Working Out Upper Body And Lower?

396545382 Ok so I just recently started going back to the gym (Been about 2-3 weeks) my friend and I go every other day so I was wondering whats a good routine to follow to get a good enough workout for not going every day. I'm mostly concerned about my biceps since I have skinny arms. Also suggestions on leg work outs would be appreciated.

  2. Warrior - This is mainly more about diet then it is about which workouts you do. For biceps, do your dumbell curls man. I'd say 3 sets of 10, 10-12 reps each. If you're a skinny guy, the main thing you need to do is eat like a horse. Get yourself as sore as you can at the gym, and go directly home and clean out your fridge. Hit the protein hard

  3. ToxicP125 - I've never understood the over focus of a small muscle whose primary focus is to bring your hand towards your shoulder / mouth. As a beginner, do yourself a favor & look into one of two routines (which you can look for on the web). They are Starting Strength & Strong Lifts 5 x 5. These are great work-outs for beginners (will build strength, mass & some size) & you can later bring adapt these lifts into either more of a power lifting routine or a body building routine.

    Both of these routines I believe have chin-ups as "assitance" exercises (which directly works the bicep) & some of the compound movements you are mastering will be indirectly working the triceps / biceps (hence little need to be wasting time on bicep isolation exercises).

    Don't change these routines (with needless stuff) thinking you know better, just do one of them for 12 weeks (if not 24 - 36 weeks).
