I was curious to hear everyone's opinion on having a separate day for arm training. I'm still on the fence about it so any input would be greatly appreciated.

Arm Day: Yes or No

Arms on a seperate day is good. Thats what I do now. Allows you to hit them hard and fresh. In my case I usually did triceps first since they are much smaller then my biceps. Or I would alternate exercises. A bicep exercise supersetted with a tricep exercise to keep the arms fully pumped. Ive blasted the fuck out of my triceps so its most likely just my structure at this point. My arms would fluctuate between 18 1/4 to 19 throughout the year depending on injuries and food intake. They are back to 19 now, but for some reason they have never gone past that mark. That may happen this year, but I will definately continue to give them thier own day to make the most out of those sessions. I space my arms day so that it is not before back training, or before chest training. Since biceps and triceps are heavily used in back and chest training

Yea def man, I've always wanted to bring my arms up. I saw toney freeman at a local show, I'm 6'2 as is he. So I was asking how he brought his arms up. He told me to train them together and don't worry about the weight really go for as good a contraction as possible, it's worked wonders. Also I've been following some of John meadows workouts, he's all about the pump on arms, I think it was John who said to grip the bar as tight as possible is every exercise you do also. It works man try it. I get a good pump and do the compound movements towards the end of my workout, and don't forget to squeeze the hell out of the bar. You won't be disappointed.Team- Big Ramy. Believe the hype.

no, because biceps get hit twice and triceps get hit 3 times "arms, chest, shoulders".
I like doing them separate but it gives me bad elbow pain and lower bicep pain.The greater danger is not that our aim is too high and we miss, but that our aim is too low and we hit

In my experience arms grow from pumps more so then other bodyparts, and the only way I can get a crazy pump is to do bi's/tri's together. I am rather gifted in arm size genetically so I ditched the arm day and just did chest/bi's and shoulders/tri's for about a year thinking it wouldn't matter and I felt like my arms no longer were a strong point. So I went back and good things happened
