Giant sets for arms

[Dosekel]

Any of you guys do giant sets for arms?

If so, what does it look likes, and how much time are you resting between each exercises and between each sets?

I hear working them twice a week is best. Not at super high intensity.

Yeah i do

chest-tri
legs
back-bi
off
shoulders-abs/lowerback
arms
off
repeat

but as a giant set i mean like 4-6 exercises back to back

something like skullcrushers, barbell curl, decline db skullcruchers, 1hand cable bicep curl, 1hand triceps ext

with like a kind of rest between each im just wondering how those are done.

Yeah i do
.

Personally find those kind of isolation movements completely useless unless you're trying to "cut-out" the shape of said biceps/triceps


If you want to add mass to arms, stick to things like; underhand bent-over barbell rows and pull ups for biceps
close grip barbell bench press and dips for triceps


But I guess if you really want to, you can try what you were talking about sometime for a pump

You may want to add a second off day after your arm day since hitting your triceps, then hitting them again with chest 48 hours may be too much. Experiment. My program is similar to this and I found it better to have two days off between the end (arms) and the beginning (chest).

completely agree with this.. i used to have a separate arm day at one point and even when i did chest/tri day and a back/ bi day id do as many sets for my bis/tris as i would for my chest/ back... sense then i focus more on compound movements and do mostly all back/ chest and maybe do 2 iso movements for arms at the end and has worked much better for me. Im sure some people will benefit greatly from more iso arm training and if you are lacking their than I can understand the urge to do so but ya.. keep in mind any pull movement works bi's and any push (chest or shoulders) works tris if you are doing a full range of motion.
