What do you do for arms?

This is a less than scientific approach, but things like pump and time under tension do nothing for me. I need heavy compound stuff like sandbag carries, farmers walks, close grip bench, floor press, etc to progress.

I’ve done everything. They get worked a good bit when I hit my back with rows and chin ups but I do hit them directly with incline curls, preacher curls, hammer curls, cable curls, pushdowns, overhead extensions, weighted dips, etc. In the past I had an arm day but that didn’t seem to help at all. I’ve tried high reps and currently 8-10 reps focusing on progressive overload. I recently watched a video from Jeff where he advocated for heavier movements in the 4-8 rep range so I may try that out. He says that biceps have a lot of type 2 fibers and respond well to that rep range.

I’m not worried about a pump either. I rarely get pumps and that never equates to growth for me in the past. I could do 20 reps of cable crossovers and get a good pump but that’s not doing me much good in the growth department.

Most of my body has always responded well to progressive overload in the 8-12 rep range(This is also proof that my diet is in check.)But bi’s and tri’s just seem like they don’t want to grow anymore.

Sandbag carries will definitely help get the job done. Gymnasts also use rope climbs but that’s tough to find

farmers walks


This. Doesn't seem like it would do a lot for biceps but it does. Also weighted pullups. Lots of them.
