tall guys: do you find it hard gain muscle on your arms?

[wilthompson]

I am an ectomorph (just wanted to put that out there). I have managed to bulk up quite a lot but most of this weight has given me a solid chest, waist and thighs, but i havnt been able to put on much on my arms. This may be because i am following an incorrect weight training program, but it has worked for every other body part so i am inclined to think it has something to do with my height. Has anyone else found this (assuming you are also tall)?

no.

I see your 6' 5" i am only 6' but i am very lanky. I have to work hard to get gain in my arms, and my legs NEVER seem to gain mucsle no matter how hard I work them

[Josh81]

nope,arms used to be flat and now there is a lot of visible definition

my legs aren't don't really show definition though, but i have long legs

[kvkx111]

No.


Although for most taller peps it's harder to gain mass on the arms but just stick with it the mass will come and once it does it'll look that much better. And also don't concentrate as much on arms do more compounds pull up,s dips, deads, rows, etc.

He's not here yet.

Even tallguy has trouble gaining mass, he just has no trouble gaining strength :P

[Demon-seven]

No my whole core builds easy

[diveman33]

Nah..

[ThatArmyKid]

its harder for tall guys to fill out and notice gains since we have long limbs

but my arms are gaining muscle in proportion to the rest of my body so no its not hard (for me atleast)
