having problem with arms

[graffix Banned Find all posts View Profile Close graffix]

I need some help fellas, I'm on cycle right now, 30mg dbol 6wks 375deca 15wks and test e 500 16wks. My problem is with my arms, particularly my biceps. I don't notice them getn any bigger. I've only been on cycl 4 2wks but evrywhere else is blowing up except my arms. I eat enough but have a very intense heavy lifting repetitive job where I sweat my balls off all day. I mainly use my arms at work and its exhausting most days. I love arm days so I know I'm not slacking. I do something like this- mon. Bis/back tues. Tris/chest weds. Off thurs. shoulders/traps fri. Legs sat. Off sun off. I throw abs in once or wice a week and cardio once a week. I start work b4 the gym opens and by the time I get home I'm beat so its really messing with my energy. I take enough days off throughout the week but I'm not sure if I'm getn the right amount of sleep. On a good day I get 7hrs and normal or bad would b 5 1/2 or 6hrs. I jus can't sleep in long enough even though I'm tired. Do u guys think any of these factors could play. Role in y I'm not seeing more size in my arms?

if its not working change it. Change ur workout, if u go heavy w/low reps try more reps (supersets, etc) also play with ur workout days+muscle groups - shake it up.

when i don't feel my Bi's getting worked or pumped I will flip my workout do shaping/targeted exercises (like preacher curls) to tire the Bi out b4 ancillary muscles then goto straight bar or ezbar curls.

You could be overtraining. If your job is as intense as you say it is it could be a real possibility. Like ODB said, change something you are doing. Play trial and error with your body and with your workouts until you start noticing change/improvement. You could try 2-3 weeks of high rep, low weight, and see how that treats you if you are not already doing it.

I also thought I may b overtraining. I recently been increasing the weights, but used to do low weight high reps. i jus don't wana waste any time with low weight anymore, I like working out with heavy weights and running 3 sets of 10 for each exercise. Mayb I should try increasing the weight o were I can only do 3-4 sets of 6-8?

Any of you have an android phone with market place? If so, go there search for "Jefit" it's a pretty cool free app that has an ass load of exercises listed out with illustrations for each body part. Last Friday i took 5 totally different exercises off there and did triceps and holy shit they hurt for two days.

change up your routine alittle, id recommend something pretty similar

mon back/traps
tues chest
wed off
thurs legs
fri arm and shoulder

i prefer something like this bc u get an indirect workout on your bis and tris with your chest and back day, then a direct workout on them fri

I have to agree with everyone brother....change things up.If its not working why keep doing it? My suggestions would be to stop working out!! Take a few days off to let your body rest up.Then come back with a new routine.Try giving arms a training day of their own.Try different types of routines like super sets and drop sets,etc.I posted a good arm workout here that you could try..........http://juicedmuscle.com/showthread.p...ps-Blast.Great pump and really helps those arms blow up.

I cant say it enough,CHANGE is what will always keep you progressing.

Also,you said the rest of you has blown up,but remember,at only 4 wks in a lot of this is water weight from the dbol my friend.

Good luck with it.Keep us posted with your progress.
