feeders for arm size - new thread -

[OlympiaGym]

This method will not produce any gains beyond what you’re genetically capable of (whether it’s your enhanced or unenhanced limit). It’s also not sustainable over any significant period of time. There are no secrets.

Just did 3 sets of barbell curls of 100 reps superseded with bar skulls for 3 sets of 100.Weight was 33 lbs,ez bar and 10 on each side.Not much felt cause I’m used to very high reps anyways but the burn was intense Near the end.maybe I should make a little heavier?

Will keep doing them cause I love training arms anyways.

i welcome all opinions and debates

my take is this.... if you are at a sticking point with making arm gains or you really want to add some size to your arms and try something different - go for the feeders. i highly recommend to give it a try. 

may work for you, may not work for you - but it is worth a try if arm size is important to you and important if you want to try something different.

plus having an epic arm pump feels amazing

remember, i think the logic here is that this isn't for strength gain, just to keep the armp PUMPed 24/7, even when not lifting.  I did this last year for shoulders, I didnt get stronger, but my delts stayed capped all the time, which is a great feeling

[ratherbebig]

any method that gives you lasting pumps, long enough for going to the beach in summer, is worth it in my book

It's a waste of time really.  You want bigger arms?... train them hard and intensely, twice a week.  That's it.

All I know is that I rarely get any serious soreness anymore. My biceps are sore this morning.

[Griffith]

What is the best way to apply these principles to chest, to the pec muscles?

Tried this with delts and the result are excellent.

Changing the workout routine/regime frequently is a good thing.  

The "feeder" idea has been around for 30-40 years before Rich Piano (or any other YT guru) started making vids about it.  BTW, how can you "feed" PMMA?  lol   Rich gave some horrible advice.  I wonder how many heath problems he caused to those trying to emulate him?

I wonder what’s happened to all that filler in him if it just degraded as his body tissue does.

Yes he fed his filler with yet more filler

I hope younger guys take a lesson from rich's early death. As I it seemed a lot of guys were copying his IDGAF, YOLO lifestyle.

there's no point being about the gym life if all it's doing is ruining your health.

But his advice generally was pretty old school tbh. Stuff like eat clean, time on = time off etc. + plenty of broscience staples like vacuums

He was very entertaining but his life was all smoke and mirrors from his fake body to his fake "wealthy" lifestyle.

Eating pints of Ben & Jerry's and fast food everyday is not eating clean.  Being 260+ pounds is not healthy for anyone, it doesn't matter how tall you are or how wide your frame is.  Rich was fake and his life was fake.  I knew he would crash and burn eventually.  "Someday you may"... kill yourself.

if you don't think that joe weider invented this principle you better think some more

[robcguns]

Yes they are nice and sore and staying pumped which I love.just did them again this time with reverse curls and underhand grip skulls.Felt great once you hit 75-80 it’s like you are on fire.

it is so smart to change up your work outs.

very soon I will be going to heavy duty style training with a personal trainer and I expect to make some crazy gains as I prep for nationals in Vegas.  

some of the best gains Ive ever made when I took a break from bbing and trained with powerlifters -

yes feeders have been around for long time.  

The Bulgarian method is similar. you take 1 arm exercise and (say barbell curl) and do 1 extreme set to failure every day - 100% failure of a set everyday for 3 months, different arm exercise till failure everyday.

rich piana really didnt do anything like Boston loyd did and give out doses and etc. rich really talked about EAT BIG, EAT EAT EAT. he didnt talk too much the dark side as one would suspect - mainly old school  training tips.

yeah, from what I remember his actual advice was old school early 00s bodybuilding forum advice like.

what he did daily wasn't what he advised on his vids, that's why he used to bust out the classic "busted" lmao.

I am SORE. 

[Skeletor]

It seems feeder workouts are effective for the neck as well. George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher has been doing them for decades.

[ratherbebig]

i wonder if i could get away with just doing 99 reps

[Tapeworm]

Last time I did high rep curls I got wicked tendonitis.  Just me?
