    Arms Lagging Thinking about adding an extra arm day

    My arms are lagging behind i think big time. They are 15inchs relaxed and 16.5 flexed. I'm 6,1 and 98kg. Diet is on point and I have grown on my last bulk cycle chest went from 43inch to 44. Shoulders are bigger so are quads and calves. Strength has gone up in arms as I'm curling 52.5kg with good form for 6 reps my pb. Currently doing fst 7 for arms 6 heavy sets 7 light to prime pump. Do you think it would be over training if I added in another arm day.

    Here's my current routine

    Chest
    Back
    Shoulders
    Legs
    Arms

    Proposes routine Monday to Saturday.

    Arms
    Legs
    Chest
    Back
    Shoulders
    Arms

    What you think?

    So you'd be doing them monday and saturday, then off sunday, then doing them again monday with one day rest between?
    I think monday / thursday or friday would be a better split.

    Try it and find out.

    No offense but dips are great for triceps.

    I know what your trying to say and I agree with you.

    With your current split you may find it profitable to do a couple of burnout sets of
    -biceps after back
    -triceps after shoulders
    then have your regularly scheduled arm day at the end of the week and go hard at it.
    fwiw, my biceps were s*** compared to the rest of my physique but the above approach is helping me. Also I've found that doing some machine bicep moves with palms open has really helped me with getting direct bicep stimulation with less forearm involvement
