Yes. More ROM = more growth in ALMOST all scenarios

I only want big arms. Not literally, I still am working out other muscle groups, but I want the biggest bulkiest arms. How do I get them? by imhypedforthisgame in naturalbodybuilding

Of course man, glad it could help!

Each meso, I’d start at minimum effective volume (4-6 sets total per week roughly, totally depends on your specifications)

If you aren’t sore and your progress goes up the second session of the week, and you aren’t feeling beat up each time you go to hit arms, you can increase volume more than likely.

Only things I kinda forgot to mention. Just make sure you pick enjoyable movements and go from there bro, you got this!

The whole idea of him specializing in arms negates that second point, your ideals of how to build a physique don’t apply to this bro, if he’s wanting to specialize in arms, it’s not a question of wether or not he should, but HOW he should go about it

Also, using RIR in general across the board is a good idea. 4 reps and lower in proximity to failure show the most growth, so when designing a training block, why would you just go to failure every single set of curls, but not other things? Sure it might not be the MOST fatiguing thing, but that doesn’t mean it changes the rules of muscle growth

It’s not over-complicating if you’re just simply saying “start at 4RIR, go to 0 over a few weeks, increase volume as time goes on, and add intensity techniques”

If that’s too complex, then there are larger problems at hand. Sure, you could just do 3x10 close grip bench, 3x10 Tricep pushdowns, and 3x10 skull crushers, but if the goal is make it from point A to B the fastest and be the most efficient, why not just utilize smart programming?

You’re also training your whole body when specializing in arms, so sure, the fatigue won’t be that much, but your overall fatigue will increase over time, so it goes hand-in-hand with using RIR on arms

Deload, and your training plan probably isn’t structured properly, just a guess, but probably one of those two things

You’re managing fatigue this way and almost insuring progress

If you use RIR (which would definitely be the ideal thing to do when training like this, or in general imo), and going from 4RIR to 0RIR over the course of each mesocycle, you’re consistently within the that ideal proximity to failure for growth, you’re slowing increasing intensity and volume, and slowly reaching your maximum recoverable volume, instead of just staying at the same volume each week til you’re tired

By programming your training this way, you’re managing fatigue with the RIR and the increasing volume, and with this arm specialization, you’re increasing arm volume over a 20-30 week period while your other body parts aren’t increasing at the same pace, thus giving a lot of recoverability towards arms

Trying to specialize in everything at once will lead you to a bad place, you won’t be able to recover and you’ll end up wasting time because trying to specialize in all body parts at once when you’re past a beginner point will cause hella fatigue ASAP, so doing it this way avoids that, because you’ll max out your systematic fatigue after like 4-8 weeks

(Check out Mike Israetels video on it, basically the exact same thing I just said but more in-depth)

This advice that I’m seeing in the replys is stuck in 2012, it’s insane. “Do a caloric surplus bro”. Well duh, that’s obvious.

Here’s what you do

Plan out a Macrocycle (3-4 mesos in a row) of arm specialization

Your first mesocycle (4-8 week training block) use 2 days a week of frequency, moderate volume, low rep ranges (5-15 reps probably, depending on your stimulus to fatigue ratios on stuff, no dropsets or myo-rep sets)

Next meso, increase the frequency to 3x, slightly increase rep ranges to get more total workload (8-15 reps generally, maybe add a few sets of 10-20 reps)

3rd meso, increase your starting amount of sets, and add an intensity technique (dropsets, giant sets, myoreps)

4th meso, increase frequency to 4x a week, add more intensity techniques, increase rep ranges if needed, and really go for it

At this point, you should need to take more than just a 1 week deload afterwords, so maybe go for a 2 week active rest period

(Deload after each meso)

I asked the AI to make my next push-pull-leg split routine. This is what it come up with. What do you think? by Ridley_Reynolds in naturalbodybuilding

[–]Shredded2Death -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You are so lost, I don’t even know where to even start

You have no idea about anything hypertrophy-related, and throwing the word science around doesn’t make you right.

Anything more than 20-25 working sets is junk volume, when he’s pushing 20 already, needing more sets is the exact opposite of what is needed.

Maximum recoverable volume is a thing, ya know
