Muscle Growth

Ok was wondering if you get more muscle growth by doing things differently.

For instance, say person A worked out biceps every Monday and person B worked out biceps every Monday and Thursday. Assuming time was not a factor and you give person A extra time to equal the number of workouts of person B. Would person B get better results just because he uses his muscles more often and growth is better stimulated if you don't give your muscles extra rest?
 
Well, from that I can only assume that the person that trains on 1 single day could possibly damage his muscle more, but he could also burn it enough to get good results.

Personally, I am most likely like the other person.
 
I like more frequency personally but some people have good results with once per week, per bodypart training. Although using a lot of compounds will hit the biceps/triceps more than once per week anyway. Chinups, palms up bentover rows, bench, military press.

I don't recommed much dircet arm work for newbies at any rate.

Increase your weight on bench, chinups, bentover rows and your arms will grow very nicely, along with your chest, shoulders and back.
 
I think i have an idea who created all these myths but i wonder why they done it.

IE
Why in the hell do all newbies think they have to do curls and direct arm work to build impressive arms? You don't! :D

Another Tip - Don't do all flat benching, decline/incline, different hands positions and dips. Same applies to chinups/bentover rows, different hand positions and palm up and out.

Do some heavy benchs and chinups and tell me how your triceps and biceps feel.
 
newf is right. if you want good results, make the majority (by majority i mean almost ALL of your work, not just a tiny bit more than half) of your work compound lifts then give a little bit of special attention to certain parts. IE, tactical chin ups 2-3 times a week worked very heavily with a day of biceps curls will do wonders.

If I primary work Biceps with bicep single bar curls, can those hand griping things work as the secondary?

They look like this;

You get the idea.
 
Haha. Those hand grips are for your forearms anyway. I used to do that every other morning for like 2 months. I got better and better at squeezing it but it really doesn't translate into anything noteable.
