Arms can't catch up to chest

Arms need to catch up to chest. My arms aren't "tiny" or anything but relative to my chest they're not porportional. Anyways, i've already anticipated your future questions so i'll go ahead and write out my routine .

Monday: (4x6)
1. Squat
2. Hang Clean
3. Weight Chin Ups
4. Incline press(Recently, I tried doing no chest excercises to let arms catch up but it didn't really work)


Wednesday4x6)
1. Romanian Deadlifts
2. Push Press
3. Bend over rows
4. Weighted dips
Isolation: Bicep curls, Tricep Pushdowns(reps of 8, sets of 3)

Friday (4x6)
1. Squat
2. Hang clean(sometimes snatches when i'm in the mood)
3. Wide grip pull ups
4. Military press
Isolation: Hammer Curls, Tricep Kickbacks

Diet is in check and everything, 6 meals a day and more protein than a carnivore gets. I've never really been a big fan of isolation to be honest with you. I think compound lifts should do the trick. Should I go for high reps for a while on compounds? Say 3 sets of 10? I've been doing low reps for a while now. I was on 5x5 for a while, so I couldn't imagine higher reps would hurt for 6 weeks or so. I'll be interested in hearing yalls feed back and slaughtering of my program haha. *Also, I might be doing too much shoulders but I never walk away feeling mega fatigued in that area and I definitly don't have DOMS or anything. Yalls call.

and-- i do not see

curls
reverse curls
dips
tricept work

You list a few things, but no volume, frequency, or weight

and very little back work and incline, or reverses and such...

I thinkl your whole routine is too isolated, no compunds, or complex lifts.

read the stickies!

lets see pics


and what is your diet like?

Sweat Daily

What? Are you sure you read the routine.

"and-- i do not see

curls
reverse curls
dips
tricept work"
I do all that except reverse curls. Did you forget your glasses . And my whole routine is compound lifts. Squats, Cleans, Deadlifts, Military, Pushpress, etc.

I do agree. I do need more back work, but I always get AT LEAST one back work excercise in every session.

And you're telling me you don't know what a Hang Clean is? It's just a Power Clean but you don't start with the bar touching your ankles.

I can't put up pics because i'm the only 19 year old without a camera(never been a techy guy).

Hahaha, you're halariouse. Here, I'll show you. I'll give you this( and it's not a kiss on the ass), the isolation work is very inconspicuous in my routine.

Wednesday4x6)
1. Romanian Deadlifts
2. Push Press
3. Bend over rows
4. Weighted dips
Isolation: Bicep curls, Tricep Pushdowns(reps of 8, sets of 3)

Friday (4x6)
1. Squat
2. Hang clean(sometimes snatches when i'm in the mood)
3. Wide grip pull ups
4. Military press
Isolation: Hammer Curls, Tricep Kickbacks

Hehe. ^

Someone hacked your account FF?

A hang clean is this
YouTube - Hang Clean Form / Tutorial

Note that the bar does not start touching the ground but rather 'from the hang'.

It's a favourite exercise of strength and conditioning coaches.

Any way, as far as the topic goes, pics would be helpful so we can see what you mean, but you're routine looks pretty good.


What sort of other things do you do besides the weights? I know a few high level swimmers with absolutely massive chests and (not small but) disproportionately smaller arms.
Another possibility (and again, without seeing pics I can't say) it could be that you have a bit of fat on your chest, causing the illusion of it being out of proportion to your arms (from a musculature perspective).

Break down your calorie perimeters, and macro's. While protein is essential, the mighty carbohydrate, and the beat-up but not deserved, Fats, need also be up to snuff.

Best wishes,
