Back and legs. Back and legs. Back and legs. Focus on that. Not some pissy mirror muscle cross fit horse shit bicep program.
There are lots of guys I see in my gym, all young under 25’s. They have, relatively speaking, “big” biceps and train them every session. They are “big” because the get hit a lot and everything else is small. So they look like big guns. But stand back and look at the package and they have no lats, chicken legs and disappear when they turn sideways.
Back and legs. Back and legs. Your broceps will tag along growth wise.[/quote]
Oh snap i missed that day at BB orientation when they told us that working your legs increases your bicep…

Well, what normally limits your rowing/chin up strength? Biceps/rear delts. My biceps and back tend to give out about the same time, maybe the lats/traps first depending on form/exercises.

Which is why you will always be skinny and weak.
For those of us a bit “slow” in the comprehension department, training back and legs AS A PRIORITY gives you the foundation to build a better, bigger, stronger body. Yes, you can do curls… after you do the real stuff.
When stop fondling yourself in front of the mirror, go read the latest article by Rippetoe on the T-Nation home page. Here’s the link if you don’t know how to do that:

Lotsa strength athletes do. I think Heavythrower mentioned something about it back in his competing days.
Of course none of them even lift I guess according to Mr. Walkway.

Heheh, I actually like that. I’ll stop bustin your balls.
Im not a body builder by any means. i prefer power but one thing i noticed when I wanted bigger arms was I trained my biceps super light for only 9 or 10 sets then hit 1 or 2 heavy set of dumbell curls then I would train tris supper hard with a lot of close grip and a lot of heavy tri pushdowns. This training style put on an inch onto my arms in a little over a month. But also at that time I was bulking hard and I have never been a big arm trainer, so im sure my arms reacted to any stimulase that i gave them. I would also for like 5 to 10 mins everyday flex my arms really hard, I suppose this is where it ties into the arm training everyday. But this is just how I did it, everyone else have different success stories.
I did a set of barbell curls every day for 6 weeks to bring up my biceps, and they got bigger and stronger. 1 single set apart from your regular workout, say you train at 5pm then do the set of curls 6 hours later at 11. Start with a weight you can get for 10 reps or so, work that up to 20 reps… add weight so that you can only get 10 reps again… work that up to 20 reps… etc. Don’t be afraid to put some oomph into it, no one ever got strong using picture perfect form. I did this when I started training and biceps have been a strong point ever since.
I believe it will work well, but then I’m not the one with the largest arms here (about 16"). Arms would especially respond to large volume, because they’re smaller muscle and faster to recover. I wouldn’t train them absolutely everyday, but you could very well start with 3-5 days and start from there.
Thibaudeau often suggested training arms three times a week ( Thib's Quick Tricks ; Thib's Quick Tricks ) and that was before advanced W-O supplement like Plazma.
I’d suggest at least three arms training session a week, but more wouldn’t be a mistake, and you could even go somewhat heavy (6-8 reps range).
Thank about it this way, If you think high reps and light weights ‘erryday’ will make your arms swole then think what highish’ reps and heavy weights will do at the same volume.

Okay, I know I’m gonna get flamed for this. But hear me out.
What if one were to train his arms everyday, with verrrryyy low weights and high reps? Look, before people start busting my ass with the whole ‘muscles dont grow in the gym’-phrase: I know that.
But look at construction workers: they get 'em guns by working with bricks and hammers and all kind of heavish tools. Working ('out) 9 'till 5 everyday. Believe it or not, most of them lead a life besides working with tools: gym memberships etc.
So what do you guys think? Some very low intensity tricep/bicep work in the mornings for some extra ‘pump’?

I train arms nearly everyday.
You’re right. People should only worry about if what the other guy is doing is actually working.
If some guy trains arms everyday and has arms bigger than most and is big all over, then he is doing what he needs to.
If some guy is training arms everyday at the expense of other muscle groups and they aren’t growing much, then they need to change what they are doing.
