Some things that worked for me:

Armpit rows (DB from side to pit)
High DB lateral raises (go above shoulder, experiment a bit to find nice trap contraction)
Behind the back BB shrugs (best...

Dude, TrippleA you make things so unnecessarily complicated with all those rules.

I'll simplify:

1. Get enough calories
2. Get enough protein
3. Get enough vital nutrients (multivitamin +...

Try cable curls if you haven't. Either high pulley towards you (like making a back double bi) or low pulley up (like traditional curls), both single handed and two handed. A massive drop set down the...

Not in China, where Japanese war crimes hit closer to home (ex. "The Men Behind The Sun").

And I don't think a German child born today owes anything to Israel or the Jewish people.

Don't neglect triceps! They make up the majority of the arm. The following link shows people who made the mistake of only working biceps: (warning - horrible aesthetics)...

As others have said, you may not be hitting yourself with enough volume.

You might also want to change exercise selection. Everyone on this forum spams the same **** about how x or y or whatever...

I would alternate between military press and bench for push day, and between deadlifts (heavy) and rows for pull day (not both on same day). And switch the pulldowns for pullups.

Train specifically for endurance.

Edit: ie. higher reps; less rest; exercises like stationary resistance bike, which just puts the calves under tension for a very long period of time and you can...

You are right, there is no point to doing push/pull if you aren't going to judge on push/pull, but on body part, you just turn it into a body part split then.

You don't have to do too many...

Nobody has ever been able to predict or define the human limit. Records are still being broken, untapped potential lies among the countless billions of humanity, each a unique phenomenon in the...

This is true. Some people do push/pull/legs, but if you want a 2-day exercise cycle, you put pushing exercises on push day and pulling exercises on pull day. So squats, calf raises, leg press, etc......

It depends on a lot of things, but no rest days is definitely too few.

If you are stronger, generally you need more rest days to recover. A noob benching 100lbs can hit it every other day and make...

Something that helped me with regards to weighted chins was using heavier weight and less reps. Something like 6x2. It makes a much more dramatic difference when you switch back to BW; you feel so...

If you eat something else instead and become full, after you are full you won't look back and regret having had the broccoli instead of the ice cream.

A week of rest for arms is too much unless you are moving some very heavy weight.

Edit: Keep in mind your split. Hitting arms hard on Thursday will probably accelerate your growth, but don't count...

It depends on experience. An absolute beginner can gain about 2lbs of muscle per week naturally. Experienced lifters are lucky to get 5lbs a year.

If you can do 3x5 now, start adding weight.

Add weight for a 3 rep max (5lb-10lb DB probably, but more or less depending on your weight, hold between ankles), and do 6x2. Do 6x2 during your 3...

Mind is blown.

Generally, no. Tall people date other tall people.

If you want happiness in life, don't fall in love with someone taller than you. It's not worth it.

I am 5.8 also and when I was cutting I lost weight on 1600 to 1800 a day (I aimed for 1750, but frequently went over, although I do a lot of walking). If you feel fine you are probably safe. If your...
