I was starting at the new gym few years back, and after complete chest, triceps and biceps workout I found this machine, and it seem to be good idea to test it...

Well, it wasn't very good idea. In fact it was one of the worst ideas ever, because after few minutes it start to feel odd, and when I stopped, I could not move my hands because they were pumped to the max and beyond. I sit in the locker room quite some time but the pump went only harder and harder. In the shower I couldn't reach my hair to wash it, so jump in my clothes and hurried home. My wife have to feed me because my arms were useless, but I thought it would be better tomorrow. It was worse, because whole upper body was sore as hell from training and from that enormous pump. I couldn't go to work because I have no hands to work with, so I stay home for 3 days

I think you stumbled on a Basile Biceps Supinator

1. ...and then you woke up
2. As authentic as Alex Jones diet plan.

Do not take my word for it, just try it yourself, in fact I challenge you to try it for yourself

Did You make noticeable gains on that year and a half you did this??

Not really. But I was a typical stubborn stupid teenager. Figuring I'll grow faster as I got older. I didn't start making any sort of improvement until the sets were lowered. The more I lowered them, the better. Until eventually I got to what I thought was a sweet spot. Which was just a fraction of what it was.

But this experience pretty much leaves me immune to the bullshit some people spout about overtraining being impossible.

When first bought a bench and weights and knew fuck all about training and wanted to build chest muscles so would lift after school for an hour just repeating sets of 10 for the hour, then repeated the same workout before bed for another hour.

When i was a kid I sometimes set the alarm clock exactly 36 hours after the last workout, to train again. 36 Hours was ideal, I read in some Weider magazine.....

I was at my strongest following Mentzer's routines in Heavy Duty II. 1 workout per week. Gained muscle as well but it was hard on my joints and even though it worked I felt I should be working out more and went back to working out multiple days per week.

I gained a 1/2 on my arms in one week stretching them and working them.

Twice a day...

this may be true

I've been training my tris every 48 hrs and they are noticeably bigger

everything is actually bigger as I've gained a little over 5 kilo in 2 weeks but it seems my tris have grown the most which is exactly what I'm trying to do, i.e. spot gain mostly on my arms and pecs BABY

Then imagine how much bigger they would be if you trained them every 12 hours? How about every six hours? Basile speculated how much gains could be made if you trained 8 hours everyday seven days a week.

Why not? As long as you eat enough and get a good nights sleep.

Several years back I experimented with super slow chin-ups on the assisted chin-up machine. Each rep was 10 seconds (5 seconds positive, 5 seconds negative) Was grueling as fuck for my back and my biceps. But holy fuck, the strength I developed after just 6 weeks of doing these was incredible. After doing the super slow chin-ups for a month and a half, regular chin-ups were a breeze.

So how many chins could you do before and then after the month of SS training? And how many can you do now after several more years of training?

The problem with these kinds of workouts, and with Heavy Duty and dogcrapp and stuff, is that although they may actually deliver, they are not fun to do. The best workout is the one you won't quit...

I got a set of dumbells from my dad when I was 15, about 10lbs I think they were. I literally didn't know any exercise apart from bicep curls. I would do them everyday. I worked up to doing 600 reps with them, in sets of 50-100. Then I would drink a liter of milk and goto bed. The pump was intense and it actually did make my arms grow.
