I've noticed a similar effect recently as well. I' had been running the old 531, but I just started doing big but boring with it (5x10 after working sets) I just lower the weight by a little and throw on a sling shot. Results, +10 lbs body weight and about an inch on the arms in just a few months.
AlphaDestiny All kinds of gains.Make a video for arm dominants to grow the torsom.My arms are 38-39cm and i don t eant them bigger just want my back chest etc. (I start getting stronger muscle seems harder but not bigger)
Yo Alex. I made some major changes over summer. Got rid of my glasses, grew a beard, and got bigger. My school just started and half the people who knew me didn't recognize me while the others are shocked at my transformation. You're a great influence. Thanks, and keep it up!!
You never dissapoint brother, this is solid advice and makes perfect sense. I especially liked when you mentioned varying the reps on presses. You always hear guys talking about going below sets of 5 on board presses, but for big arm goals you could hit the low reps and then do backdowns with sets of 10-20
I agree, the reason I subscribed to him is because of his No B.S. attitude and giving you the raw truth. It's refreshing because I was used to fitness videos with a crap load of fluff. Keep it up Alex *-Minewire Fitness*
You know what the problem is? No one ever talks about how to maintain the strength you get after peaking. I'm hoping AlphaDestiny will someday make a video about this. Please like so he can see, if you're interested in knowing too.
Yes, but the whole point of the system is to work on weak points, so after you specialize on that weak point and change to another, how do you mantain strength/size on the previous weak point
Alex your such a huge inspiration to me , currently running ur novice program and DAMN I getting strong fast af literally adding 10 pounds to my box squat and deadlift every week it's insane !!!
When i started going to the gym without any knowledge 2 years ago i did only arms for 6 months 5 times a week 2 hours hahaha. Then after 6 months i started reading about lifting etc and i took 6 more months to start properly training. One thing that happened was that my arms got huge :)
You're right Alex, using bands definitely helped a ton. Buying a pair of bands was the best buying decision I made for lifting, other than the gym membership. I use them the most on Z Presses and when I take the bands off, the weight FLIES off of the pins as I do as many reps as possible. It's INSANE! Once you get bands and use them in a workout, it's going to be nearly impossible for you to want to go back to only straight weight.
Minewire Fitness Dude you're barely a beginner, you dont need all that extra shit to make gains. Just stick to the basics and you will gains. Leave bands, chains, slingshots and any other complex shit for when you reach an advanced stage in your lifting career. Right now you're still getting basic noon gains.
With all due respect, you have no idea what I am. I'm a 17 year old early intermediate lifter. I know for a fact that I am not a novice because I can't make gains with linear progression. I couldn't for a couple of months. If you watch Alex's videos at all, you'll know that this means that you are now an intermediate, definitely not a beginner. I stalled at a 345lb x 7. Squat and every other lift and could not get past it until I switched to an *intermediate* program called Naturally Enhanced. On that program, he recommends bands, so I'm just going to keep doing what I'm doing. I don't use slingshots or chains either. Thanks for the suggestion though!
Two months. It sounds like a long period, but I was increasing on some of my other lifts slowly, so I didn't realize how long I had been stuck on the big lifts. Before that, I could add 2.5-5lbs. to every lift every single workout. Even when I switched to 5lbs. a week I stalled. I was getting sick of the Madcow program and lifting wasn't fun at all anymore. Then, I tried Naturally Enhanced and it shattered every plateau and I'm DEFINITELY not going back lol.
Your gettin big brother...rack pulls have made a big difference in my physique, I think alot of people shy away cause there tough to do. I like that your a regular dude thats jacked an has said fk genetic an grew, my advise to any one is do whats right for you an not to hate on people. Im 43 an my training has changed alot, the only exercise I go balls to the wall is rack pulls, most of my training is chasing the pump like the golden age, just cant bench 500# anymore , im like you tho freaky strong an people say no way a guy your size can do that, but glad u have the video proof to throw in the naysayers faces, keep it up...
On volume day i do mostly bodyweight exercises. For my triceps i do 5 sets pike push ups, 5 sets push ups, 3 sets diamond push ups. All sets until failure. All together about 200 reps that work my triceps.
I get a bigger pump from a feeder work out at home with a resistance band super setting overhead extensions and hammer style curls then i do from an hour and a half arm workout with weights and cables
Through the twisting nether got the best natty arms out there 21inches and he does arm feeders everyday combined with stretching while the muscle is pumped.
