to arms, I believe training them two times a week with high intensity is what yields the
best and also the fastest results. Typically I train arms earlier in the week with what I will
be referring to as an “A” workout. These “A” workouts are normally focused more on
heavy training with a slight focus on strength. Then, later in the week I will hit a “B”
workout which is more “pump” focused. Both are great ways to “shock” the arms and to
achieve progressive overload and grow those ‘stubborn’ arms into nice, full, chiseled
arms.
Your job is to pick 1 “A” workout and one “B” workout and hit them both in the
week as stated above. You ideally would hit “A” early on in the week and then proceed
to hit “B” later on that same week. You will do this for 4 straight weeks. This is how you
will approach the first four weeks of the program. For the last 4 weeks, you will have a
two day split incorporated into your routine where you have a full on triceps focused
session and also a full on biceps focused session within the week.
**MAJOR KEY: Focus on mind/muscle connection.… leave your ego at the door and lift
the weights don’t just move them**
