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!!!
