Getting jacked is fun.

Getting other people jacked is fun-er

Arms cannot really get too big. Think about the last time you saw it…exactly.

Here are some ways I like to help my clients grow them.

1. More underhand pulling movements

This is one way to get some more biceps involved (could be a good or a bad thing, context) without doing curls, and curls, and then more curls.

It’s especially helpful for splits that take advantage of more frequency, and often, less time in the gym. If you have 3-4 days to train, it often doesn’t allow for a ton of isolation work on the biceps.

2. Using exercises that can safely load the biceps or triceps and help with driving strength gains.

Lower rep, easily overloaded exercises are important for the arms too. Just like you want some heavy, lower rep rows in back day, you want some heavy, lower rep work for your arms.

Things like drag curls and close grip bench press make it easy to increase the weight, without jumping a substantial % amount from the last one. (Think 225–>230lb close grip bench press vs 25-30lb single arm overhead extension.)

Much easier to gradually bump the weight up and push that growth vector. Plans with it work better than plans without it.

3. Overhead movements

A lot of meat on that long head of the tricep is the easiest way to fill out the sleeves of your shirt and your front double bicep.

A thick, sweeping long head of the tricep is responsible for much of the look the normies think the bicep is responsible for.

Big biceps with undersized long head look silly. If you start paying attention you’ll see it a lot.

Do some overhead cable extensions, for example, get a pump so insane it feels like you have an overinflated balloon on the back of your arm, and you won’t ever go back to the lame push downs with a few different attachments.

4. Targeting the brachialis

This is pretty well known by now. Sits under the bicep, pushes the bicep out, makes the arms look nice and thick from the front.

Hammer curls. Heavy ones with a nice slow eccentric and a stationary elbow will do.

Of course there are more.

Lots of ways to skin a cat.

But these 4 are great to know, alongside the typical wisdom. Get stronger, progress lifts, get a sick pump, and your arms WILL grow.

Neurotic? I’m not neurotic. I’m just very particular about the extra 1.5g of fat in that slice of cheese.

It’s called TRYING

When something popular doesn’t work for me:

Bad compound, lame compound, no practical use for it.

When something I like doesn’t work for others:

Skill issue, made up ailment, lack of intuition, potential moral failing

The longer I do my job, the less I’ve come to believe in will-power. Or at least, the less I am willing to place my faith solely within it.

Some people are soft. Their mental toughness, their grit, non-existent;

Even if they are a total shark in another realm.

This is not an insult, but an evaluation in earnest.

Some of these people come to me.

Maybe it’s their fault, maybe it isn’t, but it is always a combination of biology and circumstances.

So there is our solution. We need to tweak biology, tweak circumstance, or tweak both, according to priorities.

We play the game in which we need to facilitate will-power.

It’s a hard game.

You can’t control everything.

You can’t white-knuckle everything.

You can’t “just do it” when “it” is totally at odds with your internal and external environments.

The best example is the guy that gets cheated on, gets fired, loses it all, or whatever…and sublimates that pain into becoming a new man forever.

Biologically and environmentally that isn’t even the same person anymore. He thinks differently. He moves differently. He reacts to the same stimuli differently.

This is the importance of all of the self-experimentation and unconventional answers that don’t involve “just ______ bro.”

Because as much as anyone thinks they’ve ever “just did xyz” there was almost certainly a way bigger picture they’ve failed to see.

Permanent change requires either seeing it or not giving up until stumbling upon it.

Embracing the same pain, over and over again, at some point only demoralizes.

And sometimes it’s simple. Sometimes you DO just need to try harder and build momentum, and that will cause a butterfly effect that nudges biology and circumstance into place.

But sometimes the problem is buried so deep that you need radical changes to ever jar it loose, and you have to be open to the possibility that you’re entirely wrong about everything, and that something totally unrelated may be causing it.

That’s where the rogue experimenters, and maybe becoming one, brings tons of value.

Normal ass people with normal ass solutions aren’t going to get you anywhere if they haven’t done so for years.

Bragging about natural status is like bragging about how cheap you got tickets to a women’s basketball game.

There is a non-zero amount of THC that would be optimal for most people.

The problem is, sussing out that amount and scenario, and limiting use accordingly, proves pretty difficult.

All tools in the toolbox.

You get to pick the size of your toolbox.

Some really bad female bodybuilding coaches could charge way more as really good gender affirming care coordinators.

There are confused bitches on a few hundred milligrams of test a week growing really weak beards and armpit hair when we have the drugs to slap a full-sized Chinese piece on them before the next season of House of Dragons drops.

lol love this. I think it’s important for people like us to be in the conversation although the target audience may not be who we specifically work with.

I like to frame it as the high school jock. The societal persona is that he’s an asshole, but nothing could be further from the truth. The geek is always comparing himself to others trying to measure dicks while the jock wants to invite you to the party introduce you to the cheerleaders see if he can get you your first kiss

I look at a weight I gain 20lbs of muscle. If I drop 350kcals I’ll lose 10 lbs in 3 weeks. I want all my brothers to succeed and the quarterback(you) and the tight end(me) having empathy for the band geeks struggles(that aren’t even in our realm of imagination/experience) might just change his life.

Maybe I’m too optimistic
