Need program for bigger guns

[joltman]

Ok every male on this board wants bigger guns but my arms are out of proportion with the rest of my chest/torso area.
I train really hard and take my diet seriously so I guess i can blaim it on genetics but anyway....

Anyone outhere that can help me? Im not afraid of pain or bloodshed as long as it takes me where I want to.

B True

Age: mentally im ehmmmm 14 but I guess you mean physical 24

Measurements:
arms: a bit over 17 inches
chest: a bit over 48 inches
waste: 39.5 inches im bulking right now
legs: 28 inches
calves: a bit under 17 inches

Time training: been lifting weights at home since I was 10 years old, but back then it wasnt serious... This time around I have been going to the gym 3-4 times a week for the last 5 years. The last 2 years I have become serious with what I eat. I take supps such as dextrose, ala, creatine, protein, zma but have never done gear or PH.

Ohh... one more thing, my triceps has always responded nice to thoose heavy weights its the biceps that wont grow. Ive tried few reps with heavy weights, many reps with low weights. Focused training, forced, negatives, long rest, no rest at all.... they just wont grow as much as the rest of my body.

 

[d3track]

i'm in the same boat as you, i feel my arms are disproportinate to the rest of my body

a good shocker is 100 rep sets

then again, you may even be overtraining them

 

[JJ from GoodTimes]

sounds like you just need a better routine in terms of the exercises you are doing for biceps.

 

[hellboy]

Your biceps are bigger than your calves. I'd suggest you do some calve raises if you're concerned about proportions.

Not tryin to be a smartass but still...

Program for bigger guns:

The army.

I'd like to know some stats of yours...what is your height/weight/BF?

 

[joltman]

1.84m, 192lbs, I cant give you an exact BF since it was some time since I last did one, but my guess would be around 12-14% as I said im bulking right now.

Here is the most important piece of advice. . .


Keep it simple.

Your goal is to break down muscle tissue, fuel it, and let it rest.

Choose the exercises that recruit the most muscle fibers.

If you want more details. . .let me know.

Big guns to come over night. . building a big-strong physique takes years of hard work and dedication.

 

[vinylgroover I]

In the same boat.

I did find however, that when i started deadlifting seriously, my arms also grew, far more than from any specific arm routine i've tried.

Joltman, what's PH? Do you mean gH?

Your stats are pretty good, but training 3-4 times a week doesn't indicate much. What sort of routine do you follow? How many sets do you do, what kind of form's employed, do you train to legit failure if at all, etc., etc. would really help.

 

[Debaser]

17" arms are rarely out of proportion, unless you're enormous. You think they're too small when you're not 200 lbs yet? Most guys think their arms are underproportioned, because they want to envision themselves having arms ludicrously huge for the rest of their body, like a G.I. Joe action figure...

 

[bigstve12]

not to be rude, maybe if you lost some inches around the midsection, your arms would look bigger. I have same exact measurements as you BUT have a 30in waist...my arms look pretty big

Well I hear you but I already do that.... I have a lot of friends that cant believe that my biceps arent bigger since THEY are following my routine and get great results

I know but I doesnt look fat and as I said im bulking right now.

 

[joltman]

Maybe I should clarify thing a bit... My arms arent out of porprotions if you would compare to some guy of the street. I often get comments on how big my arms are, BUT they arent big enough in a bodybuilding perspective, they need to be bigger to match my chest.

 

[gymtime]

Why don't you tell us what you're currently doing for arms.

 

[joltman]

dumbell curls standing 3*6@ 53lbs
Preacher curl machine 3*6@X lbs
hammer curls standing 3*8@ 47lbs

Tris?

 

[casualbb]

39 sounds like a pretty big waist measurement at 12-14%...

I'm around 11 or 12% and I have a 30.5 inch waist and can see all abs...

Maybe you should try the cutting thing. Also, I'm sure PH's would make your arms explode if you wanted to try them.

Read my last post :/ it should be 33 inches

Tris?

Tris isnt a problem, they come out huge compared to my biceps, Im ill right now, the flu, but in week or so I can post a picture and youll see what I mean.

 

[nsashbl01]

Good tri's allways seem to make arms look better than big bi's. I had a friend that had huge tri's and normal bi's. My bi's flexed were way bigger than his, but his arms looked better when he was relaxed. Just my .02

Prohormones! Of course *slaps forehead* I always forget about those buggers.

Poundage-wise that's pretty good, but it still doesn't indicate much my good Joltman

I'd have to see your biceps training in context; i.e., understand what the rest of your routine looks like.

If, for example, on back day you did a similar volume of chins, pull-ups or pulldowns, it could be that your biceps are simply overtrained.

Looking at your biceps workout strictly in isolation, I'd say that's likely anyway. 9 hard sets is quite a lot to recover from, even if you only did it once a week.

The key to all this is progressively greater poundages. Since I don't have DBs that go up in 2.5 lb. increments, I like barbell curls for moving up in weight slow and steady.

I think it'd also serve progression if you did two exercises for only two hard sets apiece. You have to give yourself some time to recover, which 9 hard sets really doesn't.

Better yet, I think one very hard set of biceps twice a week would do the trick. It might not sound like any work at all, but if you do the curls DC style--8 to 10 reps to failure, then rest-pausing more reps after two short breaks to take in 10-15 deep breaths--you will curse my name

The possibilities are endless.
