[nder98]

Have you or any other pro (other than Mat Duval) done such a routine?

It's basically an 8 or 9-hour arm routine, done after 3-4 days rest, in which three antagonistic supersets for biceps and triceps are done at the top and bottom of the hour. I first heard about it in 2002, when MuscleMag International and IronMan had articles on it. IronMan's article was brief, claiming this came from its founder, Peary Rader (it was actually called "Add-a-Half-Inch-in-a-Day"; whereas the one in MuscleMag, done by MuscleTech, was "Up-to-One-Inch-in-24-Hours").

While the Rader article just said to eat six high-protein meals per day and use alcohol on your arms, afterward, MuscleTech was a bit more precise, diet and supplement-wise. Here's the breakdown of the latter program:

Workout ONE (Superset)

1A: Barbell Curls 3 X 8 (10-rep max.)

* Load a straight bar with a weight that you can do for 10 good reps. Curl for 8 reps only, using strict form.

1B: Triceps Pushdowns 3 X 8 (10-rep max.)

* Pick a weight on pushdowns that you can do for 10 good reps, but only do 8, all with strict form. (This constitutes 1 superset. Perform 3 supersets, resting for only 30 seconds between each.)

Workout TWO (Superset)

2A: Seated Dumbell Curls 3 X 10 (12-rep max.)

* Grab a set of dumbells you can curl for 12 good reps, but only do 10, using strict form.

2B: French Press (EZ-curl bar optional) 3 X 10 (12-rep max.)

* Now do the same for triceps by loading up the bar with a weight you can lift for 12 reps, and push out 10. (This constitutes 1 superset. Perform 3 supersets, resting only 30 seconds between each.)

MuscleTech claims you should rest four days before and after this workout. In IronMan's version, it's three day's rest before, two days rest after, followed by light weight training on the third day.

That would be "Only the Strong Survive", the second of three discs by MuscleTech, which came free with a 4-lb jug of NITRO-TECH or 7-lb jug of CELL-TECH.

One lady at GNC gave me all three discs for free, after I picked up a jug of Cell-Tech (on clearance sale, of course, for about $20  ).

Duval was signed to a developmental contract with TNA (He basically went to their farm system, just like WCW's old "Power Plant").

My favorite line was regarding the arm-training routine with Boevig and Cutler. Boevig asked, I don't know; I forgot where I heard it. But, it's not like having sex with a woman and getting off. That whole orgasmic thing isn't true?"

To which, Duval replies, "Maybe for Arnold. But, if Arnold had to train with me, that would be the LASTthing on his mind.

Hey, considering at the time, the most up-to-date training video I had purchased in my collection was from the Lee Haney Mass Fuel Kit, the DVDs weren't that bad. OK, I also has some episodes of American Muscle, ranging fron 1991 to 1995, and the ones of WBF Bodystars from 1992.

Replace the words Cell tech and Nitro tech with "Pump N Pose/Synthol oil" and you could have easily gain a few inches in a day

[The Abdominal Snoman]

To many bananas cause Crohns/Colitis. Its not scientifically proven but I have a hunch.

That's "up to an inch". And, this program was apparently around before Duval was even born, according to IronMan magazine.

The most I've heard anyone claim to have gained, who tried this program here, is 3/8" of an inch.

was that same 3/8inch there after 3 days?

[MCWAY]

In that poster's own words.....

I have actually done the all day arm routine (twice).

The first time I gained (permanently) 3/8" to my arms (I was in full training so it was not after a layoff where gains are easy.

The 2nd time I only gained barely 1/8 of an inch (not even 1/8th of an inch)

Each time I did not do anything out of the ordinary such as massive supplements, eating,  or rubbing alcohol, etc.

About halfway thru the day, you start to get worn out by the routine (physically and mentally), but ya just keep[ going.

The 1st time i did it still makes me laugh------I did the routine at home (I have weights at home too), and I remember loading my E-Z curl bar and weights into my van, I had some things to get at the store, and I remember doing curls and standing triceps extensions in the parking lot of K-Mart !!!!!!

The routine has worked for me !!!     Good Luck !
