FT Questions....

[thethinker48]

Sorry I missed this Question.

So, just don't do a high a rep Pump set - there is a rep range there for a reason.

IT sounds like you're hitting your biceps a bit during your back training, so there could be an issue there.

Also, you seem to be saying that what you're seeing over the course of a week will translate into the distant future.

Do you think, even if your biceps look "flat" for a few days that if you have increased the loads you are using (on Pump sets or otherwise) for biceps movements over the course of a couple years by 50% that you'll not have larger biceps?...

Dammnit Scott that last paragraph makes so much sense.

I think muscle fullness to me was always a sign of optimal recovery. Consuming 350-450 grams of carbs in the pre, and post workout period should ensure proper glycogen replenishment but not to a muscle group that's been annihilated like that.

I've tried the heavy approach on bis, doing a plate curls, 60-65 lb curls etc but they never grew that well using that approach. They grew a bit from back loads getting heavier and making sure I don't over train them by bombarding them with 25-30 rep torture sets.

Maybe I should slowly add intensity: ie. Do 1 MR for them a week on an exercise I like and progress slowly on that; preferably on a day that's a bit away from heavy back loading days.

If I succeed in making them grow it's a win. If I fail at making them grow, it's a win (that oh so sweet intel) [emoji3]

Gotta remember to drive that bodyweight up too...[emoji31] This is a psychological disorder I tell you
