I only work my biceps and triceps once a week?? is this enough

[good_fella]

I work my triceps on wednesday and my biceps on thursday and i only do every body part once a week is this ok or should i look for twice a week?

[crunchfit]

Directly? Yes.

They are also being worked when you work chest or back.

[piszczel]

You can train your bis and tris directly twice a week. They're a small muscle group so they recover fast.

I train directly 3 times per week at the moment, but only 1 work set per workout.

no it's not enough, biceps and triceps are very small muscels and they should be done 2times a week. training should be short and intense (10sets at most)

I think you can get away with just working it once each week, but I don't know how I feel about a "biceps day". What is your split?

[BandApart]

once a week is definitely enough for any muscle group

[Oroborus]

I only do bis and tris directly once a week. It's OK, as long as you press and row heavy your tris and bis will get enough "accessory" work

no.

It's enough, but you can do more.

Abs can be worked pretty much everyday, same with calves.
You can squat 4-5 times a week comfortably.
No problem with training arms 2 times a week.

Stop generalising, if you can get more out of your body, you should.

[BandApart]

no.

yes. more training doesnt equal more growth, if u work them hard once a week along with them getting hit from compound exercises, once should be plenty of stimulation. then u have to give them time to grow.

not that there is a completely right and wrong answer here anyway.

yes, u can squat 4-5x a week, but im talking about size training, not strength training. if u want to add size, u need to give ur body time to recover........

and this forum is all about generalizations, when everybody is different, there is no way that what u say can be true for everyone. for the majority of people 1x a week should be plenty for size training.

and no muscle should be worked everyday, that is stupid. abs/calves may recover a bit faster, that doesnt mean they dont need any rest........id say 2x a week on abs/calves is unnescessary but fine once a week for everything else.

size training, not strength

thanks guys im going to adjust my schedule to work them twice a week

what is your routine at the moment? if your not working triceps on directly on chest day so you have an arm day then in fact you are already working your arms twice a week

[TheGr8S1]

yeah, but people are so misguided on tricep workouts

[Domstar104]

from my own experience i do arms once a week cause there still sore 4 days after at least

[FMCMuscle]

No one here can answer but yourself. Are you seeing good growth? If so then it works..if not, then obviously you should work in another day for them.
