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

i disagree
i train very heavy compounds and my arms didnt start to grow until i added lighter iso movements
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

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?

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.

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.

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.

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....

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.
