Working your arms twice a week..good or bad?

[Landroid]

Hey fellas

I just wanted to hear your guys opinion on whether any of you work your arms twice a week. I currently work my arms once a week. Some of my fellas in the weightroom work their arms twice a week and they make my arms look like pea-shooters. I would think that training them twice a week would overtrain them majorly. Give me your opinions or experiences. Thanks guys.

it really depends
if your eating enough and sleeping enough
then you can get away with training muscles more then once a week
I personally wouldn't train large muscles in a bodybuilding training style more then 1x per week
but I have made gains working smaller muscles 2x a week yes

Smaller muscles (like arms) recuperate quicker than larger muscles, so can be benefitially worked more frequently.

Biceps, for example, are the fastest muscle to recup (48 hrs I think). So, if you wanted to train them twice a week, provided you are eating and sleeping properly, and you space the workouts far enough apart, I'm sure you'd be fine. Personally, on occasion I will do bis or tris twice a week because I feel that my arms need more work than anything else.

There are a lot of factors, basically what KANE-FAN suggested..

probably okay.

I've benched 4-5x week with success. Anything'll just about work if you manage things properly.

Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't.

I've gotten good results from both once and twice a week arm training.

Mannnnn, in offseason football we lift weights 3 times a week and run 2. Don't beleive me. We had 6 guys sign to play college football and others could but wanted to play baseball. We were also undefeated in powerlifting this year and had 4 guys go to state. We are a 3a team and go far in the football playoffs.
P.S. One of the powerlifting meets was a 5a meet and we still won!

I train arms directly once per week. I train 3x a week (m/w/f) or (t/thur/sat), and I focus mainly on the big lifts.

I train my arms 3x a week. HST routine. 1 set a day.
