Mass confusion, what to do?
I need opions on this, I'm having ego melt down can't gain crap on my arms. I beleive that my work style might be the problem. I drive big rig and when I get to my deliveries I'm unloading furniture all day and then i'm physicaly toast and that might be the day i should be resting my arms. So therfore should I skip the hypertrophy and just stick to lifting heavey low reps?

So your saying become a powerlifter instead of a bodybuilder? I dont understand... You can train however you want based on what your goals are, if your training arms more than once a week your doing too much anyway, job regardless. If you are working out hard in the gym then train the body once over a 5-7 day period, not twice a week.Originally posted by slither
