take away one arm day, add leg day. Squat. Deadlift. Bench Press.

Heavy leg work will stimulate test, increase your metabolic rate, and help you build bigger arms. Skip legs and you'll short-change yourself.

Ok, here's what I don't get....

day 1-chest
day 2-arms
day 3-back
day 4-chest
day 5-arms

I see no day for legs yet you claim your squat is 225????

225 isnt alot even for a newb... most small weak kids at my school can squat like 250-300lbs.

Hmmmm. Where is this magical land where weak, tiny people squat 300?

Is it closer to the Kingdon of Quartersquatting or the Realm of Internet Hyperbole?

I think you have to go through an Internet blackhole into the realms of planet BS.
Full of newbies starting at 2-300lbs lifts.

Im not asking anyone to believe what I say, but there were atleast 8-10 kids on our high school football team that barley ever trained legs and were squatting anywhere from 2 to 3 hundred pounds. I could care less what you think.

They obviously weren't as little and as weak as you are saying they are. They also probably used 1/4 ROM (probably being the key word).

Take a look at the journals section and you will see that very few noobs can squat 2 plates for proper reps in there first 6-8 months of training.
