Dammnit Scott that last paragraph makes so much sense.

I try!

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.

There is true to both of these sentences, but the long haul is where the gains come.

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]

I think as long as you can recovery, then you can progress, but YOUR final paragraph below is the kicker, IMO:

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

Have you seen this?...
