Question from a twink today...
« on: April 22, 2010, 05:47:23 AM »
Question: If I want my chest to grow faster than other body parts, can I add in additional clean calories on days that I train chest?

Answer: Let me check with my GB friends who are experts on the matter at hand.

This sounded absurd on the surface, however, there maaaaay be some validity to it....maybe. We all know that muscles grow outside of the gym while recovering. So, why not flood the damaged muscle with additional growth nutrients to enhance development? Would the additional calories all go directly to the recovering chest? That is the question. Is this the dumbest thing you've ever heard or not?

Feeding the damaged muscles with additional clean nutrients may work in principle, but any excess calories that the body doesn't need will more than likely just get stored as fat. There will come a point of diminishing returns and you won't be able to stimulate muscle growth forever like that. When fat storage takes over, the body's estrogen levels actually increase and you could find yourself actually catabolic.

Besides, you can't really pick and choose which muscles you want to grow faster than others, if you want to improve a lagging bodypart you concentrate on focusing training that part consistently and just hold back a bit on the parts that are already developed.

literally takes a rocket scientist to figure that training  a bodypart more often makes it grow faster and bigger.

100% incorrect.....but coming from someone who goes to the gym just to stare at the big guys and ridicule them in his mind, no surprise.

Hit a bodypart MORE EFFECTIVELY and it will grow, you still need to recuperate

This doesn't seem that hard to me.

Hey Groink, how can I effectively hit my arms  ???, they make me sad. Please help.

depends on what equipment you have available.


Yesterday I attached a single handle to the low- pulley row machine. you know..the one that you sit on the long bench and put your feet in the stirrups and then row to your stomach?

So I grabbed the handle and laid out my arm flat on the bench, getting a full stretch... and just did 6 sets of curls for each arm like that...my bis are screaming today.

Chest is irrelevant in bodybuilding.  You need to get a massive ripped back with all other body parts atrophied beyond all fucking recognition.

yes, but not to make the chest grow faster than other body parts, but to make it grow faster than it usually would.... assuming that the normal calorie level is near or below maintanence...

So, calorie level is below maintanance def in shedding mode. Howevere, ONLY on chest day would the cal level increase dramatically flooding the damaged chestand causing it to grow more than other bodyparts. . Does this make sense  ? Seriously?

I believe Mike Arvilla claimed to have done that workout and said it worked.  It was something like doing 1 set per hour and eating in between.  LOL
