there are too many variables to consider to give any accurate answer to that question.

it is impossible to give a time frame for that question.

everyone gains a different rates and in different places quicker than others. stick to compound movements, progressively increase your working weights and with the proper diet and rest gains will come. keep a training log !

That's possible with "muscle memory". Once a muscle has reached a certain size if that size is lost it's easy to re-gain it.

Difficult to answer. I know that I gain like crazy when I'm actually sleeping enough and working on on a solid schedule....then life gets in the way.



Are you going to eat that?....

I gain the most when I don't rest a lot. I actually gain a lot when I only take a minimum of time off...

Re: Bicep build time

I experienced the most rapid arm growth a few years ago, when I stopped training arms. YUP! I just let my chest/back/shoulder work suffice for bi/tri stimulus. Not only did my arms grow but also my pressing and rowing/chinning movements improved.
I did reach a point where I had to start training them again. The tri's started to be the weak point in pressing. Still today I do VERY little arm work.

This probably belongs in the "arm thread" but relaxed and cold they are 17+. I could probably pump and flex to over 18.



To refuse to learn anything that could prove beneficial to yourself is a working definition of stupid!

High-intensity training is going all-out, not almost all out. It is taking one set to one's absolute limit, not almost to the limit. It is using whatever equipment’s available. It is not the words of two or three men, but a commitment to work as hard as possible while in the gym without socializing, resting excessively between sets, or falling prey to the 'this isn't going to work so I'll copy the star' attitude"

Remember that biceps are not only a small muscle, but also only about 1/3 of the arms overall mass.

I was able to put on about a 1/4 inch in 2 weeks using a split routine, 6 days on 1 day off, training the whole body 3 times that week. In further detail the first 2 day set is 13-15 reps, then 10-12, then 8-10, rest periods also were cycled as the weeks went on. Sounds funky, but for me at the time it worked, but was a seriously time consuming program, had to eat and sleep alot as well. I've thought about going back to it, but I dont have the time for it right now (or wont make the time).
