Arm Abuse: Oh sweet euphoria!
Continuing my two week World Gym workout post from Carson City, Nevada: tonight was…..oh Sweet precious delicate Mother of the Muscle building world….ARMS!!! Yes folks, my second favorite body part to work just slightly behind chest. Listen to me now, and hear me later….when I work arms, I leave nothing in ‘em.
BREAK: Cliche’ time — When I work arms I:
blast ‘em
waist ‘em
keeeellllll ‘em
slice, dice and puree’ the sucka’s
put a cap in ‘em
blow ‘em up
and my personal favorite……….Thaw, boil, bake at 375, lightly broil for a few, let cool, slice equally and serve ‘em! (Long and goofy I know. But, it’s who I am…at least I’ve taken the first step: admit the problem)
Again for those of you just joining my World Gym hiatus, I like to blood volume train nowadays. More important to me than moving seriously heavy iron for a few, is to ensure I am overloading the designated muscle group with plenty of volume: lactic acid build-up is my cue that I am getting the job done……"If it’s not burning, it’s not working," is my mantra! So, without further ado, let’s get busy shall we?
All supersets done with less than 30 seconds of rest in-between:

On the road Workout rating - 10
I’m not really sure I could’ve done anything else tonight. I loved this workout because right out of the shute, during my supinating curls and dumbell extensions, I developed a serious pump. And while I’m just not really sure why, I am sure it got me all hot and bothered for a fry session. Have you ever noticed that a good pump almost always guarantee’s a fantastic workout?
On a little side note, I do not take any volumizers, but I have been experimenting with liquid Amino’s before my workouts, and I gotta tell you, my vascularity has been superb as of late. What is it about vascularity?…….Don’t know, don’t care, just know that I love it and yep, I’m addicted!! (B-Man)
At any rate, rest assured my easily worried friends, there was nothing on the table when I drudged my butt out-o-the World Gym tonight. My arms felt like Gorilla arms: and just because I couldn’t move ‘em, that means nothing: All that mattered to me, was the fact that my short shirt sleeves were stretched to the max, there were veins a poppin’ everywhere, and I know that I left some scarred people looking on in fear tonight.
If it’s not real, then what’s the point!!

Sometimes I wish I still had the unbridled enthusiasm for working out that you have BA! These posts are like something I would have written as a teenager. Congrats on still having the fire!

haha rad, I’ve gotten to the point where I either am working the front or the back of the arms.. Tris and bi’s in the same day for me is impossible unless I could pop my arms off at the end of the work out and put on some robot arms.
There is no mobility left in me just working one side lol.
Maybe someday I’ll get on that one body part kick when what i’m doing stops working for me.
