The whole idea behind High Intensity training is to hammer the muscle than allow enough time for growth. One of the ways you do this is by taking your sets to failure. Some other ways are by using intensity techniques like drop sets, forced reps, rest pause, pre-exhuast training, double pre-exhuast, anything to make your workout harder. When you use more intensity in your training they have to be short. To allow for recovery, you do not grow during training you grow during rest. Every body wants big arms here is a specialization routine for your biceps and triceps. One point to remember is you do not need to hold anything back pour everything you have into this workout. This is HARD WORK. So if you are not going to put your heart and soul in this workout don't waste your time.

If you are allowing enough rest you ought to be able to add reps or weight each workout--do not take it easy on your monday and friday workouts the 20 rep breathing squats can do wonders. If you can't add weight or reps each workout allow another day rest in between your workout in 1 on---2 off format.
