Chest & Shoulder exercises work the Triceps while Back exercises work the Biceps. If you overwork your arm muscles, you will not see gains elsewhere. A lot of people split their routine into Back+Bi's and Chest+Tri's. This has worked for decades. Do each at most 2 times per week for great results. 1998.5 E1 SVT Contour #5482/6535

I know when I have because the next day, I can't stretch my arms out all the way, or even close to all the way. It's painful. It takes a few days for that to go away too. I just got a weight bench fer christmas (needed it since I'm no longer in HS and couldn't use those facilities). My regiment is this. Run (currently trying to get back in shape) Bench - triceps, pecs Incline Bench - triceps, mostly pecs Squat - all leg muscles, cept a few (if running didn't kill my legs) Preacher Curls - biceps, forearms Shrugs - trapezius (you can really feel it) Back Rows - little bit of arms, back (deltoids) Lat Pulls - latissimus dorsi (if I had the apparatus) Until I get a few more things in there, that's how it'll be. BTW, I use only freeweights, with everything. I've tried both free weights and machines and the results I got from free weights were 20 fold better than that of machines. My '97 Contour

Monday- Chest and Triceps Tuesday - Back and biceps Wednesday - Biceps and triceps Thurs- Shoulders Fri - Good ole Legs On mondays and tuesdays, i only do about 2 exercises and mainly just focus on chest and back since the biceps and triceps are really being worked by doing those anyway. On Wed i do 3 exercises for each. A few bicep exercises: Bar curls Dumbell Curls Concentration Curls Preacher Curls (theres a couple machines for this) Tricep exercises: Dips Tricep extensions (theres a couple machines for this) Skull crushers tricep kickbacks Be sure to eat healthy and eats lots of protein. Rule of thumb if your looking to pick up weight: "Eat 1 gram of protein for every lb that you weigh."
