After 4 weeks I added full 1 and 1/2 inch to my arms. I was really thrilled since I could literally measure over a quarter inch growth each week with the tape measure. My weight also went from 153 to 175 by eating lots of chicken, beef, anything protein related. Obviously, most of the weight is fat since the bi's and tri's don't make up very much weight, but I also gained muscle in my shoulders and forearms. It was really muscle since my arms are still very cut. Measures 15 1/2 inches, cold!

So I thought I would begin training the rest of my body and I started with squats. Man, oh, man! My skinny legs! The first day, I did 3 sets of squatting (15 reps) with NO weights and then 1 set of 15 reps with a 40 lb barbell. Geez!!! I laid on the floor for 30 minutes. My quads hurt so bad I couldn't get off the floor. I then did quads a few more days but improved very rapidly after 1 week to be able to do 3 sets with 40 lbs. That was a little over a week ago.

But here's the weird part. Immediately after starting this, my arm gains went to zero! My weight gain has frozen at 175. My appetite went out the window and I began waking up very early in the mornings. Also, I always wake up with my Schlong standing straight up, chest out, head held high, (know what I mean). But since my squatting and full body workout, my sex drive went to ZERO, along with everything else. In the morning, when I wake up, my Schlong is still taking a snooze. I haven't been like this since pre-puberty! Geez?!? what gives??? Is this what OVER-TRAINING is all about? Man, I'm only a beginner!!!

Do this with the high reps for 2-3 months and you should see a significant increase in mass assuming you are eating and resting enough. After 2 months or so you can add in ancillary exercises to these three lifts and change the reps but make sure you have mastered the form for the big three first. These big three should be the core of most any bulking routine, especially when you are first starting out. I wouldn't worry about your bis and tris until you master this routine.

I wish this was a joke but yeah, you're right I'm a weenie. But everyone is a weenie at some time in their bodybuilding journey. But hey, get a load of this. If I come from 6 ft, 153lbs all the way to 230 after, 20 inch arms after 12 months, wouldn't it be the greatest ascent of all time?!?

Just need to rest though to get my T-Levels back to normal. Then drop the squats and see if I can keep the arm growth at 1/4 in per week for 8 more weeks. Then go back to the full body work out and just maintain my arms.

Thanks for the responses though. Even though you dudes got a good laugh out of me, I must say some of your replies gave me a good chuckle!!

Don't do reps to failure until you've been lifting 4 - 6 months. Don't do squats or dealifts until you know the limitations of your lumbar (low-back); you need to baby your lumbar until your tendons strengthen up or you could strain it and have permanent damage. Don't do press-behind-the-necks; bringing the bar down to your chest works just fine and you won't get injured. Eat 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight minimum, along with 3000 to 4000 calories a day of fat and complex carbs (few simple sugars like glucose, fructose, lactose, maltose, etc. - starches are best) like potatos, pastas, and whole grain rather than wheat or white breads. And wait a few months, for God sakes, before you take any anabolics. A muscle tear, torn tendon, or torn ligament will knock you out of the gym for quite awhile. When you finally decide to take the plunge, read up and stay away from testosterone, d-bol, and anadrol-50. Get a personal trainer - a cute one with nice tits and no ring. Good luck.
