how often can i work my biceps,i currently do once a week

There's various thoughts on this, normally once a week if off cycle but twice should be OK if on but leave 3 days in between for recovery.

Don't forget that your arms will always get plenty of punishment when doing upper body.

nah, only once per week if that. I dont train biceps atall, they get hammered when i do back...

Nah, think you'd take me on arms mate, ill give you that, but ill send you crying when it comes to back, legs and cock... ;)

Once a week. You could do like a standing bar curl and a hammer curl with dumbbells. That would be fine. More is not better.

You're both pussies when it comes to arms, I'll beat you both, arms down

, but on a more serious note, why the fcuk was this in the ladies section???

right panthro i take ur advice on arms and dopn't train them except heavy curls 2 sets a week on back day
but someone mentioned doing preacher and supersettting with hammers instead of rest>
i think it was miami
would you still recommend i just don't hit them except with the curls?

Panthro · 04-04-2004, 01:45 PM

keep what you are doing for now mate, and then change it in 6-8 weeks...

It's easy to get obsessed with just one bodypart, remember that it's the BIG exercises (Bench, Squat, Deadlift) that makes the whole body grow.........

Exactly!!! It makes me laugh when people dedicate a whole day to arms... but dont train legs!!! lmao! Everyone is so bothered about biceps.... but remember, triceps make up 2/3 of the arm so if you are that bothered about arms, you need to spend more time on your tris!!

I love it coz i dont train biceps and my arms are much bigger than all the pretty BBC (Bench and Bicep Crew) boys at my gym and you cant say its genetics... uve seen my before pics! lol

Jock · 04-04-2004, 05:53 PM

Too right mate, it seems in my gym no-one trains their lower body.

Sometimes I think I am the only one who uses the squat rack, a lot of guys have average physiques even though they have done buckets of roids and trained for years!!

04-04-2004, 06:06 PM

What are you trying to say? that I dedicate my time in the gym to building my arms?

, nah, I just do my all my exercises evenly and go home. And yeah, your tris are what makes your arms bigger, not your biceps, biceps just make your arms look good.

Hehehe lol