Alex do you think your increased arm measurement could simply be a result of your bulk though? Do you think you'll still keep your arm size when u cut down to around 15% body Fat? On a side note, how much of an increase of waist size do you think is acceptable during a bulk?
My arms will definitely lose a bit of size when I cut. But to answer your question, no it's not the bulk because I lost weight. I'm only 186 right now. As far as waist sizes go, it's hard to say. I think it should not go past 36-40 inches
This is bullshit. All you need for big arms is a 595 lbs weighted chinup and a 705 lbs weighted dip for 5 reps each and you're set. Jk. Great video as always Alex!
same with biceps. best and fastest way to increase size of biceps is to work on long head, particulary using overhand grip. btw: clean is one of the best mass builders of biceps and forearms...
I find a "false dip machine" with light weight tossed in great for the pectorals. This seated "dip" makes the exercise closed-chain and limits the weight but it is great for pecs done casually with high reps and its also low impactish
great video. So glad someone out there is trying to dispel the "just do heavy rows and pulls" schtick for biceps. It may work for some people (Brian Alsruhe for example) but what these genetic freaks fail to appreciate is that not everyone is the same as them. Did you put on any fat during that period that could (in part) account for the increased measurements?
for triceps, Personally what worked for me was going heavy 5x6 close grip bench, after that 5x10 overhead extensions or skullcrushers or sometimes both. both relatively heavy.
Hey Alex, I've been runing your novice program for a couple of months, and today I did 3 sets of 4 on the floor press for 150lbs. The thing that bothers me is that after the 3 sets my elbows were sore and I got a bit worried I might be fucking up my joints. Should I stay away from the gym for a couple of days or is this normal?
Best way for big arms. Reps of 50 with lightweight barbell or ez bar. Arms would not grow. Started dropping the weight and pushing the reps and arms are blowing up. Also weighted chin ups
What do you recommend for forearm pain? It's gotten to a point to where any exercise I do where I have to rotate my arm side to side causes huge amounts of pain
Jack K should be a day or two with good nutrition and recovery . Or if you're still a beginner you're likely just sore. You work UP to the heavier and heavier weights over time . You don't jump head first into them because you will injure yourself. Train for years and you will have to go quite heavy to make more progress so there's plenty of time for the real heavy lifts .
What is the most amount of muscle you can put on your arms in month, because im rocking the 12 inch toothpick arms (for the last 4 months) and i need to get they size up.
It's all genetics bro but I can tell you that I went from 11.5s to 13.75's in about a year of on and off training using ghetto weight set ups with no actual plan, just random benching and curling. lol. With a proper program you'll probably see the first two inches quickly, (newbie gains) from there it will slowly down significantly....maybe an inch to an inch and a half per year? Again, it's gonna vary widely based on genetics, proper training, proper sleep, and diet.
Good video Alex I’ve been binge watching your videos and have learned and shit on from you and have already started incorporating things into my training.. but on this band work at home what reps and sets? High volume? High reps and sets? To failure?
Hey Alex, i have a question for your next Q&A. Is there any way to decrease the size of your quads? My quads grow alot from squatting but my posterior chain doesn't.
Alex, you seem you believe in nucleus overload, but why our calves as humans take so much effort to grow, we’ve been using them since we were babies climbing the stairs almost everyday
brian alsruhe did a video on this topic and he said he's never done curls in decades yet his arms are obviously huge, he attributes it to heavy weighted chinups and dips including his strong man work in general, all of this considered, do you still advocate curls as a necessity? love the content btw keep it comin!
best arm advice on yt. Guys like Jason blaha who got small arms, guys on Juice acting like they got their arms natty or guys like Brian alsruhe who have elite arm genetics giving advice on how to get big arms. Alex has shitty arm genetics and still now got those guns. Listen to this guys!!!
What is the best way to keep your shoulder or shoulders from wearing out before being able to get max reps when doing bicep curls? My problem is mostly with my non-dominant arm, my shoulder gets sore before i can get a really good bicep set. Great video like always.
Hey Alex so I recently bought NE and my high school wrestling season also recently started. For now we have one conditioning a week where we do like legs, or back, chest. How would you recommend for me to fit NE into wrestling? Thanks
Hey Alex, great vid as always, I just have a question. I'm 18, 5'4, about 136 or so. I played sports throughout high school and lifted on and off, I think I milked my newbie gains. I can bench let's say 145 x 5, OHP 110x 5, Deadlift 225x5 (limited by recent thumb surgery Grip strength) and Squat 225 x 5. Should I run your novice program? For how long?
