Y2HH,
When I first started lifting, I had really scrawny arms and I had a similar split to what you describe. Someone suggested the split that I use now (the push/pull) precisely BECAUSE of what you've stated.
I do all my chest exercises first, then I move onto my triceps. Yes, my triceps are already nice and warm, so when I follow with isolation exercises, they really burn and blow up. Same goes for back and biceps. My arms are by far the biggest muscle group on my body. Triceps are sick.
It's always worked for me, so I've never changed it.
Shoulders and legs are another story.

Curly was hilarious.
Joe was awful, just a whiny p****.

Y2HH, here's my ideal week split:
Mon- Chest and Tric
Tues- Back and Bis
Wed- off
Thurs-Shoulders
Fri-Legs
Sat- off
Sun- Back to Chest and Tric and the pattern continues..........
Each muscle group gets almost a full week to recover.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Aug 19, 2009 -> 11:08 PM)How much weight are you using? I'm not sure what's wrong, exactly -- are you looking to get stronger legs, bigger legs, more endurance, or what? Rock's workout will help with your endurance quite a bit...but I'm not sure what you're trying to do here. Sounds like you may need to do cardio work, because the fact you are tiring out when you work your legs seems to point toward lack of cardio conditioning.
Trying bulk up my legs. The endurance issue is a good observation. I rarely do any cardio yet I've never noticed a fatigue factor on days that I'm working my upper body, only on leg days. It's not like I'm soaked in sweat and gasping for air, but I just feel like I get unplugged and all the energy gets zapped from my body quickly.

Is 'It Might Get Loud' playing anywhere near you guys? Came out on the 12th in limited theaters, but where the hell is it playing??
I CANNOT wait to see it.

San Diego is perfect and that's the problem for me, too clean, too polite, too quiet, not edgy enough. SF is my fav California city, old with just the right balance of beauty and grittyness.
NYC is king, not sure how that's even debatable. As far as it having the biggest and best of most things, well it probably does.

SF, was just there last week again. City gets bettter and better.

I rarely squat because they wore me out even worse, lol.
I'm not even going that heavy, I push out 10-12 reps per set. My legs just suck.
My usual:
squats on smith machine
leg extensions
leg press
leg curls
calf raises
3 sets of 10-12 reps each

Man I hate leg days. They take so much out of me, I can't figure out why. I'll start with 4 sets of leg presses with moderate weight and when I'm done with those I'm exhausted, light headed and ready to go home. Then I'll just half ass through the rest of it because I start to feel like if I push any harder, I'll vomit. This only happens with legs, consequently, they are by far the weakest and worst looking muscle group on my body.
Tips??

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Aug 15, 2009 -> 08:14 PM)I only went back through the last two pages, and didn't see anything, so I'm still not sure if it was mentioned or not. Has anyone heard this new supergroup Them Crooked Vultures? Josh Homme from Oueens of the Stone age is on vocals, with Dave Grohl on drums and John Paul Jones on bass. Certainly sounds interesting.Keep hearing about them, but have yet to hear anything by them. I can't find it anywhere. They played Metro a few days ago.

Vermont. What is it known for? Ever met anyone from there? My point exactly.

I can totally understand how people get hooked on prescription knock out meds. If I could take a pill that would knock me out cold for 8 hours and I'd wake up clear headed and rested, you'd never be able to get me off of it.

Ding, here's where the suspicion lies. OTC stuff can maintain and slightly raise your T levels, but not to the point where they'd raise a red flag on a test.

I have my weekly movie funds burning in a hole in my pocket and there is just nothing out there even close to interesting..........well besides 'The Hurt Locker' which I saw two weeks ago.

...and so it begins. I was just asking people at work the other day why NBA and NHL players are never suspected of juicing.

So Steven Tyler fell off the stage the other night and had to be taken to the hospital. I hope he's ok, but man I sure hope that puts an end to his 'dancing'. Those are some of the goofiest moves and they were never cool, even when he was young.

..... also, what are the long term effects of putting someone under nightly? Regardless of how closely he was being monitored, being anesthesized night after night after night could not have been good for him.

I think my head is going to explode because I just listened to an album that was actually pretty awesome and listenable all the way through from the Mars Volta! Octhedron is some good s***.Really?? you mean it's not a solid 45 mins of music mixed in with another 20 minutes of wierd s***.

Like a lot of addicts, Jackson had alienated everyone who cared about him and surrounded himself with people who didn't give a s***.

IMO, there is nothing worse than being unappropriated. Bodyparts should match -- arms, shoulders, neck, back, legs, etc...if one is too big, you're doing something wrong.
While the workout you are using appears to be working wonders on your arms...it's not doing the job as told by the size of your arms over the rest...see what I mean? I'd at least consider tweaking it to even everything out.
I agree completely about proportion. My only point is that the push/pull routine is designed for people who want to target their arms. If that is your goal, it does work since it really pushes them to failure. Of course as you develop, you tweak things here and there. I still do a push/pull, but I go a lot easier on the iso lifts for bis and tris, since I'm just trying to maitain in those areas.
