Re: Bicep overtraining

What do you guys think about the ebicep.com routines? I do biceps with chest and triceps with back and keep a 72 hour gap in between.

Don't they call it "vanity" or something? What I don't like about that is your body becomes disproportionate. Muscles want to be balanced and worked in synergy. That said, some dudes do very little of the lower body but still look great and in proportion to the rest of the body. You really need to asses your body first (over time). EVERYBODY is unique. Once you know where you are a slow gainer, as it were, you will be in a better position to decide which areas of your body to pay particular attention to.

Hope that helps,

alternating dumbell curls
preacher ez bar curls
barbell curls
hammer curls
another variation of dumbell curls

I didn't count the sets or anything but it must have been at least 2 sets of each.

Surely this must be extreme overtraining, no?

I do more sets than that for biceps. I usually do 7 exercises with a minimum of 3 sets each. I have found this works for me: I have 19.5" arms at 5'7.

Depends on the person and if they are "assisted" or not.

I'm about 10 -11% at the mo and on a cut, so hopefully I'll be about 6-7 for summer.

Yeah I do high numbers of exercises/sets for all muscle groups - for example chest:

Incline press x 4
Flat press x 4
decline press x 2
Incline Flye x 3
Machine Flye x 3
Weighted Dips x 3
Cable Cross overs x 3

For back I'd usually do 8 exercises, shoulders (including traps) 10 exercises, legs (excluding calfs) 8 exercises and triceps 7 exercises - all with either 3 or 4 sets.

Most people say I overtrain but i feel this is best for me, over the last 8 years I've tried a lot of training combos and have settled on this. I go to the gym 6 days a week and don't feel fatigued and am still growing but i will change it when I'm not pleased with the results.
