5/3/1 Triumvirate Arm Focus

My plan originally was to finish bbb beefcake and then run John meadows 6 week “the arm training manual”. It was recommended to run triumvirate and just make arms the main focus. So, now I’m looking at what that would entail.

Main goals in order:

  1. Build arms

  2. Bring up shoulders

  3. Try to keep everything else from going backwards too much
    Questions:

  4. Is this a viable option for arm growth?

  5. How does the layout of everything look and is it too much/too little (currently in a surplus)

  6. How should o go about progressing the assistance

Not the answer you want; But the best arm exercises for me were chins and dips.

If you have to do purely arms, I’d do it like this;

Squat; Chins; Pushdowns
Deadlift; Dips; Curls

Bench and press assistance as per the book.
