sounds iffy. Maybe they would be so swollen from muscle damage that they would measure 1/2 an inch bigger?:surprised:

hi mikald79, welcome to FT.

I read that same article on M&F last month, they guaranteed arms 1 inch bigger in a day, well actually 5 hours. You had to train every hour a killer routine for bi's and tri's and eat special meals... the only thing that they told you was that you wouldn't be able to workout your arms for at least a week, but after a month or so that inch would still be there...

My personal comments? I guess you could injure yourself pretty easily... it's not worth it...

Hope this helps.

Herd this too, I Have not personally tried it, howeve ri have no home dubells. But soposly like burro said you do a tricep and bicep excersise till faliure or somthing, then do it again in 30 mins, over and over again till you have done it 10 times or so. Half of the excercises where " partial or half reps" Meaning your shorting the muscle fibers to make it "apear bigger".........If this really and truly worked as great as they say it does, I don't see why we don't see bigger guns on body builders, I figured they would have came up with this long time ago.

well supposedly it only works once, then your body adapts to it and it doesnt really work again. even if you do it later, you will not see such drastic results...supposedly

yes, Charles Poliquin has a session, it is called the "one day arm solution". I posted it once, it is very brutal, if you can do it more power to you. Zottman curls are heavily involved. You have to devote the entire day to nothing but this, so have no other plans. I will see if I can find it for you. By the way, for your info, Charles Poliquin is no quack! The guy is paid millions by sports teams, etc. He has written many books, you may want to look into his book, "Winning the Arms Race". This is where the one day arm cure is excerpted from I believe.

here, the 1 day arm cure by charles poliquin is posted on t-mag.com, I've actually wanted to give this a try for a couple years, but have never found anyone willing to be my partner during this whole thing, and it looks pretty tough to go alone. anyway, here's the link: http://www.t-mag.com/nation_articles/195one.html
