WTF is wrong with my arms?

video? Big for 160? This coming from the thread based on measurements....?
oh geez...
Im still waiting for the vid and more pics...pardon me for being a "homo"...:sleeping:
 
Looking good for 175 as well. For me, heavy compound movements are the way to go. Glad it's working for you.

raises...just do em till u puke. make sure u whip it way up above ur head too.
on chest day ull hit alot of front delts too

i would stay away from chest and shoulder on same day, to stressful and wont get the entire energy to the 2nd part.

I like doing front raises palm up though. I have never really seen anyone do it, just kind of tried it and liked it. I do it with a DB or the EZ Bar. It can be a pain at first to get focus on the front delt but once you do its worth it.
Not huge range of motion like the classic from DB raise but i focus on the muscle and slow negatives.

What are some good lifts for front delts?

Anterior deltoid stimulus comes from pushing from the overhead or from the infront. Any movement the anterior deltoid would be the closest delt to the external load.

Just remember, balance your exercises by using opposing forces in the same plane. Example, bench and row, pullup and barbell overhead presses, flyes and posterior deltoid bent over raises.

If you fail to do this. Overdeveloped anterior delts and / or underdeveloped posterior delts would allow the shoulders to roll forward. The severity can usually be identified by posture through muscle density usually from a profile perspective. It's called "rounded shoulders" and the popularity of this is becoming a bigger issue than people think. I have a minor case of it coming from bench pressing without using the opposing movement (the row) and I just started doing pullups a couple of months ago. Therefore, the appearance of this is starting to become insignificant.

Anterior deltoids are agonists in one exercise, the opposing force would force the posterior deltoids to have the same involvement to the range of motion.
 
Dont worry twitch i'm going to get your video. My left elbow is sore so i got to let it heal up a little. I did get 6 plates on the smith, i know it doesnt count but i did. I'm going to focus on legs next week and my arm should be better by Friday.
 
Dont try to impress him Navy, post if YOU want to post it. Don't feel like you need to impress anyone on the internet.

ofcourse u shouldnt do shoulders and chest in the same day..who said that?
ummm anyway, front raises palm up? that seems like alot of biceps
 
I see nothing wrong with chest and shoulder movements on the same day.

I gained the majority of my mass on a push, pull and legs split. Which has bench presses and barbell overhead presses and optional incline presses one the same day.
 
1. seriosuly dont associate to me in thsi thread. ill direct my comments to the people who i feel can learn from them and look at them as opinions rather than a command or the end of all. I am not wantgin to be impressed and i doubt he will try to do that. If i wanna be impressed ill go see a strongman event or watch a pro BBer workout or some other event i think is worth it.

2. Navy, thats fine, it sounds like you put alot on the joint so its understandable, if it never happens its cool. Like i said nothing to prove to me and i dont think im better than the next man, my dad told me once.." dont be bothered that youre not the best, biggest, fastest, smartest strongest or anything, cause there will always be someone ahead of you."
It sounds harsh but its the truth, do what you do and thats all that you need to do. I think Smith machine show a little, still takes strength to move the weight.

3. I never said anyone said you should work chest shoulders same day, i just recomend in my experience its not a hot idea. The exercise CAN be a bit bicep taxing, but your elbows DO NOT BEND which put the weight load on the shoulder. It does help pump up biceps a bit. I personaly LOVE the exercise. I get a great line between the front delt and start of my outer upper chest doing them.
 
Updated pics.... After a 3 week cut,, i did hate to lose power but i think i look better so im good. My biggest question, do the legs look better?
Bench-265
Squat-285
Dead-355

Look man, at your stage in the game, it is my opinion that you should focus on your big lifts to get bigger and all around stronger. Weighted pull ups, dead lifts, squats, bench, overhead press, cleans, weighted dips... you do not need to worry about your arms right now, you are perfectly proportionate. put in the hard work where others do not and you will set yourself apart from 99% of all other males. Keep up the good work
 
I want to see the video of 300 lbs squat ATG.
 
I want to see this 300 Bench, 405 Squat. I weigh less than you, but look bigger and can't throw those numbers up.

When I saw your first legs pics I was going to ask if you even train legs.
 
Looks like you just need to SFW and increase your protein intake. Generally when someone is 'strong' and a 'not big' it has a lot to do with diet.

If you want to be bigger, eat as if you're already that size but eat clean and SFW and the mass will come. Be prepared to put on a little bodyfat in the short term but over the course of 3-6 months this shouldn't be an issue.

I'd bet money that diet is your problem, that and the fact that your form is probably for **** on some of the big compound exercises - hence quoting partial squat numbers in terms of weight moved.

Lift the weight you can do with perfect form for 5-8 reps a set max, eat right, problem solved.

If any one of the above isn't right, you'll not go anywhere fast.

My 2 c.

Edit: And tidy your house. Sheesh! :p
 
a good diet and a lot of food is a precurser to stregnth. your tris do seem to be of an ok size but your bis are lagging alot of people go for compound but thats bul****.. diferent parts of your biceps are used at different angles or phases withing a certain lift. use good form make sure that when you exercise your bi your are not moving momentum or any thing, use heavy weights and light untill they are massacred.. my bis are my favorite muscles i put alot into them and get alot out. i hope this helps rather than state the obvious..you know all this just make sure its all in check!
good luck
 
I would guess 13-15% on BF and make just do some arnold curls on you're biceps to give them a peak. They just need more peak in the shape to make them look bigger
 
Like me you have low insertions on your biceps which means they look okay unflexed but you dont get the massive peak like other people. Your arms are proportional to your body so I am assuming you are looking to fine tune a little. Start hitting that outer head hard. Narrow straight bar curls, hammer curls, concentration curls etc. It will come with time.
 
yea im calling bull**** on the 405 squat... more like knee bend, and if you could squat 405 ur deadlift reps would be 315-405 range with ease not 225..315 power clean? hmm nfl linebackers have the highest cleans and ive seen some 240 pound freaks do 380 range and ur claiming 315... and the 315 bench bull**** as welll... DO full ROM Lifts and post maxes
 
Your body resembles mine alot except im 15 and my front isnt developed enough so i look fatter than i actually am... but my body's retarded cuz i strore body fat like a girl chest, hips ,lower abs etc.
 
you have similar stats to me except i am 160 and 5"6. I am 14.3 percent body fat. I just started pushin 300 too. its a great feeling. Body wise your arms look fine to me too bro seems to me like you are being to hard on yourself. Im not gonna lie you do have chicken legs tho haha
