so i see that u have a complete arm day. i break my arm days up. it helps me recover better, yet it's just me tho.

As a woman who almost certainly weighs at least a 100lbs less than me I'm not sure why. It might be the issue of volume. You can see from my workout I do a LOT less than 99% of people just in terms of exercises.

Biceps are Hammer curls. That's it. Usually four sets.
Triceps are now (it used to be one exercise) two exercises: Tricep kickbacks - 2 sets and Tricep Pressdowns - 3 sets.

That's 3 exercises and nine sets. Even my slightly higher rep range (by virtue of being able to rep the heaviest weights we have) for biceps still means I probably average less reps and sets than most.

Biceps and Triceps are small muscles. Both get used in back (biceps) and pressing (triceps) so the volume there has it's effect too.

Mobs, you are like an Olympics-level swimmer in the pool. In the gym, you know exactly what you're doing, why you're doing it, & how long to do it.

Mindfulness has become a buzzword in higher ed in the last decade or so. Glad to hear you can do that in a busy gym.
