Just curious what your split looks like, or if you're doing upper lower upper or what. The w.o. you posted worked back, chest, shoulders, bis and back again
not cutting it down either just curious

Also, I enjoy the screen name ha I've been playing chess with my grandfather since I was in grade school and he passed away recently so it's a fond game/memory of mine.

 

Dude triceps are 2/3s of your arms. If you want decent looking arms the key is big triceps.

Biceps impress girls, triceps fill shirt sleeves.

Also gotta work legs if your trying to gain weight or bulk up. It's amazing how much you can gain training legs.

And squats etc work your core as well.

At 6'1 170 you can eat man! Go hit up some buffets and get some hi cal protein shakes.

My w.o. keeps the amount of sets low per cycle, that's how I can knock out the reps without changing the weight mid cycle.

The splits are a bit screwy. I should be doing: back, chest, biceps, triceps, shoulders to take advantage of super sets but equipment and bench availability limit my order.

The order I posted was for that night, its not my routine.

 

Anybody have good suggestions for gaining forearm strength/mass?

 

Don't use gloves or straps on back day has yielded me best results

 

PARTIAL DEAD LIFTS - I USUALLY DO 3 OR 4 PLATES PER SIDE. your tendons will become like steel cables and you will be able to cause serious pain just by grabbing someone.

 

Thanks for all the great suggestions guys. I've been doing hammer curls and reverse curls, as well as using towels to make my bar thicker on some other lifts.

Haha perfect!

 

Yeeah I generally work my tri's harder than my biceps. Ive got a pretty thin frame as well and very little fat. My arms have always been skinny compared to the rest of me(from my point of view at least)

 

169 ?!

youve only got 10 lbs on me wow. and yet you're wayyyyy more muscular. how tall are you?

 

Height makes a huge difference. I'm 5'8" and the heaviest I ever was was 168 and man I had to work hard to get there. I didnt cut up quite that much though^ I'm about 154-156 right now. . . Stupid injuries make building ten times harder

 

Have been for a year, finally seeing serious progress always feels good

 

Great definition on the obliques

 

That's gotta be rough, I love my carbs!!

 

You crazy mang. I just started this new pre workout formula called muscle spike. Awesomeness. Nutrition Company sells it, locally made in Broomfield.
