You Can't Add an Inch To Your Arms In One Day
by Rusi
I remember one time when I was desperately looking for a way to add an inch to my arms in 1-2 months. So what do I do? Of course I type: “how to add an inch to your arms in 1 month” in Google and expect to see some miracle routine. What I saw was “add an inch to your arms in one day”. Actually I couldn't find a routine for adding an inch to your arms longer than 14 days. It seems that we all want those big arms real fast. Is it possible. Hell no !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The stupid one inch for a day routine basically consists of curls every hour. You do barbell and dumbbell curls through the day and you measure your arms after a day or two. They should be about an inch bigger. But guess what - easy doesn't cut. You may in fact add an inch to your arms but it won't be muscle - most likely some kind of inflammation and water retention. Why? It's impossible. Your body cannot produce so much growth in a month let alone a day. It's not because I want it to be that way. It's just the way it is.
In order for a muscle to grow it has to get stronger. In other words if today you can curl 15 kg for 10 reps and after six months you still curl 15kg for 10 reps your biceps would be exactly the same because there was absolutely no strength progress or any kind of adaptation. Ok. Now answer this question - if today I can curl 15 kg for 10 reps what would I be able to curl after one workout and two recovery days - you are correct 15 kg for 10-11 reps. If you added an inch to your arms and your working weights have not increased you didn't gain any muscle. Sorry, Bro. It's just the way that it is.
"Ok. Bro...I get it - when you get stronger you get bigger. But why are there similar routines when it's impossible? Also Poliquin has written a similar routine called “The One Day Arm Cure”. You MAD?"
Bro. I'm not even mad but Poliquin can FUCK OFF. I just finished reading the article on T-Nation and I can tell you that it's a complete scam because you can see the stupid product advertisement as part of the nutritional advice of Poliquin. Of course he is gently suggesting some kind of bullshit Anaconda like supplements in his bullshit routine.
Why? When you buy this crap he makes money and since big arms are one of the main reasons to start training you attract more people by writing an article on arm training. Actually you attract even more people when you promise fast arm growth. Therefor more traffic and more supplements sales. When a newbie that would kill for bigger arms detects a suggestion for using some kind of supplement in an article on fast arm growth written by some guru there is a pretty good chance that the product will be tested.
I will say it again: Easy doesn't cut it. You won't get big arms in a day. I would even say that you won't get big arms in 1 year. Why? It takes time and effort and retarded like over-training done for one day is not going to compensate for doing nothing during the rest of the time. Unless you are a newbie just starting out you will need around 12 to 18 months to add an actual inch of muscle to your arms. If you can't handle it it's your problem but please don't waste money and time with one day arm cure programs. They are a scam and so is most you see on the famous sites. It's all about money.
Problem is you will first have to get hurt in order to understand it.
