My arm workout has been over for almost 24 hours and I can still feel it when I flex.  It was a ‘bonus workout’, I’d planned 2 days rest as part of my 5×5 training program.  But I found myself with nothing to do and the gym was calling to me!  I did 5×5 close grip bench @165 lbs, followed by one or more sets of the following using heavy weight: chin-ups, ez-bar curls, dumbbell extensions, alternating dumbbell curls, rope pull-downs, inner-bicep curls, skull-crushers, rope hammer curls, bar pull-downs, cable curls.  I did bi/tri supesets with little rest between sets.  By the time I was doing my final sets the vascularity I was getting was more than I’d ever seen before and my biceps especially felt like they were going to explode.  I’ve never had such a great pump in the arms!  When I was done my head was gleaming with sweat, so I grabbed some paper towels to wipe off and…woah!  I had to work to lift my arms up to wipe off my head!  What a feeling!  What a great workout!  Back to 5×5 training tomorrow, I’ll do overhead press and incline bench.
