Experiment

[Lee J B]

I'm doing a study into some training techniques for something I'm making, I figure that this will be quite interesting for me so I'll give it a try.

One body part per week will be trained, in a 3 day on 3 day off split.

Week 1 - Biceps & Triceps
Week 2 - Chest
Week 3 - Back & Abs
Week 4 - Traps & Shoulders
Week 5 - Legs

....::: Week 1 :::....
Measurements :
Bicep : 16 3/4 inch cold.
Tricep : 15 1/2 cold.



Training Session 1 : 1
Preacher curls, Cable Pulls, Seated Rows, Skull Crushers, Stading Tricep & Tri machine.

Training Session 1 : 2
Preacher curls, Cable Pulls, Seated Rows, Skull Crushers, Stading Tricep & Tri machine.

Training Session 1 : 3
Preacher curls, Cable Pulls, Seated Rows, Skull Crushers, Stading Tricep & Tri machine.


NOTE : Forgot to add that I'm also trying a new nutrition idea in relation to workouts with this program, I'll let ya know how it goes if it works.

Cant wait for results. Every week should be a nice shock to the muscles.. maybe good growth. Lee, one question... im thinking of shocking my body a little. I usually do reps 8 - 12... What can i do to get some good gains going again? Super sets and all that other stuff included.

[Jakanden]

DUN DUN DUN....

Keep us updated bro =)

[Lee J B]

Dark, you can try super sets and see how they agree with you. If you have been doing 8 - 12 reps my next move would be to switch to a lower rep workout for 4 weeks, either 4 - 6 or 6 - 8, I usually work in the fashion of one week is 4 - 6 the next 6 - 8, those extra two reps to 8 do wonders. Failing that, you could just change your split and keep the reps whilst changing the sets, I'd have to see your workout to be more helpful, sorry if that wasn't much help bro.

Keep pushin'

How do you actually measure the biceps separately from the triceps? They are part of the same circumference measurement, right?

I think he did a bicep flex and then a tricep flex..

good luck lee. THis looks real interesting.

[Lee J B]

Yeah, I did a tricep flex and got a mate to measure it. I'm not sure of the universal way to measure your tricep, there is one, but I just dont know it. Not that it matters much for me because as long as I measure it the same way / same place should still see progress...at least thats how I've been doing it for a year lol. Thanks for the encouragment Ketomaniac.

End Of Week Stats

Bicep 17 1/4
Tricep 15 3/4

Looks like this new idea works, I'll have to see what they shrienk down to and results of coming weeks.

[insano]

if you train your triceps a day before your pecs, you wont be able to efficently hit your pecs. Most pec exercises require your triceps too. You should train them the same time you train your pecs or after.

WTF...1/2 inch thats f@#$ huge mate.

17.25 inch arms are massive, wholy **** F@#$ batman.

Will be interesting to see how the overall gains are after the experiment, if you grow like that (in perspective) on all body parts, you should still come out with some massive gains.

Wow man awsome ****ing results!?!?!? Are you serious? Are you taking any supplements cause that increase is freeking amazing in a week.

[Jackal]

Its pump from over the week, so there size would come down.

[Lee J B]

Thanks Jay and Dark I think that even though the gain will go down, I'm onto something quite good, I'll explain more after everything, there are some supps but nothing illegal and no PH's. And insano, just have to say this bro... WHAT !? This is not a regular workout routine, and as it happens after chest is not always the best time to train your triceps. Learn your body, and gain access to the door .