Alex if I'm doing weighted dips/rows & chin ups, what isolations would you recommend? I'm doing fullbody 3x a week. And as for the overload could I do like slingshot dips and such?
Hey Alex, about a month ago i injured both shoulders. Left recovered fast and the right one is now in a lot of pain. Its so bad that taking off a shirt is painful. It seems to be really rotated in. Any help would be really appreciated, thanks
Bro problem is not knowing how to train for a certain muscle group or anything... The problem is when doing full body workout, if I focus on one particular muscle group, the other muscle groups fall. For instance I have lagging chest and traps, so I focus on them. Even though my arms are strong point, they fell backwards during my workout routines where I benched and rack pulled firstly. My question would be how to have high strength and energy during the WHOLE workout even in the last sets ? Usually after mid workout I get very exhausted and cannot put enough effort to my last sets. Therefore, first bodyparts progress while last ones fall backwards or lag.
Wow actually never tought of that way. Taking 10 minitue coffee break sounds so old school-vintage type of thing to do, and it will still be a full body workout and actually I will recover a lot in 10 minitues, will give it a try man :D
You look good brother. Jacked up, mature looking with facial hair, alpha as fuck. I would advice you to treat the dark circles now or after you quit minoxidil. Still on minoxidil?
My forearms are holding me back. They get so pumped up just picking up the dumbbells that finishing a set of curls ruins the rest of my workout. I try to keep the stretched out but nothing helps. Any solution bro?
After showing some arm progress pics on instagram instagram.com/outalpha/
I decided to release this guide. Enjoy :)
thanks man, my arms are like baby penises at this moment. Gonna try this today
I've noticed a similar effect recently as well. I' had been running the old 531, but I just started doing big but boring with it (5x10 after working sets) I just lower the weight by a little and throw on a sling shot. Results, +10 lbs body weight and about an inch on the arms in just a few months.
AlphaDestiny All kinds of gains.Make a video for arm dominants to grow the torsom.My arms are 38-39cm and i don t eant them bigger just want my back chest etc. (I start getting stronger muscle seems harder but not bigger)
AlphaDestiny what your thoughts on feeder workouts I'm already one week into doing them🤔🤔🤔🤔
AlphaDestiny send me the old slingshot brother.
Yo Alex. I made some major changes over summer. Got rid of my glasses, grew a beard, and got bigger. My school just started and half the people who knew me didn't recognize me while the others are shocked at my transformation. You're a great influence. Thanks, and keep it up!!
Keep killing it Abraham!
Abraham Yepremian u wearing contacts?

Those birds got jacked as fuck.

*Alex* You are giving out the secrets of the few experienced guys out there man!! These techniques should be confidential lol.
I like how you have one of the most proportional arms to forearm ratio in UA-cam
You know what the problem is? No one ever talks about how to maintain the strength you get after peaking. I'm hoping AlphaDestiny will someday make a video about this. Please like so he can see, if you're interested in knowing too.
You don't lol
Correction* Maintain SOME of the strength that you worked so hard to get in those 6,12, 15 or so weeks.
Knee pulls above the sack
Yes, that was actually something that i have been thinking about, would be nice to have a video on that
Yes, but the whole point of the system is to work on weak points, so after you specialize on that weak point and change to another, how do you mantain strength/size on the previous weak point
Alex your content is outstanding. I cannot comprehend how you don't have hundreds of thousands of subscribers yet.
Thanks Nick, one step at a time!
Bought your book Naturally Enhanced yesterday, should arrive soon. Super excited to get yoked!
Thanks for your support Philip!
And yes it's instant access, check out your inbox/spam folder. Wishing you the best of gains
Been doing a lot of close grip spoto press and seeing a difference in my triceps for sure
maybe add bands too?
Alex your such a huge inspiration to me , currently running ur novice program and DAMN I getting strong fast af literally adding 10 pounds to my box squat and deadlift every week it's insane !!!
3:19 hmmmm, a hodge twins reference?..
I love your programs. I haven't had fun while lifting in a while now. Your work has changed that for me. Please continue doing what you do Alex.

This is bullshit. All you need for big arms is a 595 lbs weighted chinup and a 705 lbs weighted dip for 5 reps each and you're set.
Jk. Great video as always Alex!
LopezLion and weighted 2 plate one arm chinups for volume. Curls don't do shit
For real tho if you're hitting those numbers you're probably already having big arms.
