a massive centimeter in two years! I need to do something else, any help?

Add more muscle overall, -> Consistent calorie control + consistent workouts + try many different types of workouts.

Dave in all seriousness I have the same exact problem, I cannot get ripped I mean real ripped for the fuck of it, you and me (and I know this is true) our type of bodies don't get really ripped easy, its super easy to put "mass" *even fat* on for us, but loosing it is a pain.

doesn't matter, more calories works for EVERYONE regardless of metabolism, the trick is finding out how many calories you need to put size on.

Post by: triple_pickle on December 09, 2007, 11:59:32 AM: approximately, an extra 10-15 pounds of body weight gives you an extra inch in your arms, so you gotta eat if you want to have big arms.

You can get really ripped if you lose no more than 1 - 1,5 pound per week until you have lost enough weight, while keeping calories as high as you can (starvation = fatloss will almost halt after some time, while you loose tons of muscle).
If you are 220 @ 22% bf, you have 48,4 pounds of fat on your body and 171,6 pounds of lean body weight. If you lose 1 pound of fat each week until you are 181,6 pounds, your bodyfat will be 5,5%. You will probably lose some water weight and shit, but the reality of it is that if you want to be truly ripped and are 220 @22% (very common), you have to persistently diet for 38,6 weeks on the 1 pound a week plan. That's about 8,82 months. If you go for 1,5 pounds per week (which is the most you should ever loose each week(, it will still mean 5,88 months If you have never dieted for this long before with a structured plan, you can not claim that "I can not get ripped".

These calculations does not factor in shit like water loss and so on, but if you diet for 6 - 10 months on a 1 pound per week plan, you will get ripped.

there's a difference between being fat and being full, just because your stomach swells after you eat doesn't mean you've put on bodyfat.

And seriously forget all the special shit... HIT the arms, you have to do what works for you...

Try out workout heavy low reps - Do you get a burn? Do you get a good feeling 2 days after?
Try out workout small weight hight reps - What happens?

Don't even by all the "special Biceps workout" it's all horseshit.

just try to up your weights man, honestly that's the only way, when you can bb curl 135 for some good reps and do close grips with 275 for a good set of 8-10 or dips with 130-150 pounds hanging off your waist you can't help but have big arms.

Thank you but I am very small, the huge guys at the gym dwarf my small 5'8" body. I need chest and arms. I dont want to get fat though. My girlfriend probably wouldn't mind though, its just about how I feel.

Just tell your gym buddies that your name is Bagdad Behzad, and you will be 300 pounds in their minds. 8)

I don't have time to count calories, I am a very busy man. Work 20 hours and 30 hours at school every week.

That = an excuse.

You make a diet in excel or something and calculate the calories. Then you measure up all the food in the morning every day, and make it, and you are set for the day. It saves time, and you get the exact amount of calories you need for bulking or ripping down.

I never plan my meals, it is a crap way of life. At best I can add a couple shakes and eat like I always do.

And this is the reason why you have not progressed a lot the last few years.

Thank you but I am very small, the huge guys at the gym dwarf my small 5'8" body. I need chest and arms. I dont want to get fat though. My girlfriend probably wouldn't mind though, its just about how I feel.

Just eat some food..

You wont gain size otherwise.

Big shoulders, whats your military numbers?

Most I ever did was like 205 for reps.. hahaha brutal strength. :-\

I'm telling you though, I was always stronger and a lot more muscular when I was fatter. You want to add some size, then you need to eat big for a while and then cut back. I'm not saying get all serious and shit and start eating everything in sight, but just set your goals on a certain amount of calories.

I was thinking a triceps/biceps workout that you have used with success.

Just make sure no workout is the same. The muscle responds to new impulses.
Different exercises, lots of sets for one week, fewer sets for the next etc. etc.

Post by: bmuscle90 on December 09, 2007, 02:26:38 PM: Switch up your sets/reps and do different angles. You wont get big if you dont eat. So many think that if they add 20min to there workout they will get bigger. Most peoples problems is that they focus on training too much and dont eat enough. Need make sure you do both equally.

Bingo. At that age, I was either partying, clearing the debris or making some gal. Looking back...pretty easy to see why results were absent.

/some of the funnest times of my life. i should have done time for some of that shit.

I would just cut out all the fluff and do very few basic exercises trying to get stronger. Like Squats on Monday, a couple of pressing exercises on Wednesday, and deadlifts on Friday. Plus food.

I am 18. If I eat like fuck my stomach balloons up, the feeling sucks. I am 160lbs. I want to reach 170lbs with 10% bf.
Just stay ripped and bang all the young pussy you can. Being 32 isn't bad, but I'd rather be nailing high school chicks. ;D

Post by: rocket on December 10, 2007, 03:39:26 AM: I just did this and got aboutquarter to half an inch (but I have always neglected my arms). 4 parts over 12 weeks. I've always found Ian King workouts to produce decent results.

a massive centimeter in two years! I need to do something else, any help?

My guess, you train like a sissy, eat like a sissy, sleep like a sissy, and drink and party every week.
result is you look like a sissy

train hard, eat good ( dont overbulk and get fat, ) , sleep alot, and try to limit your alkohol intake. train everything , not just arms, and don't ego lift do it properly

Hope this helps!

Post by: GoneAway on December 10, 2007, 03:55:14 AM: maybe trying to stay at too low bodyfat is whats stopping growth. for a regular natty, expect some stomach growth when ur bulking and expect not many results if ur calories are too low

Post by: _bruce_ on December 10, 2007, 04:28:51 AM: For arms I would do weighted chins + dips - high tension means high fiber damage which results in solid growth.
My arms suck and they didn't get bigger via magic xyz-curls, but since I started to do chinups as my main-bicep exercise I've gained half an inch.
Unless you're gifted(growing easily + long and full muscle bellies) single joint movements won't get you very far.
