Hey guys i got a stupid newbie question, OBVIOUSLY i don’t have much experience and am annoying. But can you still build big arms from HEAVY simple lifts? [/quote]
No.
Sometime around the year 2000, using compound barbell lifts with heavy weights unfortunately stopped yielding results for bodybuilders worldwide, causing a global scandal in the weight training world. Scientists are diligently researching the mechanism of this loss of arm growth, but for now it seems that you can no longer build big arms from compound lifts. Stay tuned.[/quote]
I’m old enough to remember when that happened. I wept bitter tears for weeks. Then i ordered my New Hell Bent for LEATHER N LEAD Strong Arm Bracelets and people in the gym started yelling “don’t shoot! Don’t shoot!” again everytime i flexed my arms.
Thank you Mr Weider.
