I gained +2 inches at the current bodyweight doing this for arms specifically, but on top of my usual programming for PL. And I should probably add that I started training dips regularly in the last year or so. But doing myoreps or a 2-3 hard sets with one taken to failure is the only way I can mostly stick to doing my arm work after all the main stuff.DCR wrote: ↑Fri Sep 01, 2023 6:53 amWhen you say “now,” did you gain the +2 inches doing this, or did you do something else and now you’re maintaining the size doing this?ChasingCurls69 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 31, 2023 10:47 pmWhat the other guys said about bodybuilding stuff, but probably just arm stuff. I had similar experiences, and the difference in how people perceive me at the same low bodyweight but +2 inches to arms is weirdly different. I just do myoreps or 2-3 straight sets with the last set taken to failure 1-2x/week now.
Assuming this, also curious, what movements and how much more weight in your preferred rep ranges are you lifting now versus pre-growth explosion?
Last time I weighed 190 in like 2018, I did my first PL meet and squatted 342, benched 209, deadlifted 530. Currently at 190 I've squatted 419, benched 265 in the gym, and deadlifted 635. My arms are bigger now than they were when I was 20lbs heavier, and all my lifts are stronger now than when I was heavier, but slightly less than earlier this year when I was 195-198.
Also just realized after writing all that, that you probs meant preferred arm movements. Dips went from 10-11 BW reps to +55lbs x8, 14 paused reps with BW. DB Lying Triceps extensions went from 35x10-12 with two DBs, to one DB in the middle at 85x13. Incline DB curls went from 20x15 to 30x15, hammer curls went from 30x10 to 40x10. I suck ass at DB overhead triceps and do like 30lbs x12-15 reps but it gives a good stimulus.
