No.

Bench rows pull-ups ohp are not arm exercises. You should be doing everything possible to limit engagement of your arms during those exercises

The problem with people like you is you give away your mental midget status as soon as you post. You say 'no one' as if you're capable of speaking on behalf of everyone, and that sort of ignorance is telling about your character. And then you say 'all he does', talking about poisoning the forum and so on, yet (as you can tell) he has over 1 million reps meaning that most here seem to have a fairly good opinion of him.

In sum: you're obviously mad - perhaps taking a break from the Misc would help boost your mental health.

Hope this helps.

Here for blacksupermans tips and tricks

Dude is cut like diamonds
"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

I'll be honest, I don't know that I even care to get them up to 17. Seems like that'd just be massive.

But like you, mine have stalled out for a long time.

Don't bother. You have a lot of people being nice to him because of reps. Dude is not very smart for his Age.

get really strong at barbell curls and weighted chin ups srs, treat them like a main compound movement, do sets of 5, 8, 12, 20, etc I've even went as low as sets of 3.

do the curls strict with full range of motion, however to avoid tendonitis you should mix in hammer curls or use neutral grip with a triceps bar

work them at least 3-4x a week. I prefer barbells as you can overload the movement more but you can mix in some dumbbells.

but also don't forget triceps, they make up most of your arm size, heavy skullcrushers seem to have worked for me too, but am only at 16.5 at the moment at 5'10


cliffs: basically get strong af on barbell curls and skullcrushers, if you can do 135 lbs for reps both of these your arms will prob be impressive given a low enough BF%

I don't really give a shyt, but I've seen the guy get super defensive numerous times when the OJ use is brought up.

Yeah it doesn't negate the hard work put in, but also lol at always trying to act like its irrelevant.

Yea.
And if you considet two twins. One is natty, the other is not. And they both eat the same macros, put in the same amount of hours of work in the gym.
It's pretty obvious who is gonna look better. Not hating, not defending the use. It is just the way it is.

Because only on the misc do *******s bring it up to try and take away from other's accomplishments when anyone with an IQ over 5 knows it comes with the territory.

It's unfortunately probably genetics brah :/

Everyone is different, but for me, biceps seem to love intensity. I used to do them three times a week, HIT-style, two working sets with forced reps and negatives until I had nothing left.

My triceps, on the other hand only respond to volume. Two days isolated a week with about 12 sets and compound twice week with chest.

That’s something most people never learn for some reason. That different muscles respond best to different types of stimuli.

I could do heavy sets of 5-8 and my chest will explode. Heavy sets of 5-8 and my shoulders will shrivel up.

The same can be said for training in the gym, they're all requirements for this thing called bodybuilding.

He squatted 2x what I did and at no point did he come off as arrogant or superior. Shrug, maybe he doesn't like cry babies

@ OP, I don't have yoog arms, but for some reason every trains them like **** throwing fluffy volume and ****ty reps thinking that will make them grow. Weighted dips and DB preacher with a cable variation is about most people need. Not 30 set arm workouts lolol

Not technically in the manlet club but, mine shrunk to buttery sticks when I had 3 shoulder repairs following a bicep tear.

They only started to come back when I ate like a pig and doubled my creatine dose, plus 10 sets of high rep, to failure pushdowns on push day, and 10 sets of high rep curls on pull day.

Scared that my left arm will always look Jason Blahahish after all the surgeries tho
