I have taken about 2 weeks off from having an isolated arm day. I have just thrown in a couple of exercises here and there during back day or chest day. Anyone know of an arm routine that will really destroy them. I want to hit every type of fiber and basically want them to feel like jello the next day =)

Thanx everybody!

If you really emphasize the eccentric part of every exersize that will really tear em to shreds

its hard to mess up an arm routine....db curls, preachers, and rope cable hammers keep me full and pumped.....v pushdowns, single arm pulldowns, and close grip bench finish the tri's

Haha thanx guys! Coincidently I get these new posts on my arms day. I know its hard to go wrong on arms, I've hit so many differebt rountines. I posted this to see how others like runnning arms. I should mention my goal though...my arms are very thick. I want that nice bicep arch when I flex. Mine is so rounded.

......Or finish your routine with 7's.
Set the cables for curls at the heaviest weight you have achieved before.....Do 7 reps then move the pin up one notch...then 7 reps again....and proceed until finished or your arms fall off. Remember not to rest in between adj weights.
Is there another name for these? They work for me

I tried 7 before for 1 or 2 sets and it cooked...
How many sets of 7s (I count 21 reps as 1 set) do you do?

I usually start close to the heaviest weight....do 7 reps there and move it up (10 less lbs) then 7 more and so on till I get to 10 lbs which is harder than you think. A buddy helping you with the pin movement is always a plus. So....its just 1 long set I guess.

That sounds intense! I have always been a fan of drop sets for arms...really kills them. What kind of bar do you use for the cable curls?

I use the bent bar...my wrists kill with the straight. I want someone to try this out and see if this works for others too.

That's right Aaron...its a finishing move for bicep day!
When agmatine or hemavol is involved, you end up with a full ripped to the max set of arms and hoses for veins....enjoy!

Weighted reverse pullups + weighted dips x 3

Lying tricep extension + one arm concentration curls x 3

Overhead cable curls + rope extensions x 3

Routine takes about 30 minutes but it will be all you want...

Reverse pull ups = chin ups?

Yes but @ least a shoulder width grip. Same width as lat pullups only reversed..
If you want to hot the biceps more wouldn't you not hold it shoulder width? To hit biceps you would hold your reversed grip on the inside (close grip) of the pullup bar. If you hold a reverse grip on a shoulder width grip you would be hitting the lower lats and the 2ndary muscle biceps

Ur gonna recruit some lat either way. Like you said the grip just varies where it hits the bi. I like to hang between each rep for stretch and go slow on the negatives. My lats really don't start trying to assist til I get to the top of the contraction with this grip. It works kinda like a barbell wide grip curl except that a pullup prevents you from swinging back to get the weight up. You can also concentrate more on the negative than so with a barbell with heavy weight on it. I don't have access to spotter to help on negs, and those are important in puting size on biceps.

For me the biggest trick I've picked up lately has been time under tension. The difference between busting out 12 reps in 24 seconds or 12 reps in 48 seconds makes a huge difference for me in terms of the pump and DOMS.

Try a 2020 (2 second contraction, no squeeze at the top, 2 seconds down, no pause at the bottom) and then a 2030 with a manageable weight and you'll get what I'm poking at. Being that "present" throughout each rep really helps with mind-muscle focus as well! Give it a shot.
