I did a leg workout yesterday - squats, leg press, deadlift, leg curls and calf raises, along with some ab work. In this time I noted that another lad, who has a pretty impressive physique by the way, did 5 different bicep exercises:

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?

Nytol

About 8 sets more than I do.

Sounds like a boring way to spend his time.....he should get a gf.

It's all relative mate. If he's natural, then yes, you'd think so, but everybody's different.

If he's on gear, he's got a greater chance for recovery, but it's still an over-kill IMO. You wouldn't catch me doing that much TBH. I do about 2 sets a week (sometimes I forget) & mine are slowly growing. People forget that your biceps get a huge amount of work when you train your back.

Even squats help your arms. Squats help EVERYTHING.

Sounds like he would only get two and do alternating girlfriend curls

dmcc

Like Chris said, horses for courses. I do a total of 6x8 and there's people that would say that's too much.

theres a guy at my gym like this though he only eva trains chest and arms and very occasionally back but neva lower body

I'm not even bothering to train mine specifically atm, they're getting enough from the pull exercises I'm doing as it is.

God knows how he's got such a decent physique from destroying them as much. It's a funny old game.

Chrisj22 - I've been wondering if he's doing gear for a while but didn't want to be too presumptious, but it makes you wonder.

Pez - sounds just like him.

I remember when I went to a seminar at a gym last year when Lee Priest was there & someone asked him ''How do you recommend training arms, Lee?'', to which he replied ''I recommend to do 20 plus sets for arm growth''.....

I think he forgot all his spectators weren't IFBB Pro's....

personally I do 15-18 sets of bi's and the same for tri's, but I do a day on each and rarely train them together.....
I know a lot of people say it's overtraining, but my bi's were 19.5 last time I measured so it works for me.

i train bis twice a week ;) between 6-10 sets each time, works well for me

shorty

Tossing off 15 times a day has got my right bicep massive.... any suggestions to getting the left one to grow??

enanthate

Hey shorty I got the same damn problem. My right bi is slightly bigger than my left. I think its because my right arm is dominate. Your actually aloud to train bi's every 48 hours. Its such a small muscle group it takes almost no time at all to recover, especially if your on gear and take glutamine.

Right now I'm only doing EZ bar curls. Three routines and I'm done with a very nice pump. I think training biceps with DB's are more for cutting as training with a BB is more for mass.

4 sets of 6-8 outside grip - Heavy
4 sets 6-8 inside grip - Heavy
3 sets of 10 reverse grip - Light

DONE. Give it a try.

Dont wanna hijack the thread but whats working for you guys for triceps? I'm looking for a mass routine right now and I'm on gear, test enanthate.

I train Bi's with chest one week and then back the following week,i do 3 set excersie's start with 10/8/6 x3
I enjoy doing Bi's
