Help Arm training

[Scott Stevenson]

Hi Scott,

Just finished my first blast of 6 weeks basic tier II and coming to the end of my 2 week intensive cruise.

Looking back I have made some great progress in terms of muscle size with everything except arms. My arms in fact have actually lost size, possibly 1/2 an inch even though I have been doing everything correct, progressively overloading and applying and progressing the relevant stretches.

My question being would it be silly to incorporate additional loading sets for arms on day 2? Say 1 for each (biceps/triceps). I feel that maybe the loss in size has come down to the fact that they are not getting stimulated enough in regards to loading and that the inclusion of these additional sets could help grow.

Just so you know both back and chest exercises are being done using these muscles only and I am not engaging arms (secondary muscles) in either of these if you know what I mean ?

Thanks.

This is the first time that I can recall hearing someone say this.

How much weight did you gain?... (Did you get leaner?...)

Were you using heavy compounds like Rack deads, BO rows for back and barbell presses for your chest and shoulder Compound exercises?...

Have you made your pump sets into absolute and pure torture?...
