Yes, Bulking. Eating a shitload of carbs is what I'm doing for post workout nutrition. I'm thinking though, do I really have to have session to session recovery to gain muscle? Isn't waiting 24 hours akin to just longer rests for more sets - which despite a decrease in performance would still be...

How have your gains been overall compared to 2-3x week frequency?

Well, with the 8-12 rep range I recover in 24 hours. It seems to me the muscle can recover but when I get to sub 8 reps, recovery for that specific rep range (power 3's) definitely takes 4-5 days, which tells me protein synthesis probably takes less than 24 hours, but the CNS recovery for HEAVY...

Do you think that's too much? I don't recover daily to daily but with an occasional day off I fully recover. Maybe I could treat it like dual factor- still gain muscle despite declining performance occasionally due to fatigue? Then dissipate this with a deload week?

I've been trying just sets a rep short of failure, been doing 2-3 sets for chest, 1-2 sets for shoulders, 3 sets of rows and 3 sets of chins. Daily.

I'm testing out a high frequency, full body split at an intermediate level. I essentially hit major muscle groups 6X weekly with 2-4 sets each, and maybe 1-3 sets of isolation movements for the arms. Reasoning for this includes better partitioning for less fat gain, increased strength through...

Yeah. Those are 1 rep maxes, and yes I meant HST.

I have roughly 14.2 and 14.4 inch arms at 17 percent body fat, 5'6. So not near genetic potential or anything.

Why do I see people adding half an inch a cycle then? Are they just on Dbol and such?

I'm 5'6 164 with 14.3 inch arms.. that being said I bench 255 and Ohp 160. I'd like to have bigger arms, is it possible I could get half an inch or so if I eat well enough in a cycle of HST? Anyone with experience? Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk
