Add zottman curls to biceps. These keep your arms guessing. Also as said, add the chin-ups to biceps. If your like me can do like 20 chin-ups easily, add weight to your waist with a belt.
Also for legs, mix it up with some cycling or weighted jogging. That will help with lasting longer in the gym as cardio.
You can only do military press standing up, otherwise it's just shoulder press, and for that use dumbells.
Front lateral raises to shoulders too.

Not doing chest?

If they are then it's wrong form, don't get me wrong yes you will be suffering by end of the week, and i'm not trying to be a bell-end here, but i feel with proper form without over-training and with sleep/rest and supplements you should be turning round recovery in the days rest.


I'm trying to find something right about that post but tbh im struggling.

Its NOT recommended to do deadlifts the day after biceps. Even when done properly there will be a lot of strain on them.

Even with an amazing diet you CANNOT train legs every other day and its normal to ache for 2-3 days, this does not always mean your overtraining, especially if your're getting the rest you need afterwards.

There good 'cos not only for biceps but they do forearms too. Which aids the whole arm/bicep/tricep look.

I would also recommend dropsets - only 1 set after you've done your last set.

Only started doing them the last month or so but find them really good

You can do forearm raises. Which is basically half the zottman curl exercise. Also you can get some heavy stacking dumbells in each hand and just lift your wrist. That'll really build your wrists and help aid grip which means you'll be able to bench more because your wrists will be able to grip better.
Core strength comes in with deadlifts/pull ups and ab workouts, so i really wouldn't worry about that. Also doing lat raises will help give you that V Shape body.

Yeh i've done that before, but found more than anything it just builds up a really big lactic acid build up at the end of the sets. And if you've done 3 sets that should be enough. Unless your talking 2 sets and last set drop sets.

Been looking at the romainian deadlifts and they seem a really good way to put your back out. Lift with your legs not back and that!

Yeh romanian deadlifts are harder. But are possible without hurting your back. Best form is keep your head up at all times, and also stick your arse out loads. And it will keep your back straight, dont forget to wear a belt and don't lift more than what you think you can.
Deadlifts are far better though, as you are primarily lifting with your legs.

pfttt dont agree with this

i work legs one day a week with a day just for them, i only do the workout below.

squats 4*8
press 3*8
hack squat 2*8
leg curl 3*8

i can tell you now im not over training but more often than not i have very sore legs for a few days.

also dead lifts may not target your bi's specifically but they still get used.

I agree, I think its hilarious on forums when someone asks and next thing everyones a PT. After the height and weight thread on here there is no chance I would take advice off 90% of you! Either fat bastards or skinny as fuck. Only seen evidence of a few who look to be serious about the gym and know what they are doing / talking about
