Do my arms look small?

[nzgs]

Mine are 15", maybe 15.5", look the same or slightly bigger. I don't think your posing or lighting flatters you in those pics.

[DRINKLIFTER]

Maybe start doing a shoulder/arms day twice a week...

inb4 overtraining

[y0lked]

lol idiot

blue print program brah.

[im_Jvo]

i really hope you are no serious.closegrip chins are for the lower lats

Because your biceps are totally not involved in the movement, it's 100% your lats doing the work.

notserious

[jarryd2018]

mine is prolly around that


i bench and overhead press heavy and hit my tris when they are fresh....

It might be the fact that I have lower bf. My arms were about 15.5" when I was in keto. I haven't measured since, but they've pumped up considerably because I was pretty flat then. I'm trying to get them to 16.5-17 by the end of the year.

with pressing and pulling on seperate chest and back days, essentially they get hit nearly 2x per week

anything you do for back your going to feel your biceps ,and just like chest you feel triceps.

[Pastier911]

I think your Lats are the problem OP

Average EMG muscle activation values (%MVIC) were as follows: latissimus dorsi (117-130%), biceps brachii (78-96%)

you should read sometime.

i should probably stop doing bench for chest, i heard its for shoulders and tri's. flies with 20 pound weights will have a stronger effect than a compound.

[DRINKLIFTER]

Listen to what Layne says about training legs twice a week. I feel like it applies perfectly in this situation.



I hope the embedding worked. I'm at the office and I can't see videos.

Also, have you seen the workout templates on exrx.net? They might offer some sort of information maybe. Worth checking out.

arm workout is as above.

Looks pretty good. If you don't already, make sure you focus on the negative contraction just as much as the positive. Don't curl the weight up then just drop it back down the neutral, instead take a good 1.5 seconds on the negative.

Also try adding in either drop sets or super sets....or both, lol.

been working on them more lately. i changed up my pullups to a wider grip and slower, along with keeping my elbows outward.

also been doing pendlay rows instead of barbell rows
