Is training your arms everyday really the key to make them grow or is it just a meme? I have a home gym so throwing in a 15 min daily arm workout wouldnt be a problem but wouldnt that make me drop my performance on actual workout days on big lifts using arms like Bench or OHP?
Is training your arms everyday really the key to make them grow or is it just a meme...
Hopefully once humanity begins to colonize the surrounding start system, we can create a breeding planet called the Strong Strong Hold. This planet would create the ultimate impregnating grounds for the Strong Strong men.
Essentially, we would have an environment that promoted fertility to the highest degree. We would have legions of machines that produced Meg clones on a 24/7 basis. They would be inspected for the quality and we would have to employee thousands of engineers. We could even integrate skin-grafting technology to make the inner vaginal walls of the subMegs as soft as possible. This would ensure that each Strong Strong male would ejaculate as much seed into them as possible.
We could also integrate hormonal technology to ensure that each subMeg was in a constant state of ovulating. After all of the Strong Strong males bred that day, we would create barracks that would be lined with gyms, exercise supplements and materials that would create a strong seed. In fact, high-zinc foods would be optimal as this would produce thick, fertile, pearly-white ropes of semen for the subMegs to consume.
Sincerely, I cannot wait for this to occur.

I want out
Shit it's you again
Ye okay but the arms tho
Arms are relatively small muscles that generally recover in a day. Train them after every workout and rest days 3x8-12 and they'll grow fast.
So training them everyday isn't a meme? Guess ill try
Yeah you can train arms everyday, and the more you workout a muscle more it grows. weird isn't it?
It's just a matter of question. Do you want to be strong or do you want to be big? Choose one.
I'd like both, currently i dont train them at all, my workout consists of 3x full body with the big compound lifts and some smaller but still quite "big" lifts like rows.
you can be both it just takes a lot longer
There's a risk of developing tendonitis so careful
I think i already have it or something else fucked in my wrists, i literally can't rotate them outwards at all
Dedicated arm day
so you just have shitty wrist mobility? do some stretches brainlet
I'm a dyel and always had small arms but I feel like they first started growing when I increased the frequency of isolation excercises (mainly curls) to multiple times a week
but it hurts
We know that high frequency training is effective for strength and size. You can train any muscle daily so long as your volume reflects that.
It didnt hinder your performance on other days? Thats my main concern.
Just throw in some dips and curls after your workouts, maybe on rest days as well and see how that works for you. If you actually want to train arms 5+ times a week 2-3 sets a day are easily enough, since they also get worked on your compounds
not really on my level. I'd say just go for it and see what happens. What do you have to lose?
>What do you have to lose?
PRs
The extra arm work might mess with your strength in a minor way right now, but bigger arms will absolutely help you bench, pull up etc more, even within a few weeks there may be noticeable gains there. Just do it, you know you want to
I will, thanks user, what should i do tho, 4x12 of bicep curls and 4x12 of skullcrushers are enough for a daily arm workout or is too little?
>Is training your arms everyday really the key to make them grow
No, you stupid fuck. Haven't you heard of overtraining?
this reply kinda goes against this whole thread
I do triceps on push day, biceps and forearms on pull day, both twice a week and there's always a leg day in between so no hindrance on performance.
be careful bro, I seriously fucked up my wrist like that. I think you should take some time off PRs and do some active recovery.
Read If you were going tok hit 4 sets of arms 7 times a week your total bicep and trice volume would probably be at 40+ sets, which is way beyond your maximum recoverable volume and leave you with tendonitis before the week is up.
Start with 2 sets 5 days a week maybe and work your way up if it doesn’t mess with your training. Would also vary exercises a bit throughout the week. Really make sure the grip you use isn’t too hard on your wrists or elbows, because you will fuck your shit up straining those every day. Dumbbell curls and ez bar / dumbbell skullcrushers or pullovers will work, though weighted dips are the goat tricep exercise
When you do dips for tricep growth do you focus on doing them upright or with a little lean like a regular old dip with chest involved?
BASED BREEDMEG POSTER
Upright dips are pretty bad for your shoulders, as is changing the angle of your upper body massively during the movement, so you always have to lean forward to some extent.
The key to getting the tricep to do more work is to use handles that are a bit closer to your body, like in a close grip bench or push up this reduces how much work the chest can do and shifts the load more to the tricep. There is some variation in the angles you could lean in, but its pretty limited if you want the movement to be strong and healthy for you, so lean + grip width makes the difference. Dips are a compound exercise at the end of the day though, so there will always be a good amount of chest involvement
