arm training

No, it's not a bad train of though. It just depends on what you consider a PL style that shoud be followed. If you're simply referring to the type of movements chosen, then you are right on. I don't, however, think that beginners should be working in the 1-3 rep range.

Griz and Bob and other are pointing you guys in the right direction.

I am a powerlfiter, but recently have started incorporating some bicep work in at the end of my upper body days. The reason is two fold: one - after several years of no direct bicep training, I felt they were weak and could tear on a heavy deadlift.

and two: I'm obviously gay and want bigger biceps. (Ok, I'm not really gay, not that it would make most of you bodybuilders upset anyway - lol) - anyway, if you look at the pic of me deadlifting on the deadlift thread you'll notice my triceps don't need any work as they get pounded all week long, but the biceps could use some help.

So basically at the end of my workouts I knock out about 3-4 sets of biceps- occasionally I go as high as 5 or 6 sets total but I never do more than 2 exercises. It's usually centered around ez bar curls (my forearms can't handle straight bar - long lasting injury there) and some form of dumbell curls, which are usually hammer curls.

What I'd advocate for bodybuilders is to work on a 4 day split: 2 upper body, 2 lower body - and at the end of your upper body workout (after you've done back), knock out about 4-6 sets of biceps - heavy and compound like anything else.
