I am a person who puts on muscle very easily in every area except my biceps and triceps, i have just made a new routine and i was wondering if this was overtraining. I alwayse do 8 to ten reps and 4 sets of each exercise.
standing bb curls supersetted with cable curls, and then i add in 4 sets of incline db curls at the end. for my triceps i start with 4 sets of close grip benches, and then i superset pulley pushdowns and lying tricep extensions. so to sum it all up, is this overtraining my arms?.. Thanks very much in advance.

Is it working for you? This is the key to know if you are overtraining. Everyone has a different threshold. If you are recovering fine and growing, then you are fine. It is important to "confuse" the muscle, after you do more volume, try some various shocks. After a few weeks of that, go to a more traditional power workout. Keep changing things up. This is the biggest key to growth, and of course a diet to build with.

I think its been working for me, its actualy the first time that i have tried supersetting, but ive heard good things about it so i thought id give it a shot. When you say a power workout, what do you mean exactly? A program geared towards doing lower reps?
Thanks for the great reply.:big_smile:
