Anyone try any "add an inch to your arms" routine?

[billy17425]

ive seen these a lot in magazines and you see them on the internet all the time... just curious whats the whole theory behind this....ive heard people say it works and some say it just swells for a day or two....so what do you think of all this.

If you have no idea what im talking about just google...add an inch to your arms

 

[ironcheif1984]

there was a video floating around somewhere ill see if i can find it for you. It look pretty serious but the workout takes all fucking day long lol.

 

[chazk]

it is based on arnolds Idea from his book.
Find your weakest body parts and do one set every hour the day before a contest.
He claimed to do it with biceps and calves.

One full out set till failure. Then do it agian every hour.
He claimed it makes the muscle swell as if it was injured similar to a giant bruise or a twisted ankle.

So the idea has been around for a long time.
the new version is doing bi's a tri's like every hour with food and amino acids inbetween.
I would say go for it if you have a home gym but to hang in the gym all day one day on a sunday .Guys might think your a homo looking for man meat or something,

LOL thats funny i know i wouldnt sit at a local gym all day long just doing arms in fear of looking like a moron plus you woudlt be able to eat the meals in between each workout like it calls for. The new way also tells you to not workout for 4 days prior to this workout and eat like a beast.

So let's hear some alternative routines to build up arms... I'm kinda going nuts trying to find one that works.... 12-15 reps, lighter weights? 6-8 reps, heavier weights? no more than 9 sets for bi's and 12 for tri's? I've been hearing all kinds of routines, each of them different....and yah, I know...different strokes for different folks.... I guess I'd like to hear some theory behind why a recommended routine should work

I would like to know also. I feel like my biceps are lagging on me i feel they need to peak a bit more but i cant get them to grow. Recently i have been trying to go heavy with lower reps. I have been switching it up to try and keep them guessing but i dont know.

Good point. I hear good things about the "synthol" routine. The best part is you don't even need to workout!

Actually, I'm considering synthol for my calves. Shitty genetics suck. But I think the majority of people who use synthol consider Valentino a joke... I just got interested in the stuff within the last few months, and I'm changing my original impression on it fairly quickly. It looks like good stuff for genetically lagging parts.

i wanna do it in my calves too but it must hurt like a mother to stick a needle in ur calf

No it does not hurt that much, but then you have to have a bit of meat to inject into. Use max 1" or even a slin pin is handy to deliver a ml of gear into those small muscle parts.

Synthol effects only last for 2 weeks, normally used pre contest for kicking lagging BPs into shape.

On the contrary.. they're supposed to leave permanent results. Inflammation goes down but apparently that's only 10-15% of the gained size. Take a look at the link:

Are you serious guys? fuck synthol. That stuff is total shit. anyone seriously considering synthol is a total idiot. don't do it.

Agreed - f-that! So back to my original question, post up some suggestions on some sure-fire ways to increase arm-size...not just tri's either

I was reading that biceps respond well to 12-15 rep range....then a buddy of mine who knows a few trainers & guys who compete told me to go heavy and keep reps in the 6-8 range (as well as all other muscle groups)...not sure if I buy that

I did both the "add 2 inches to your chest and add 1" to your arms" routines. The chest one took like 5 hrs and the arms about 4. I added 1 3/4 to my chest that day and kept almost 1. The arm one added 1 1/4 day of and kept 1/2. They worked for me but kicked my ass. I couldn't do chest for a week!

incorporate fascia stretching into your routine.

been using this with posing, a 1 - 2 combo. great results.

for arm routines check out charles poliquin, winning the arms race.

you realize to add inches to any part of your body you have to add equal amounts everywhere? which means a sizable gain in weight. there is no way you added an inch to your chest in 1 week. that would mean at least a 5 to 7 pound gain in muscle. not happening.

 

[pappad]

Has anyone injected their pecker? Not that I need it, but some may want to plump up a bit!

 

[broganlikehogan]

i gained a 1 1/4 from deca and test cycle

Ok, well then don't try it and you don't have to worry about it. I know what my results were. I won't say I didn't feel like a complete idiot walking into the gym with my cooler of food to eat during down time but it worked for me. This was in the early stages of my gym life as well.