I'd feel so bad for someone who still had lagging arms hitting those numbers gosh darn
You gonna add an arm program on naturally enhanced? It's great already but just wondering
Big guns will even get you the nuns 🙌

Out of curiosity, what is your forearm/bicep size? I'm looking to purchase the slingshot this week and want to make sure I get the right one.
same with biceps. best and fastest way to increase size of biceps is to work on long head, particulary using overhand grip. btw: clean is one of the best mass builders of biceps and forearms...
When you need your friend to pull it for you, that's when you know it's really gotten big
So you mentioned you do nearly 300 pushdowns on a volume session. How many reps would you also do for biceps? Thanks!
Dude I love your new look
Appreciate this upload, great stuff!
Glad to help!
bros be like: "Alex, you're presenting studies done on some fucking birds?"
I have 44 inch shoulders at 6'3" which makes me look very small and narrow. Is it possible to increase this with like 3-4 inches (or more)?
Sometimes we all just need a friend to "pull it up" for us 😃
This is exactly what I’ve been searching for for MONTHS
I find a "false dip machine" with light weight tossed in great for the pectorals. This seated "dip" makes the exercise closed-chain and limits the weight but it is great for pecs done casually with high reps and its also low impactish

i feel like when i destroy my arms every session my recovery gets quite longer and its harder to progressively overload becuase they are so beat
for triceps, Personally what worked for me was going heavy 5x6 close grip bench, after that 5x10 overhead extensions or skullcrushers or sometimes both. both relatively heavy.
Great advice bro respect from Macedonian in Australia

i nees to invest in chains and that slingshot for sure. i need to start training like a bodybuilder too. balance is key.
how to answer emails
Hey Alex, when are you going to release that epic NE testimonial?
The last time I came this early, I came early.
who is the bodybuilder at 4:50? his cristmas tree is sick man
Best way for big arms. Reps of 50 with lightweight barbell or ez bar. Arms would not grow. Started dropping the weight and pushing the reps and arms are blowing up. Also weighted chin ups

Strained my right tricep while trying heavyweights ... any idea how long until it heals up ?
Jack K should be a day or two with good nutrition and recovery . Or if you're still a beginner you're likely just sore. You work UP to the heavier and heavier weights over time . You don't jump head first into them because you will injure yourself. Train for years and you will have to go quite heavy to make more progress so there's plenty of time for the real heavy lifts .
And my buddies make fun of me for following the high volume triceps push downs per session lol
buddies die out. tricep gainz will not.
What is the most amount of muscle you can put on your arms in month, because im rocking the 12 inch toothpick arms (for the last 4 months) and i need to get they size up.
It's all genetics bro but I can tell you that I went from 11.5s to 13.75's in about a year of on and off training using ghetto weight set ups with no actual plan, just random benching and curling. lol. With a proper program you'll probably see the first two inches quickly, (newbie gains) from there it will slowly down significantly....maybe an inch to an inch and a half per year? Again, it's gonna vary widely based on genetics, proper training, proper sleep, and diet.
Alex can you make a video demonstrating how you stretch out your arms like at 8:01
Make a video that specifically goes over your arm wrestling based forearm training
100k age reveal?
unknown entity he's 22
Wrong he's at least 24.
alphasoris in 2015 a guy asked him "how old are you?" alex answered "how old are you" the guy said "20" and alex answered "same"
he's probably 22-23
another reason why i think he's pretty young are the old videos back in 2013/14..he looks like a teenager not older than 19/20
But Brian Alsurhe said you don't need to curl to grow biceps. Just weighted pull ups and heavy rows
Interesting following your arm size journey. Pretty sure you will easily get above 17 inches :D
If the sling shot don't fit, rack pulls above the knee's.
What do you think about bench dips for long head triceps? Mike Tyson did. everyday
My arms grew alot from only doing CGBP and preacher curls.
Good video Alex I’ve been binge watching your videos and have learned and shit on from you and have already started incorporating things into my training.. but on this band work at home what reps and sets? High volume? High reps and sets? To failure?
Hey Alex, i have a question for your next Q&A.
Is there any way to decrease the size of your quads? My quads grow alot from squatting but my posterior chain doesn't.
Alex, you seem you believe in nucleus overload, but why our calves as humans take so much effort to grow, we’ve been using them since we were babies climbing the stairs almost everyday
I switched Tricep extensions with LTEs. my arms grew rapidly
Rasputin Varez LTE's?
