Why both? Hypertrophy is systemic.
And if your lacking some thickness, I hear that wrapping a fat grip round the ole fella bumps up the forearm growthā¦ My uh mate told meā¦
isnāt that essentially a fleshlight?
OH MY GOD FATGRIPZ ARE JUST FLESHLIGHTS
I canāt deal with how hilarious that is
Fuck all yāall. Really great phrase.
Iām glad this thread spiraled into its current state.
2 g test e every week
Can that be plunged straight down the pee pipe?
Pssst just shorten the rest periods. Itās all about TUT and MMC.
MMC is crucial! Makes it all pumped up and veinyā¦ Oh wait, are you talking about arms still?
I usually am 4-6 inches larger wth a pump.
im a grower, not a showāer
I think thatās one muscle that nobody has trouble getting an MMC with
Just following Wendlerās advice. Anyway Iāll restate my point to clarify what my op meant.
Food + Upper body work - Squats = arm growth was pretty bad
Food + Upper body work + Squats = ok arm growth
Iāll stop shitting on the thread with my opinion now.
Iām also fully aware my bulks been successful flip lol.
Hugh could just have the arm genetics of a god and we will never knowā¦ seriously everyone dont argue like be happy . Yall needa go deadlift and release some inner rage
Nope, just short and heavy which means large circumference. Flips got 4 inches of height on me and weighs a bit less. Obviously my arms would be larger (fatter) due to this. Nothing special about me.
And year and years of training and to be honest your arms cant be 18 inches if his arent
honestly, given the fact that heās 4 inches shorter than me AND heavier, that means heās carrying quite a bit of fat (since his lifts are so much lower than mine, I have to assume this), and fat arms are big arms, lol. They might actually measure that big.
People, including myself when I started, just donāt really understand how big an 18" LEAN arm is. The fact that a Mr Olympia winner had 18" arms, if that, tells you what you need to know, as mentioned above. Thatās fucking huge. It sucks because we were mislead during the Arnold Era, along with pro wrestlers being a bunch of liars, to believe that 20-22" arms were the gold standard. You can be MUCH smaller than this and be massive as compared to the rest of humanity.
Haha fucking lol
Correct assumptions. If I had 18 inch lean arms that would be a different story. Thatād be impressive. Just regular old fatceps for me.
I had 18.5" arms tooā¦ then I lost 60lbs of fatā¦ All I was left with was just under 16.5" arms. Iām sure Iād lose another half inch if I got as lean as Flip or Rob.
The tape ia supposed to be loose when I measure them for the Internet as well, correct?
Truth.
Back in the 1930s, a lean 15-inch arm was pretty rare (even though many people in general didnāt train). Sig Klein, who ran a famous gym in New York, had it as a benchmark and kept track of the few members who made it into the āmythical organizationā. Pretty sure most current gyms could do the same thing and have a sadly short list, too.
