Didn't watch the video but it's funny how
Ben is now a guru, with all these little tricks
to do the exercises right etc. BUT he never
managed to bring up the arms. The truth is
that it doesn't matter what you do as an advanced
bb, you will never change your proportions - no matter
what! Never happened in the history of bb.
Bodybuilding is mostly genes unfortunately, either you
got it or you don't.
reminds me of a relevant arthur jones (this guy still pisses gym rats off today, from the grave!
) story:
When we returned to the front office, Arthur Jones appeared. He operated in what I recognized as his familiar lecture mode. Casey lit up a cigarette, as Jones told me to pay attention.
He was about to demonstrate why Casey would always be in a different physical dimension than the one I (and almost everyone else on the planet) occupied, and for reasons unrelated to how either Viator or I trained."Flex your triceps," he said.
I turned my right arm toward him and flexed.
"Now, look," he said, using his thumb and forefinger to measure the distance between my elbow and the bottom of the long head of my triceps." Compare this to Casey's."
Viator put the cigarette in his mouth and pulled up his sleeve. A huge mound of muscle crawled into view.
"See here? There's no measurable space between the end of his triceps and his elbow, whereas yours has a good two-inch gap. Flex your forearm."
While my left biceps is the better of my two, my right forearm is slightly better than the left, so I goosenecked the fist of that arm.
"Note the gap here," he said, touching the end of my forearm flexors and my wrist. "Casey?"
By now, Viator was leaning against the wall. He apparently had been through this performance innumerable times. He flexed his forearm, which was the size of my calf, or nearly so.
"See how his muscle bellies come right down to the wrist? And look at his extensors," Jones said, pointing to the muscle at the top of Casey's forearm.
They extended two-thirds of the way down to his wrist, while mine ended just shy of halfway down.
Using these examples, he forcefully made the point that more important than the fact that Casey's bones were much bigger than mine and his neurological efficiency -- his mind/muscle connection -- was probably greater, was this muscle length issue. The main reason Casey's muscles were so big was that they were so long, compared to the tendons that connected them to his skeleton.
According to Jones, while there are several important, natural advantages that Casey possessed over 99 percent of those who have ever picked up a barbell, this one was pre-eminent. According to Jones, there were several important, natural advantages that Casey possessed, but which 99 percent of the rest of us do not: This one, the unusually long muscle bellies, was the pre-eminent one. Viator might have had a much greater recovery ability, a better distribution of fast-twitch muscle fibers, he might even have more fibers per muscle than the rest of us. But these factors were minor in Jones's opinion, compared to muscle belly length, when it came to his potential to build muscles of great size and strength.
Longer muscle bellies simply can achieve a greater cross-sectional area and volume than shorter ones can. It, along with all of the lesser factors, was a simple genetic accident that was completely unchangeable. I wasn't about to argue.

this of course, is the
actual genetic factors. The "genetics" these retards speak of today is of course the cover up for their absolutely massive drug abuse.
