yes some of us have trouble gaining mass. i'm diabetic, it complicates things.


Just Arms.

My strength goes up- just not much size difference.


And i do isolation exercises already. I...

Hey there,
No matter how hard I try it seems that my arms just don't grow in proportion to the rest of my body. It is very frustrating. I do all the big compound lifts- deadlifts, bench, squats,...

you're lucky every time i try to wear it on my ass I get occlusions.

what pump did you use? PM me! :D

any diabetics here have trouble wearing pumps because of leanness/ muscles?

Hello there,
I've reach Lyle Mcdonald's Article on genetic Muscular Potential -- http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/muscle-gain/whats-my-genetic-muscular-potential.html

how can you be sure the fat gains are from the insulin and not the caloric surplus?

must be nice

thanks, this says one should be about 10-12% bf before bulking.

I've been lifting regularly for 4 years now.. although i never looked at my diet until this past year.
So this article says that i'm pretty much screwed for muscle mass now.

Hey,
Not sure if this is the right forum. So why would one continue to get stronger and be able to lift more but not seem to be gaining any muscle size or anything. Is it a matter of calories? Or is...

Awesome man! very inspiring! I wish i could transform myself that much! Ps nice to see a fellow marylander

You're muscles don't need that much stimulation, it's essentially a waste and increase chance of injury. Not to mention you don't want your body hugely out of proportion.

And you have to lift...

Well, What are your goals? You probably really don't need that much. If you feel like you need more maybe you need to lift heavier or add in an extra set per exercise.
I would personally alternate...

yeah i want to add some more mass.
