My left arm is 17.25 and my right arm is an abysmal 16.0". I was born with a rare congenital condition which affected the right side of my body, particularly my arm. I have less muscle fibers on that side and the response to training is terrible.
The rest of my body is miles ahead of my toothpick arms. I am questioning why I even bother training anything anymore. The disproportion just becomes worse and worse.
My biceps are actually quite well developed, but my triceps are extremely lagging. Because of my condition I struggle to do any heavy compounds like dips or CGBP.
My right side especially is extremely weak and for that reason I avoid doing pump work. I just find it hard to believe that I can grow big arms doing tricep exercises with 20 pound db's and just a few plates on the cable machine. For a guy who is already strong it makes sense, but my logic has been that I'm too weak to benefit from that kind of training.
Right now I've been doing DB skullcrushers, Overhead extension machine, dip machine, and then one arm reverse pushdowns. 3-4 sets each exercise, 8-12 reps focusing on progressive overload. I do this 2-3x per week.
I have begun using IGF DES intra workout followed by MGF post workout. Haven't seen much yet tbh.
I'm also running 600mg test and some orals. I have thought about synthol but I don't think I have enough muscle there yet for it to look right.
I am open to the most extreme suggestions. 8 hour arm workouts 7 days a week. I don't care. If it works I try it.
