Quick background: I'm a long time lurker of HST. I enjoy the workout routines and it doesn't leave me incredibly drained when I leave the gym. I've veered off and tried some things (Scrawny2Brawny, DC, other crap I've made up) but I always seem to come back to HST. I also enjoy the total body aspect of it. I've put on about 15 pounds or so the last year due to HST and increasing my intake of food. I am also looking to put on another 10-15 pounds here in the next couple of months with another cycle.
My question is about workout creation and my arms.
As my body grows and my shoulders widen and I become more defined, my arms seem small compared to the rest of me. I remember reading an article Arthur Jones wrote about most people either having big arms/small body, or small arms/big body, and that very few had both.
I guess my questions are:
1. Is it genetics?
1b. If it is genetics, can I fix it?
2. Is it exercise selection?
3. Am I not eating enough?
Is it something I can fix with exercise specialization? Meaning, on my next cycle, if I only do bench, row, and squat, then focus on arms, is that a solution?
This is something I'd like to address and given the huge amount of knowledge on these forums, I would hope someone has some ideas and suggestions.
Thanks.
