I'm doing a strength routine currently, and it focuses around squat day and a bench day.

Tho my arms a really lacking, so I wanted to add in some bicep and tricep work. I am already doing chin ups on bench day, and my triceps are touched a little bit from bench.

What would be the best workout I can do for biceps and triceps if there is one. Rep range is 8-12

Stubborn Arms Tips


That should help you.


Besides that, consider this - train arms by themselves ONCE a week outside of your regular training. Hit them the same way you would hit chest/back/legs etc.

15-20 reps of bis and 15-20 reps of tris in the 6-12 rep area with total exhaustion by the end of training.

Broke both bones in my left forearm in October, had surgery and plates put in and pretty much had to learn how to use my hand/arm again after not being able to use it for a month+. Have been going to pt on and off since November. I am looking to get built but I am struggling with rebuilding the strength in my arm. The therapist has me doing curls, reverse curls (working the forearm but not sure what they are called) and hammer curls (i think that is what they are called). So regular curls with palm up and lifting, curls with my palm down and lifting, and palms to the side and lifting. Started with 1 lb and worked up from there of course. I got to 10 and was doing that for a couple of weeks and then went up to 15 pounds for a couple of weeks. Moved up to 20 pound dumbbells and was good for a bit, felt good and started to see some muscle gain but then it just got too painful so I stopped for about 3 weeks.

I really want to get built. Look good and feel good, but nothing extreme. I would love some tips!

Yes it is.

physical work every day, eat like a normal person.

A guy at work eat like a normal person, but we got a very physical work + hes doing some physical stuff at home when he got some spare time left.
He look skinny but he lift 155 lb with one hand w/o any problems.

Besides a normal routine, you really need to get that arm back up to par with the other one.

Continue as you are, gradually increasing the weight, reps, and thus improving your strength. I recommend icing it 20 mins on 40 mins off every day after a workout for 2-3 times.

I also recommend drinking at least 1 gal of water per day to assist with the inflammation. You want to avoid pain, so keep the form PERFECT.

Keep working up until both the left and right arm are equal in strength, once there, I will make you a custom plan.

Rehabilitate that injury first!!

What do you mean?

Is it possible to lift heavier weight WITHOUT gaining muscle size/mass? Is that what you're trying to ask?
