Remember that arm size is not just about the biceps. Much about arm size is the tricps. Remember to hit them too

I do supersets--one bicep one triceps exercise in each set. No worries!0 -
+1 for door hang pull up bar. I do a bunch of sets while doing the morning get ready for work routine. Doesn't get you sweaty, and takes basically no extra time for a good arm/lat pump session.0

What about a pull-up bar for at home? Pull-ups and chins on upper days
:$ should've read the thread - pull-up bar will be your best present, I got mine for my birthday - love it!0 -
You want your arms to grow? Give them their own day! Superset a triceps with a bicep exercise, doing a total of 3 to 4 exercises for each. For example, start with skull crushers super settled with dumbbell curls; you could the do dips supersetted with barbell curls, and finish with triceps cable extensions supersetted with heavy hammer curls... Give it a try, you'll love the pump from this workout...0

So she should have a full arm workout in between her 2 days of compound lifts? How is that not going to affect her goals in her programming?You want your arms to grow? Give them their own day!

There's 168 hours in one week, if you can't find 40 minutes to dedicate to arms, then don't complain about having skinny arms...my arms are 19 1/2" BTW, how big are yours mrM27?

People have different goals... For some its to increase strength, some want to lose fat, others may only be interested in muscle hypertrophy... Honestly I could care less about dead lifting 700 pounds and squatting 600, benching 500, but I want to look like I can lol..

I work 50-60 hour a week, am working on my master's thesis, and am basically a single parent to a 4yo because of my husband's schedule. Sorry to "complain" about my 11" guns and the lack of time I have to devote to them.
BUT, back to the original point, I'm dedicating a chunk of time Saturday mornings to bi/tri supersets.0 -

I commend you for what you are doing! The fact that you go to the gym at all is amazing! I wasn't aware of all you have on your plate.... It all depends how important it is for you, If you really want to, you can make the time; I have no doubt that you will have better arms come the summer time! Try this work out, you'll love it, and your arms will to!

I got stronger on certain lifts, those lifts helped increase my maxes on he bench press and deadlift! Getting stronger on dips, and skull crushers (lying ez bar tricep extensions) will help increase your bench! Developing stronger biceps and forearms will help grip strength and help increase deadlift. So it has its benefits..0

Dude you really aren't adding anything to this thread with the retarded "synthol" comments...-1 -
You could consider checking out Blade's myo-rep concept and slap that on to the end of your workout twice/week and pay attention to whether or not this effects recovery/performance on your main lifts. And if it doesn't, see what happens over a long *kitten* bulk while doing that.
I'd also be curious if you've made any progress in the past 6 months or so. So for example you say your arms are lacking but are they less lacking than they were 6 months ago? If so, your current training volume for arms MIGHT be fine through the current selection of lifts you have.
It might not be OPTIMAL but given that you also have goals of being strong at the main lifts and your time is limited it becomes a matter of prioritizing your training to your goals.0 -
