In your second lesson you learned overtraining the arms and why that is simple an excuse not to train hard. Today I will discuss the issue of calories and arm size
Bodyweight. You cannot expect big arms without a corresponding increase in bodyweight. You cannot have one without the other, if you want big arms you have to get big all over; you need to increase your bodyweight. For every inch on your arms expect to gain 10-15 lbs in the process, so if you want to gain 4 inches you, need to gain 50-60lbs. If you are thin and have small arms, the only way to get big arms is through large increases in bodyweight you need to consume quality sources of protein, carbohydrates and fats. And you have to consume these clean calories in 5-6 meals.
In terms of the number of calories needed--You need to consume at least twice your BMR (basal metabolic rate), which can be calculated on a broad basis as your bodyweight in pounds multiplied by 20. In short, you need an absolute minimum of 4000 calories if you weigh 120 or less. If you are serious about bodybuilding 3000 calories or less will not cut it, you need to increase calorie until you are gaining at a rate of 1-3 lbs of muscle a week
You also need 1.5 grams of protein per pound of body weight, which can be obtained from weight, gain supplements
If you do not have supplements you can use nutrient and calorie dense foods like nuts, milk, eggs, honey, raisins, oatmeal, red meat to get all the needed calories for fast arm growth.
Thanks for the Tip...
