A Call to Arms!

[MostMuscle]

I am in search of the craziest (and most effective) arm routine that you have tried. I am looking for something totally different from the traditional routines. Please keep in mind that I have many years of training experience so I have tried many different things.

I have a 6 week window to add as much arm size as possible before I start contest prep.

Please post ANY and ALL ideas you may have.

Thank you in advance! :

Have you tried riot bombing biceps/triceps? Check this out from abcbodybuilding.com:

A lot of people there swear by this method, used in moderation. Could be the jolt you need.

Gain an inch on your arms in one day
Haven't tried it, but I've seen many versions of this workout over the past 20 years. I would be very interested to see if it works.

It probably works if you juicing. Don't think it would accomplish anything, other then overtraining, in a natural weightlifter.

I would like to see my boss's face when i pull some weights out from under my desk

Looks interesting, i'd like to see how it works too :

Which contest are you doing MostMuscle? When is it exactly?

As for something different than traditional, well, I don't know, there are crazy things you could try, but I am not certain they'd pack on any more mass any more quicker than straight heavy intense lifting using the basics.

My advice would be to do this:

Make a pact to yourself (write it down as well as say it to yourself repeatedly before working out) to continually raise your intensity levels each and every time you workout. Tell yourself before each working set that this set is the last set you'll ever get to do for arms ever again. Act as if it is your last set on earth, each and every time you go to do your next working set for arms. Push yourself mentally, and go through the pain barrier each and every time. Tell yourself that you can do better always. Make youself do better! This is what will separate you from the rest. You have to always think, if you are training hard, there might be someone else training even harder...so always raise the intensity bar, that's what it's all about!

Yea ... it'll make your arms an inch bigger... for a day.

Once all the lactic acid, trapped blood, and other waste gets washed away your arms will be like the day before except now a little sore and more fit for long distance bicep curling.

My workout buddy and I tried this routine several months ago. Starting the routine my buddy had 19" arms. At the end of the workout about a sixteenth less than 20". Three weeks after the workout they were still around 19 1/2". Arms were dead at the end of the workout, and we didn't start lifting again for over a week.
Good luck

Todd with the excellent motivational speaking .

umm Most Muscle, what ive noticed to pack on quality muscle to the arms is this, just try find a similar instrument to use aswell to those that i will mention (instead of holding onto a open door, for example a corner of a machines bar/pole or whatever).

For Biceps:
Standing 1 arm at a time dumbell curl, and the other free arm i have holding the door (like the door is open, not pressuring the door but rather so that i'm not moving my back/body while performing the 1arm dumbell curl) then switch, i do 3sets of that, starting with Maximum 6rep intensity for 2 sets followed by 1 set at slightly less..

after a warmup set (also standing 1arm at a time dumbell curl, other free hand stretched out to door for support)

for example
30kg x 8
30kg x 8
27kg x 8
(bit of boyer coe's approach heaviest to lightest)

then i move to concentration curls
20kg x 10
25kg x 10
27kg x 8
(normal approach used in general)

all with 2minutes rest inbetween... (my unorthodox bicep routine might sound unco but its doing me wonders at the moment)

Triceps:

normal warmup set. then i lie down on a bench and i do reverse 1 arm tricep extenstion (like a 1handed skullcrusher with ahammer type palm position)
their apparently called 'One Arm Supinated Dumbbell Triceps Extension'

and i do
27kg x 8
25kg x 8
25kg x 6
23kg x 8
20kg x 10

And thats my .05c on a call to arms .
