JamesG Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Im training arms 1xwk and pulling hard 1xwk. I need to do both regular curls and hammer curls and my question is do most of you guys do both on the same day and if so which one do you do first? I had thought about doing regular curls and hammer curls on seperate days but when you add in the armwrestling practice it seems like it would be tough to recover. What are your opinions on training arms and if you have a better option please share! James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florian Kellersmann Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 James, training both arm exercises on the same day is what I would doing. I would do the hammers first and from time to time the regular curls first. Change your routine from time to time - this is the key to progress! Good luck with your training!

JamesG Posted August 23, 2006 Author Share Posted August 23, 2006 Thanks for the reply. Do you agree that hitting the arms 1xwk if pulling 1xwk is suffiecent? Some weeks we dont get together to pull could I throw in a second arm workout if we dont pull? I thought about doing some lock work with dumbells on those weeks. thanks for your thoughts Florian. Keep posting guys. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

austinslater Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Ive had decent results with both methods. If Im pulling every wk then hitting arms 1xwk is probably plenty. After this weekend Im going to pull every other wk and hit arms 1-2xwk depending on if Im pulling. For Example a 2 wk period would look like this: Monday-arms Thurs-a/w practice monday-arms thurs-arms mostly lock/static work This allows me to do full range work, partials and pull often enough to improve. We will see how it works. James come to a practice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesG Posted August 24, 2006 Author Share Posted August 24, 2006 I like that setup and 2xwk for arms is probably about right so if your pulling just hit em once and if not hit them twice. What does everyone else think? ill hit a practice sooner or later. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verdigriz Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 yes imo 2 times a weekis plenty....hammer curls after normal curls imo...but before them or instead of them..pullups are imo much more productive than isolation exercises...thats to say, if you dont do them already.
