First blast! Any tips/recomendations are welcome

You hit on the reasons, essentially.

• "RISK:" Heavy arm training very often leads to tendonitis / overuse injuries.

• "FREQUENCY:" Arms are hit quite a bit during chest, back, shoulders and even leg training. Upper body compound movements can be adjusted as well to hit the arms more so (mainly thinking chest hand spacing to hit the triceps, but some back movements can be adjusted as well, depending on the person).

• Arms do tend to grow better from higher rep work for many folks and doing brutal pump sets (and stretching) can help here.

• For many guys, getting more arm size (ala DC as you note) is a matter of simply getting stronger and especially of getting bigger overall. Folks can gain arm size over the course of the first few years of training without gaining a tremendous amount of weight, but eventually overall body size will need to increase for arms to get larger (sans SEO / site injection, etc.).

Thanks for that answer. It's sooo good to be able to confirm these kinds of things with bright people like you. I have been thinking about this for such a long time and it makes sense that it would be that way, but it's nice to have it in black and white Again thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!!!
