10lb = 1 inch?

[catlovesfood]

For every 10lb of lean muscle is it usual to gain an inch on the arms? Or is more like 20lbs?

No way to put a figure to that relating to body weight. Depends on your bi/tri routine. Depends on the type of muscle bellies you have. Depends on your genetics.

Concentrate on a proper tricep routine. That is 2/3's of your arm mass. A lot of newbies just do curls and not tris and wonder why their arms won't grow. Hit bi and tris hard and they will grow. I just put a inch on my arms in the last month and a half. Not that big of a deal since it was muscle memory, so they basically just came back. I still go by Arnold's theory of basic power movements for bis. I use barbell curls starting with 25's then add 10 for 35's a side and do good, strict reps. Then go to the nautlis curl machine and burn it out. I also switch in single arm dumbells and cables so I don't do the same routine. Shock it.

I have a quote from arnold that says 10lbs need for every 1/2 inch you want of growth on biceps. He said he wanted an extra inch so he gained 20lbs to get it.

Come to think of it if it worked for your dick growing too that might explain ron jeremy.. Fat bastard... And he gets mad ass...LOL
