Most days I train 2x a day doing kickboxing in the evening (so cardio, legs, neck and abs are basically covered by it). Dont train arms seperatly cuz they should be covered by other excerscices?

I like to stay in the Gym for less than an hour, so can add one more excerscise to each day. Any suggestions?

arms benefit from direct isolation, abs do too, but they're also the only muscle group that's most effectively isolated with bodyweight and you don't need to be in the gym for that.

isolation is for lagging muscle groups that won't grow from compounds, if they're not actually lagging for you then there's no need to do it, arms tend to be one of those groups, but if they're growing there's also no need for it, just be careful and don't neglect them once they plateau.

I climb trees for a living which is quite rough on your forearms so I've never had to isolate them.

deadlifts are one of the best exercises for athletic performance, but they are also very shit for hypertrophy.

this is also specifically why I do them because they make your legs strong and capable without actually making them big.

my username is my job title.

I maintain/trim monumental trees that are protected by law, remove dead/diseased branches, fell difficult trees in high risk areas, trim fruit trees and do some general yard maintenance during the summer when there's nothing else to do, I get free money from the government for larping as fully incapacitated but I work like 20~ hours a week to benefit from a loophole that yields me almost twice as much as you'd otherwise get.
