Your arms will grow to a certain point. To gain about an inch (after genetic limit is met) you should gain about 10-15 solid pounds. I started squating and my weight went up from 185 to 195 and my arms grew from 17 to just about 18". Traps, BB shrugs, power shrugs work wonders. Reverse shrugs, Neck iso's, uprights in between sets of shrugs, incline bench shrugs. All that works great -
BB shrugs is just for BarBell. I like to use a strait bar compared to db's because you can use more weight, Especially if you use the power wraps to tie your hands to the bar. The incline shrugs are bad ass. You lie facing the bench so that your strattling it. Put your face right up to the bench. now just simply shrug up and down. It isolates your traps so your not using momentum at all. A power shrug is just putting on a ton of weight and just bringing your shoulders up to your ears. You can use momentum for these by kind of jumping up with the weight. It's cheating with heavier weights to add mass. Neck workouts are great. I lay on a bench just like I'm going to bench press, except I lay farther up so that my head is completely off the bench. Put like a 25 lb plate on your forehead and just lift your head up and down, isolating your neck. I have a neck harness that straps onto my head and I add about 90-100 lbs for the lifts. Uprights are just Upright rows. Hold onto a strait bar, close grips and bring the bar up to your chin and lower it. I try to use a smith machine for these and then throw on about 225-255.Comment
