before or after- arms day

[athomas88]

ive heard many theories on training arms. is it tri's before bi's or vice versa?

whats your opinion?

(i have my own routine --not asking for help, just asking for opinions)

thanks for the input

same day? whichever on eyou want to focus on more probably. triceps are bigger, and make up more of your arm, so if you want huge pipes I would lean that direction. personal preference at the end of the day though.

[AdrianPerry]

For me;

Sunday or Monday - Chest/Triceps
Tuesday - Back/Biceps

For no real reason other than I'm always quite eager to train chest at the start of each week, so I get that one in first.

[chazzy1864]

Either.

You could always superset them and alternate over teh whole day.

Arms day, lol.

But seriously, I do pushes before pulls on upper day, so I guess I would say tris (it is the bigger muscle, too).

But really it doesn't matter, so preference should dictate it.

Arms day, lol.

Ur right, an arm day is such a silly waste of time right 'bro'?.... i mean, its not like every mr olympia ever had a dedicated arm day in the gym.... oh but i forgot, with all ur fame and accomplishments i guess u would know best, whats ur name again?

sure legs compare to guys that drown on all the gear they take...

Compare apples with apples, not apples and oranges

Shhh no tears, it's only a joke on the internet. *******

And yes, OP is on an IFBB pro's level...

[chazzy1864]

If aesthetics is your goal, then having an arm day can be very conducive to said goal.

[Fbomb1990]

I like to do both on saturday. get that night club pump going

Agree with Chazzy and Cparrott nothing wrong with a day dedicated to arms.

As others have said you can superset, start with the one you feel you need most work on, or alternate. Hit Triceps first a few weeks then switch.

speaking of arms, what are those you got there, 15 inch pipes? adjusting for your ego on your bodyspace i'll go ahead and say they're 14.5 inches, I remember being built like a high schooler too, perhaps you could benefit from a dedicated arm day. Altho nothing wrong with a push pull routine, except that you end up being built like..... well you

[athomas88]

well this got interesting. lol

monday- arms---bis/tris/forearms
tuesday-LEGS!
wednesday-shoulders
thursday- chest
friday- back/calves (again)

i have found this works for me...im not really looking for bodybuilding goals...more powerlifting style. i work grip 2-3 times a week as well.

I would train what ever muscle you feel is your weaker muscle first. If its biceps, Id hit a bicep movement then tricep movement. Or vice Versa, keeping in mind that your tricep is 2/3 rd's of your arm so train them accordingly. If I do Bi's and Tri's together that's the way I hit them. Ill hit triceps first and then a bicep movement. Hope I coud be of any help!

You could round it every couple months or so.. unless sum thing is actually lagging you better start off with it.
