In my training right now the only thing my coach has us do for arms would be back excercise which use the bicep secondary and bench which uses the triceps. If I were to incorporate an arms workout twice a week on the days I lift back and chest at the end of the workout would this be overtraining. And yes this is just for looks. Anyone know a killer arm routine to add some growth. thanks
Why would you want to train the arms specifically? That program by Christian Thibaudeau is a program for bodybuilders and I don’t see how it could help a sprinter.
I feel the arms are stimulated enough in the compound lifts.
If linebacker is a linebacker, the added mass can help in football. Also chicks dig big arms, hence why I post on saturday nights!
you could do weighted dips. For biceps alternate curls with dumbells should work ok. I wouldnt hit them too hard though…
Cheers,

Your arms should be shot after this! In case you don’t know tempo, say 301 for example would be 3 sec lowering or eccentric no pause at bottom, followed by 1 sec raising or concentric. GOOD LUCK!!!
Whoops, I didn’t notice that you’re a linebacker. 
In that case, one of my bodybuilder friends had some real success when I put him on the Canadian Cannons program (and a variation for his triceps which was on Christian’s forum).
