Deads and arm size

[the People's Champ]

how do deads increase arm size? is it from holding soo much freaking weight? or by doing such a heavy compound exercise releasing GH?

There have been studies done on this. I dont remember the specifics but they tested like six exercises and the dl caused the greatest release of GH and testosterone after the ecercise was done. Dont remember how long but it wasa huge difference vs the other exercises. Read about it in Muscle & Fitness about 6 or 7 months ago.

The best way I've found to explain this to people is like so. When your body releases anabolic hormones, and begins protein synthesis, (hypertrophy in this case). The effects are not localized, meaning they travel through your blood stream effecting the entire body.

You can't have 19 inch arms and have a bodyweight of 160 pounds. IF YOU WANT TO GET SIGNIFICANTLY BIGGER ARMS YOU MUST INCREASE YOUR OVERALL MUSCLE MASS. Notice I said muscle mass. Anyone could eat themselves into oblivion and get big arms - but they would be all fat! How do you gain more overall muscle mass? Squat, bench press, and deadlift are three good ways to build more muscle mass. Do these exercises once a week and consistently hard, take in enough good food, and get at least 8 hours sleep a night, and your arms will grow.
