| Registered User | spring arm-focus workout I'm going on a few warm-weather trips in May and really want to focus on building up my arms in the meantime. I'd really like some advice about the following workout - am I undertraining/overtraining/about right? Thanks for your help. I'm splitting up my workouts over 5 days - 2 days for full-body workouts, 2 days for just arms, and 1 day for cardio. My full-body workouts have no direct bi or tri exercises: Bench or Inclines Shoulder Press or Arnold Press Bent-over-Row Cable Cross Bunch of Ab Exercises (I temporarily am laying off legs due to an injury) My arm days consist of: Dumbbell Curls Skull Crushers Preacher Curls Tricep Extentions Cable Curls Cable Pushdowns Thanks for the help!

| on a quest to deadlift 600 | your bis and tris will get worked on your full body day ... tris on all the presses and bis on bent over rows ... so you'll actually be training your arms 4 times a week ... severe overtraining which will lead to no gains ... what about legs? ... your "full body" workout isn't exactly full body when you're leaving out half of your body this isn't the best way to go about what you want to accomplish |

So, what do you advise that I do? Go back to a more conventional split routine, and add a couple of exercises to the areas I'm interested in really working? | |

| on a quest to deadlift 600 | oh i'm sorry completely missed the leg injury i have to disagree about not being able to get a good workout full body ... DC's workouts are close to full body in the sense that you work multiple body parts each day (chest back shoulders / legs arms) ... i think its POSSIBLE to get a good workout in that's full body although splitting it in at least two would certainly be better |
