Anyone tried the one day arm cure here? thoughts? regrets? pain medication suggestions?
I tried it about a month ago when I was taking a week off from lifting. It is a killer and you tend to get a little weary toward the end. My results, however, were zero. Not even a 1/16". I think the program is probably best for someone who has been on a very low volume program. It may also be more effective for someone younger than me and who hasn’t been training as long as I have. Any gains at this point are awful hard to get.
I tried it too, more out of fun and adventure than real expectations. I didn’t gain anything.
My brother and followed Poliquin’s ODAC recommendations to a T last fall and made zero lasting gains. After 3 days the initial swelling subsided, and my arms were exactly the same size. I think the risk of developing tendinitis with this program is not worth the potential gains.
poliquin is an idiot when it comes to bodybuilding, he MAY be a great strength coach (though I doubt it) but he has know clue when it comes to bodybuilding. peace
Yeah, It’s day three now and I still feel tattered, like my arms got meat-tenderized from th shoulders to the wrist… I upped my protien to 340 grams a day starting the day of the arm cure, and have been ating like a horse yet recuperation is painfully slow…
It will build mental toughness but not bigger arms. Wanna gain an inch on your arms? Gain 10-15 pounds. 'Til its over, outlaw.
yes, i regret doing it, waste of time.