What the fuck is that
_Vegan_ lifter ---- twistingnether ----- said the 1300 rackpull was easy as shit and he's going to work up to 2000lbs. It will be a glorious victory.
Do a calesthenics routine brah...
brian alsruhe did a video on this topic and he said he's never done curls in decades yet his arms are obviously huge, he attributes it to heavy weighted chinups and dips including his strong man work in general, all of this considered, do you still advocate curls as a necessity? love the content btw keep it comin!
I believe curls are necessary for OPTIMAL bicep development, and especially for those who do not have elite genetics for arms.
AlphaDestiny Brian alsruhe CAN close grip bench 450 and do 185lb weighted pull ups while weighing 240lbs. Of course his arms will be huge.
best arm advice on yt. Guys like Jason blaha who got small arms, guys on Juice acting like they got their arms natty or guys like Brian alsruhe who have elite arm genetics giving advice on how to get big arms. Alex has shitty arm genetics and still now got those guns. Listen to this guys!!!
What if you are a novice? Will curls and weighted chins be enough untill you hit intermediate stage?
What is the best way to keep your shoulder or shoulders from wearing out before being able to get max reps when doing bicep curls? My problem is mostly with my non-dominant arm, my shoulder gets sore before i can get a really good bicep set. Great video like always.
Do not swing the weight up and keep your elbows tucked in. Peace.
Hey Alex so I recently bought NE and my high school wrestling season also recently started. For now we have one conditioning a week where we do like legs, or back, chest. How would you recommend for me to fit NE into wrestling? Thanks
that's why my arms was bit bigger when i was swimer and done online high volume
Can you confirm or deny the rumors claiming you would yoke carry a thousand pounds 100 feet in celebration of 100k subs???
Denied, no access to a yoke and there's a high chance of snapping my shit up if I ever attempted that.
Shit bro you almost need Eddie Hall genetics to try something like that....
Alpha man. Your voice has gotten a lot deeper since your old videos.
Not that much. Mainly has to do with a better mic tbh
facial hair looks optimal like this bro
I was watching the last stream and as soon as he mentions this video it comes out... how do you do it Alex
Magic.
Hey Alex, great vid as always, I just have a question.
I'm 18, 5'4, about 136 or so. I played sports throughout high school and lifted on and off, I think I milked my newbie gains.
I can bench let's say 145 x 5, OHP 110x 5, Deadlift 225x5 (limited by recent thumb surgery Grip strength) and Squat 225 x 5.
Should I run your novice program? For how long?
You're still a newbie judging by these numbers bro
Is that the feeder workout Rich Piana was talking about few years ago? 3 sets of 100 reps everyday?
Alex if I'm doing weighted dips/rows & chin ups, what isolations would you recommend? I'm doing fullbody 3x a week. And as for the overload could I do like slingshot dips and such?
and those arm feeder tip at last
remebering rich piana👍
Hey Alex, about a month ago i injured both shoulders. Left recovered fast and the right one is now in a lot of pain. Its so bad that taking off a shirt is painful. It seems to be really rotated in. Any help would be really appreciated, thanks
Do you also focus on progressive overload on the isolation exercises?
I've been thoroughly working the long head for months but the only thing that gets bigger is my left forearm. What am I doing wrong????
Great content duder
Does gaining weight help arm size?
I just seen Alan thrall rack pull 1047lbs above the knee on IG
Some O.J Simpson action with the slingshot haha
4:54 who is that guy?
Bro problem is not knowing how to train for a certain muscle group or anything... The problem is when doing full body workout, if I focus on one particular muscle group, the other muscle groups fall.

Therefore, first bodyparts progress while last ones fall backwards or lag.
Lack of work capacity bro. Or you can take a 10 minute coffee break, then resume.
Wow actually never tought of that way. Taking 10 minitue coffee break sounds so old school-vintage type of thing to do, and it will still be a full body workout and actually I will recover a lot in 10 minitues, will give it a try man :D
You look good brother. Jacked up, mature looking with facial hair, alpha as fuck. I would advice you to treat the dark circles now or after you quit minoxidil. Still on minoxidil?
Thanks, still on
My forearms are holding me back. They get so pumped up just picking up the dumbbells that finishing a set of curls ruins the rest of my workout. I try to keep the stretched out but nothing helps. Any solution bro?
How about doing SUPER Sets ? One gym mate suggested me to try those for arms...
