Arms – December 15
Since French BB’er called me out yesterday I trained arms haha. No in all seriousness we are in the midst of a move and my plan was to train legs but I had been packing up all day and had a meeting at 6 pm so it only left me about 75 min to train and I dont feel comfortable doing legs that rushed so I opted for a good arm session and will hit legs today (Friday)
From a strength perspective I am better with sticking to one body part until complete and then moving on, from a pump perspective I get a better pump alternating between bicep and tricep without about 1 min rest between each. Not really saying this for any other reason that I believe both work and have application and so you guys can learn more about my thought process. I chose to fully train triceps then biceps. Also with me and its always been like this my triceps strength and endurance is very good, my biceps on the other hand is not. I can do two very hard sets of biceps and honestly be done in terms of really not getting much else out of the session.
