I know as a hard gainer low reps, heavy weight and basic compound lifts (squats, deadlift, etc.) is the recommended diagnosis for us skinny guys. Some workouts I have found literally have me doing 5x5 on the bench and 5x5 on the military press and calling it a day. Only to find the same for squat and deadlift the next day. I understand the philosophy, its common for us to over compensate, but I dont understand how certain muscles in my body will grow while doing these limited lifts.
For example, how will my biceps and triceps be stimulated(I have pathetic arms) and besides literally 25 reps of military press a week my shoulders wont receive and stimulation either. I know that a certain amount of muscle inducing growth hormone is released when you do these heavy lifts but it is certainly not anything like an anabolic or PH, and even with those supps muscle wont start popping out of nowhere without proper stimulation. Can someone explain how squats, DL'S, bench, and military press will create mass other than just bulging legs and a puffy chest.
