Ill see about implementing curls with 15 lb dumbbells before bed.Thinking 300 reps, divided into 50 rep sets. Dumbbell hammer curl, alt db curl with reverse negative, alternating db curls, 50 reps each, repeated twice. "Feeder" workouts look interesting and may be something worth trying. Ive tried massive volume/intensity with arms and they havent broken 19 1/2 cold since 2012. I did get to the same measurement with a leaner gut but thats about it. Very minimal progress if any.
This is one thing I havent tried. Im thinking 100 reps for alternaitng db curls with reverse curl negatives, regular style and hammer curl. I havent decided yet on the rep number but I think just hitting the shit daily with such a light weight may have some benefit over time. It seems Ill need to make some changes or just gain so much new body mass that it forces growth. Its something to try.
I should be able to re awaken my traps as well. I have not trained them direct for years, so they are downsized massively. Ill try very light seated hammer strength machine shrugs for high reps a few times a week, to pump blood into em, for now. I avoided direct work due to neck and shoulder issues with shrugging.
Itll be interesting to see if these things have any effect. I also recently added rear delt and side delt specific work. I will likely start fucking with the dumbbells tommorrow. I hit arms today so I dont think it will be needed tonight. Maybe for 6 days a week. I may also pick up some lighter weights since the goal is not to put too much strain on the joints and muscle but get some blood in the area without damaging it. Possibly to bring more nutrients into the muscle before sleep. It sounds interesting at the very least, and I need to try something different for them
My chest/back measurement seems to be creeping up again. Im not ready to make the increase official as the tape is not straight enough to my liking, but initial measurements (before adjusting the tape) are ranging from 56 1/2 to 57 which is higher than usual. Should be a measurable change soon. Its one area where ive been making large progress yearly.
