I just figured something out. Took 56 years!

[Vince B]

I was talking to a bloke recently and he just didn't get what I had to say about getting bigger. His experience made him conclude

that he needed anabolic drugs to get bigger arms. No matter what I said he didn't change his beliefs. He needed testosterone. That made me wonder.

I am twice as old as this guy and my adult experience is probably 4 times what he has gone through.

I now believe it takes an expert in hypertrophy to recognize another expert. There you are. No wonder the lads here don't

listen to what I have to say. They disregard my experience and ability to solve problems. They literally have no clue about the science.

By the way, training for bigger size takes a lot of motivation. The kind of dedication that makes one finish an advanced post graduate degree, etc.

As you get bigger it seems to take incrementally more intense workouts. No wonder few overcome this barrier and get huge.

As long as I don't reinjure myself I am on course to exceed my previous largest measured arms. That was in 1999 and 18 in cold.

Previous to that I reached 18 3/4 pumped arms back in 1975.

Disbelievers, scoffers, and broscience authorities need not contaminate this thread with negativity.

Dude ypu have said the same thing for the last 10  years and ypu look rhe same now as 10 years ago.

not dissing your expertise on hypertrophy just your will to train hard

[James28]

18 3/4 of fat /= 18 3/4 of muscle

At my age staying the same is an achievement.

[Waller]

Why in your opinion have you never achieved massive arms Vince?

[Kim Jong Bob]

At my age staying the same is an achievement.

good point

[Sokolsky]

Any and every self-proclaimed "expert" needs to be shot dead on sight.

[BigRo]

there are more important things to focus on at your age than the size of your arms.

this....words of wisdom

Ah, how refreshing to hear the advice of a genuine authority in life. There is nothing important in life except trying to stay alive.

So building arms will do just fine to pass the time.

Young boys first, big arms - second!

State some facts/experiences Vince - you sound like a snake oil salesman.

No one & prisoneko for example gave a detailed text on how to achieve a bigger and leaner physique. One can try it, debate it and at the end of day one can follow it and see if it works.

Guess we have to wait for the arrival of T1000/skynet to see if some of Vince's mechanical theories hold water.

No one didn't post a method to get huge. He advocated drugs.

I have posted details several times. I will demonstrate by example.

[thegamechanger]

im pretty sure that if you put on bodyweight your arms will get bigger too
so the key to bigger arms is bigger meals not more intense training

[Julio Ceasar]

Armezise realy dosent say anything. We need another factor to get somwhere.

How is your armesize vs waist ratio? 1975 1999??

I mean, armesize dosent say jack shit without including other factors...just saying...

WHAT ABOUT THE RATION betwen waist and arms over the year? Waist is a pretty damn great thing to include with measurement! U need something to relate to otherwise we are out in the space bencing 600 pound! Dosent really say ANYTHING!

Armsize vs weight is another great thing. Streangt vs weight another. U always need more fact if u want to se if the progress are REAL or just fooling yourself...

And in this case I think u fool yourself and are not aware of the reality! Sorry old man!

[thegamechanger]

arms are not going to get bigger with everything else staying the same. bigger bodyweight = bigger arms. thats why bigger guys have bigger arms than smaller guys.

I'm all ears Vince. Looking forward to your findings.

[falco]

You are only 56yo? You look older friend.

[Tapeworm]

Vince, you have socks that are 56.  You're 90 if you're a day.

[Thin Lizzy]

Vince has food that has been stuck between his teeth for more than 56 years.

[Tapeworm]

Way better than mine.  Kinder too.  Vince, we're willing to grant that not all your teeth are wooden.

Vince,

Just out of curiosity, what makes you an "expert" in the realm of hypertrophy?

What course work did you pursue in order to deem yourself worthy of being called an expert in Hypertrophy?

What peer-reviewed articles have you published that have somehow landed you this classification?

Have you written any chapters in any particular Anatomy & Physiology textbooks surrounding the notion of hypertrophy?

What governmental agencies have deemed you an expert in this?

Because the notion of hypertrophy itself is a very rudimentary term in common Human Physiology. There's no complex science behind what happens in hypertrophy. If it took you 56 years to figure out the basic properties of hypertrophy, I'd say your brain has been suffering from some serious atrophy.

Added stress on an organ or particular muscle, causes said organ or muscle to increase in size to compensate for the added demands. Clearly, every organ & muscle has a cap to the size in which it can grow without the use of endogenous substances (The heart can only experience hypertrophy for so long before it reaches cardiac failure etc.).

[juicemachine]

So you maxed out at 18" and somehow think you are special? That's fairly average.
