Big Framed Members

[Cardinal Slin]

I am 6 foot + and currently weighing in around 260lbs.

Although I have built a solid back, wide shoulders and am quite lean now at around 13% my chest is still not filled out and my arms dont look big at all unless I am flexing them or have my elbow at a 90 degree angle.

It sometimes gets quite frustrating that I am busting my balls off in the gym and am gaining weight quite nicely but still it is not very apparent in terms of filling out my muscles.

To all you big framed members, do you train differently when on cycle or is there anything different you do to help fill your frame out?

I know I have added photos but please don't place this on the photo forum - it never gets viewed and my post is trying to get insight from big framed peeps when on cycle.

dude it takes a long time to fill out your arms if you are tall and not a genetic freak, I'm 6 3 and my arms are 19 1/2 " cold now and I gotta say when they are down by my side they look very weak...very frustrating. Im in the Omega project,He has helped a great deal with this.My arms were 18 3/4 a month ago. and just cus Im not satisfied with their size doent mean they are not big.
I saw my sister for the first time in like 2 1/2 months this week and she said I looked like a cartoon.. just goes to show what others see isnt exactly what you see in the mirror....Talk to Omega he can put you on the road to fix ANYTHING

This is the exact problem I have

I am almost in identical situation than you. If I was 6 foot nothing more, I would look huge, unfortunately I am taller and it's so annoying

Not only good job omega but good job bentoverrow. Afterall he is the one who killed himself in the gym to get those results.

I can relate!

Dude, I am pretty wide up top - my back and traps are spread out toward my delts so it makes my chest and arms look smaller.

The only solution - get a bigger chest. While the shape and cut of your chest is genetic, you can get a SICK routine from OMEGA that will fill it out. Honestly since I've worked with him my chest has been filling out nicely.

You're going to have to work chest twice per week. Strict focus and slow, concentrated movement. Forget flat bench and leave the ego at the door - you're going to start with lighter weight...just talk to him.

Luckily my arms have been growing - I honestly think it's because I've been bashing the shit out of my legs. Besides that I work bis and tris together - 8-12 rep range with the following routine:

Standing hammer curls, V-bar cable pushdowns, reverse grip pushdowns (using straight bar palms facing up to hit inside tricep head), then seated incline hammer curls, reverse grip cable curls (palms facing down), preachers, overhead dumbbell press, close grip bench, body drag curls, then finally dips

This is the thing, back in the day I would always go for 160kg benches with no form. Now i'd rather stick to the 60-100kg range and go with perfect form, no messing, no ancillary muscles etc.

I will always go for form over weight. I used to lift heavy but I came to realise my best workouts came from lower weight but stricter form.

I guess I'll speak with Omega and see what we can do.

How much do the consultations cost?

Thanks

Omega is awesome.

I find it is always a good idea to hire a trainer/coach if you take your training seriously.

A coach will give you a routine and exercises that you may not have thought of or not wanted to do.

It offers other perspectives on training and helps you to break through plateaus.
