If you’re like most bodybuilders, you love biceps day. There is a good chance that you typically shuttle from exercise to exercise, hitting them from every angle imaginable. You might start with the barbell curls, then move to the dumbbell curls to move some serious metal. Maybe the machines catch your eye and you spend a few sets trying them out.

Q:  My friend works out 6 days a week, and takes one day off. I say he's crazy, but he's been doing it now for 4 months straight. Is one day actually enough for mass building? It's kind of too soon to tell with him because it's only been 4 months and I don't know whether his body is really rebelling against that workload yet or not.
