arm routine

Devinm Posts: 270 Joined: 2006/06/01	2006/06/11, 01:21 AM I workout 5 times a week, I do a different muscles everyday, and my workouts take between 1 and 1.5 hours. I read the magazine FLEX so I follow the routines in it. Over a one year period I added about 35 pounds of muscle. The only thing is that my arms dont seen to be growing as much as my other muscles are growing. Can somebody please give me an arm routine that works??? -------------- Veni,Vidi,Vici.= I came, I saw, I conquered.- Ceasar

I will tell you this, however, if you've been tryin to do bicep curls and tri extensions all the time, try doin some weighted chin ups and dips, and your arms WILL grow. -------------- I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is the moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle-victorious. --Vince Lombardi "Decide what you want, decide what you are willing to exchange for it.

	2006/06/11, 01:37 PM Flex=toilet paper quality ... I would do heavy chin ups/pull ups and partials for the top 1/3....do sternup chin ups/pull ups and restrict ROM to top 1/3....will do wonders in the 3-8 range..... Dips, Close Grip Bench, /\ pushdowns on pulldown station, rack lockouts, etc are great tricep exercises.... I havent done curls in a while and my arms actually got stronger last time I did a set of curls.... 35lb in one year gain is very impressive though very difficult on the body.... You may want to also increase intensity of your workouts and cut down the frequency....3 days a week instead of 5....be more effecient... what does your training look like?

Ever since Flex started using that mid-quality photo paper its hardely been suitable for wiping my ass with. If I had to guess, I would say this was the original posters first year of training. In which case, I would say dragging bricks would have built muscle. -------------- Iron and chalk. Pain is only temporary, it is in your mind. If you can still walk, then you can still run.
	2006/06/12, 05:34 AM my apologies .....LOL....I was more referring to its content....the paper is actually good...nice and glossy....tho not very good for wiping one's butt as u pointed out...in which case it's useless...

Just lay out all the advertisements (about half the mag) and the dog can't go wrong. -------------- I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is the moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle-victorious. --Vince Lombardi "Decide what you want, decide what you are willing to exchange for it.

arondaballer Posts: 1,054 Joined: 2003/06/14	2006/06/13, 03:50 PM Yes, I love the paper machete. As you can see, my expertise goes far beyond powerlifting. lol -------------- I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is the moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle-victorious. --Vince Lombardi "Decide what you want, decide what you are willing to exchange for it.

wrestler125 Posts: 4,619 Joined: 2004/01/27	2006/06/13, 06:18 PM ha ha. I love it. And as you can see Aaron, your average powerlifter can do much more than squat and pull.
