Definitely consume more protein though, especially the day of and after you blast your arms. Protein is food your muscles and your muscles are starving after an intense workout so you could keep it 80g the day you don’t do arms and double it up when you are. I would at least consume 125grams…160 if you can Don’t go crazy with the carbs if you want to maintain your abs, eat just enough that you can really “bring it” during your workouts.
