    workout program issues - arms shrinking

    my arms are shrinking to just around 15inches when they used to be around 15.4 inches... i have no idea why and ill post what i eat and train...

    chest bis
    legs abs
    off
    back tris
    shoulders (arms sometimes on this day)
    off
    then repeat

    My nutrition is usually this

    morning - 3 eggs 2 pieces toast handful almonds
    1.5hrs later - Myofusion shake
    workout
    myofusion shake, cliff protien bar
    2 hours later - chicken rice or fish and mash potatoes with cucumber
    2 hours later - anything i can find that equal 30g protein and over 400cal. Always stay away from sugar if i can for it and junk.
    before bed - myofusion shake


    sometimes i had an extra meal b4 workout which is pasta... never measure tho but with meat sauce to add protein

    i am just under 6ft weighing around 190. I bench 225 x8 and squat 315x6... i work my legs as i know thats a big success in overall weight gaining. Just recently my arms are shrinking. They used to be around 15.4inches... now just hovering around 15. I have no idea why. I am pretty lanky so it takes a while for my arms to grow.

    any suggestions?

    You need to eat more. That's my 2 cents anyway. If you're at about 6 ft and 190 and you're lanky you need to eat more. No workout will work if you don't give your body the building blocks.

    i used to fight so i was averaging 4000cal a day... that stopped 2 years ago and i lowered to about 3000, thats what ive been eating now and its been working till just last month. I have still gotten strength just not the mass anymore... so ya maybe the food is the issue

    What is your body fat? Could just be burning fat and getting more cut. The food could be another issue or if you don't change your routine up, your body has full adapted to the workout.

    Maybe what you were doing previously works better for your arms than what you're currently doing.
