I'm 6'4 approx 90kg of very lean build.
Although my arms are reasonably muscular they are by means big. I cant even bust 16" flexed. It has been that way for some time now despite whatever bicep/tricep exercise combination I throw at them. I believe I've been eating enough because I put on 4kg last cycle although I swear most of that went to my gut.
I have been reading and hearing a bit lately that in order for them to grow I need to lift heavy weights concentrating on the larger muscle groups ie bench, dips, pull ups, bent rows, shrugs etc. The theory is that most bicep/tricep movements are shaping exercises rather than mass builders.
Is this true? Can I build arm size without doing any specific arm exercises?
My second question revolves around bulking weight. If I were aiming to be a lean muscular 95kg, realistically what weight should I bulk up to before cutting?
Cheers
