Destined to have small arms

**Nismo** · 03-04-2008, 01:01 PM

I know that this has been brought up many and many times but I am just so Fvcken tired of it. My Fvcken arms dont grow, especially my bis. I have tried everything, increased cal intake, slow concentrating reps, low intensity high volume, low volime high intensity!!! NOTHING WORKS!!!

I'm not a small, but then again I'm not huge!!! I weigh 205 at 6ft 13% BF. My chest, back and shoulders are good but I have little @ss arms. Flexed they are about 171/2 inches. Please please help!!! It makes me not even want to go to the gym anymore, I am seriously begging for some advice here. PLEASE!!!!!!

17 1/2 isnt that small, dude I weigh the same as you, about the same bodyfat, I can get in the gym and bench 350lbs. guess what though my "F'in" arms are only 15 1/2!!!

Don't be so critical of yourself bro!

They look so fvcken small man. There some cats at the gym that have huge @ss arms and there form is all fvcked up. I'm starting to think that form isnt everything, I'm tired of using "light" weight and doing the form right and not having the same arms they do. Not only that but they are a lot smaller then I am. Please some more advice. And thanks for the morale booster Aaron, I really appreciate it man, seriously I do.

**nbkandrew13** · 03-04-2008, 06:21 PM

my arms were stuck for awhile and someone told me add in bloody sevens, now they be grownn

**Oki-Des** · 03-04-2008, 06:32 PM

Hang in there man. They will grow.

**Ronnie Rowland** · 03-04-2008, 08:57 PM

It sounds like genetics.

Personally, I would never use site enhancing oils, but I know of some who have and it made their arms bigger.

I feel your pain bro, the only reason my arms are even as big as they are is cuz my tris grow pretty easy, I feel the same way about good form and all of that. Actually I've been cheating alittle bit but doing a lot heavier weights, seems to have made some improvement, I don't notice too much size diff. but my bis are twice as strong as they used to be by doing this, another good way Arnold suggested was...

db curls, go real heavy so you have to cheat to get em up, then just bring em back down as slow as possible

good luck man!

Just throwing this out there:

do you do exercises for the branchialis (like hammers and rvs grip curls)?

My bis refused to grow until I started workin the branchialis... a bottle neck/ weakest link kind of situation

Yeah I started doing those aswell but I still see no results. I don't understand what the freakin deal is. Can't stand it!

**M302_Imola** · 03-05-2008, 11:03 AM

Genetics!!! I hate to say it because I suffer from the same problem!

**AaronJM1984** · 03-05-2008, 01:04 PM

Isn't there anything that can be site injected? I remember reading something like that, maybe it was IGF??

Bloody sevens, take a barbell, start off light, stand up straight, bring the bar up bottom half way x 7, then top half x 7, then a full rep motion x 7.... Then puke.. Its hell!...but works.

**BabyGravy** · 03-06-2008, 08:47 AM

yup, i have to agree with El Diablo there.... I started doing Sevens and the results are amazing. it burns like something ive never felt before but sooooo worth it.

**AaronJM1984** · 03-06-2008, 10:09 AM

You think sevens are tough, you should try 30's
3 continous sets of 10 (no rest)
full rep
overhand x 10reps
underhand x 10reps
underhand widegrip x 10reps

I rep around 100lbs. doing BB curls, but with these I can only lift about 55lbs. in order to complete the set(s)

Down south we call those 21's. Def. I good way to shock the bi's!

**Mr Tick** · 03-06-2008, 08:26 PM

What else do you do with the 7's or is that the whole bi exercise?

**Nismo** · 03-09-2008, 06:07 AM

I think that would be the whole excersise, cause after that I think you would hit muscle failure.

**mousetraps** · 03-15-2008, 09:46 AM

diet

**njmollohan** · 03-27-2008, 09:58 AM

Nismo what the hell man. I have seen your arms dude. I wish I could get mine like yours. It's like you told me. Your muscles are going to look smaller to you because you look at them everyday. By the way dude that workout program you helped me with to put on mass is great. I finally feel a burn in each muscle that I work instead of just some muscles. But back to the subject..... your arms are huge in my opinion dude, but that's just me talking.

**MFT81** · 03-28-2008, 10:22 AM

You know its interesting that you mention others with huge arms have no form and that you think that form isnt as important. Im sure you've heard of arnolds idea on cheat reps. have you done these. its a great idea. Try looseing up your form for your first exercise like barbell curls. use a heavy wt, cheat to get it up but make sure the neg is strict and under control.....

BTW 17 1/2 isnt small you just suffer from bigerexia just like everyone else on the board.

**Castradomus** · 03-29-2008, 06:30 PM

another good shocker is, when you do one slow rep, hand the weight off to a friend, he does one rep, then you do two reps, and so on until you get to 15 and then back down again.

**Castradomus** · 03-29-2008, 06:32 PM

or slow chin ups, taking about 30 seconds to do one.

Hahaha thanks man!

**theincredible1** · 03-30-2008, 06:07 PM

muscle growth takes time and consistency.. i have been very consistent with weight lifting over the past year and a half and had great gains naturally.

Yeah in prison I learned this exercise as 21's as well (dont ask) hahaha

Just fvcked up my bicep tendon doin them yesterday too

advice: if you do these at the end of a grueling arm workout - i cant stress the importance of form here. Remember - you are fatigued already - you will be more apt to incorporate connective tissue to make up for it. dont.

excellent finisher tho...

just my 2

**Nismo** · 04-07-2008, 03:48 AM

Thanks brosif

If they are really 17 1/2 they aren't small at all, expecially at 205lbs.
Believe me, there someone else that is way less lucky than you with arms.

**Nismo** · 04-07-2008, 04:48 AM

Thanks for the moral booster Chuck, people tell me that my arms arent small but I feel like they are tiny. Maybe cause the guy I lift with has freakin huge @ss arms, he makes me feel small. Thanks again man.
