For example, if you are interested.. my day 1 is chest/tri's. I begin my workouts with a heavy compound movement like the BB or DB flat/incline bench and stick to 4-5 sets, 5-8reps. Then throughout the rest of this day as I move onto other exercises if they are compound I stick with this, working to failure unless I am doing an isolation movement then its higher reps lower sets. Then tri's I will hit with a couple exercies, sticking with the high reps making sure to get a nice burn but not failure. Then switching this up and doing the opposite with the opposite muscle groups during my second session of the week.
Anyways, I was bored and figured I would toss it out there that this is the way I have been doing things as of late. My biggest concern honestly is trying to get my very much so trailing arms to catch up with the rest of my body. I know it sounds like the typical beach boy body wannabe thing, but arms are really what lack on my body since I have such long arms, to go with my long legs. Chest has never been a big issue. Too bad I don't have your tri's that I remember you speaking of growing so quickly!! |
Exactly bro!! your are what Coach Thibadeau call Torso Guy and I am what he call a Limb guy jajajaj….its just the way we were put together !!! …I have a friend that is a bodybuilder that is a typical torso guy….with huge chest and back…and he has the same problem that you have….but man I just wish I had his chest jajajaj…..
This is his training split… this may help you because both are pursuing the same goal….HUGE ARMS!!
Day 1: Bis, Tris , Delts (Heavy Day)
Day 2: Chest , Back ( only 2 Exe – Maintenance work)
Day 3 : Bis, Tris, Delts (Hypertropy Day)
Day4: Off ( only 2 Exe – Maintenance work)
Day 5: Bis, Tris, Delts (Endurance/ Recovery day)
Day6: Legs
Day 7: off
He is doing this for 4-6 weeks and then he rest (to re-start the system) for 2-3 weeks and then he go back to the arm workout again for another 4-6 weeks…and try to beat previous PR
Hope this helps somehow bro!
