shoulders/triceps
chest/biceps
legs/abs
back/biceps

4days a week, usually an hour each sesh.

I prefer 3-4 sets of around 8-12 reps with the maximum weight I can handle, for efficient hypertrophy. Obviously, that needs a lot of vegies, protein, water and a protein shake I have post-workout.

What sets/reps do you guys prefer?
I always go 3x8-12

Why bis twice a week?

Is it a lacking body part or?

I don't know, I just do bis twice a week. I don't think it overdoes it ?
Rather do tris or something twice a week if you want your arms to look/get bigger since they make up 2/3s of it

That's the thing. Tri makes most of the arm size, compared to bi.

Well.. I kinda do bis and tris twice a week since some machines work on both. I mentioned bis twice a week coz I indirectly train it when I'm training the back.

The gyms are closed today and tomorrow :(

What do you guys do for tris? I usually just do skullcrushers, rope pressdowns and tricep kickbacks.

Tricep pushdowns can be added!
