gotta agree....
i wouldnt isolate Biceps alone. meaning, dont go heavy on 'bicep exercises'. they (meaning the bi, RC and ant delt) are subject to strains much easier than other muscles. stick with mod to high rep. recommend straight bars, and preachers with good form. biceps only account for 1/3 or less of the upper arms size. go heavy on back days, and the biceps will get plenty work.

likewise, i wouldnt spend much time isolating the triceps. you'll hit them plenty one the heavy chest days (just be sure to vary grip widths). 2/3's of the upper arms size is from the tricep muscles. hanging and bench/chair dips will have the tri's exploding. you can always add crushers and kickbacks for further definition or isolation if wanted.

if you choose to do 'natural' exercises. do push ups, pull ups, and dips to failure, in multiple sets with short rest intervals (less than 2 minutes). with each set adjust your hand positions/widths to attack the muscle from each angle. good form is paramount.

as always, eat and supplement appropriately for muscle growth!!!

I train body parts 2x per week except for bi's and tri's. I train them directly 1x per week with 3-4 total sets. Generally BB curls and skullcrushers. Occasionally I will superset BB curls with DB hammer curls.

I think you forgot the most important exercise.

EATING!!

Its easy, pick up the fork, stabb the food, put in mouth. repeat again and again.
