest day.

Plus, each bodypart gets hit twice a week so you'll have to drop the volume of each workout down.  

[ChopperRider]

Yeah I believe that over training thing is pretty much true after all


best results seem to come from 4 days split


hitting everything once, real hard


3 days off

That's not how they do it in "Cuba"

See...I don't think so.

Since I started training this way about a year ago, my arms have gained 1/4 inch. That's a lot more results for me than I've had in a long time.

I used to powerlift, so I rarely trained arms, and that, I can tell you, did not help. The lack of stimulation didn't seem to improve the shape or size of my arms...they were as small as they'd ever been, though plenty strong.

In fact, my biceps look the best they ever have, and I'm hitting them about 3x/week if you count my back workouts. But my triceps are lagging behind...maybe I need to train them more.

I honestly don't really buy into the assertion that I'm overtraining. Sorry. I work a desk job in an office...there's no way that what I do in the gym, including my day to day life, is so stressful that I can't recuperate from it. I add in 2x/week jiu jitsu practices, and honestly, I don't think I'm anywhere close to overtraining.

When I was doing three-a-days in college and lifting in the evenings during August for training camp in football...now that was close to overtraining, but I still recuperated and got stronger and faster.

Lifting weights in a gym is, relative to training camp, a joke. If I were only eating 500 calories/day, maybe. But I eat enough.

lmao

Not sure why you're laughing little man.
I have built an incredible physique with this routine.
Literally have Arnold's chest proportions - hence 'Sagittal Chest'

I'm one of the bigger guys here and I haven't done a traditional "arm day" in years. It doesn't warrant it's own day because it doesn't produce a big enough metabolic effect due to the comparably small muscles being worked. A few sets after chest or back is sufficient.

Remember, I am one of the bigger guys here. My advices are only for the advanced physique athlete. Normal/average men will not grasp this concept.

Yep, I just chuck biceps and triceps in every now and again.
Normally
Chest tris
Back Shoulders bis
Legs

Not always like that though, sometimes shoulders and arms day depending on whos using what equipment.

That's twice in 2 days you have made a  moderately agreeable post towards me.

What's up your sleeve pal?

Maybe the smaller posters are not generating sufficient DOMS in their arms to achieve quasi-permanent inflammation of the myofascia.  This can be caused by doing curls with too much elbow support.  Vince Basile has written extensively on these topics.
