Bigger arms in a week

    I am a 17 y.o. with twigs as arms. I don't want to become massive just have an arm instead of twig. Basically how much bigger can they get in a week. I know its not going to be a massive amount at all but would like to have a rough idea of how long it will take in total.

    Also, what the best way for me to achieve the most growth?

    BTW In case you haven't noticed, I'm a complete newbie.

    Why a week?
    Forget about it. You will have no difference in a week no matter what you do.

    Get some dumbells and lift a weight that allows you to lift around 8 times. Do this 3 times on one day and then do it a further 2 times per week.
    Most important is not to masterbate as this will diminish your stores of protein and testosterone to build big arms.

    Exposed arms, wasps nest, hurley.

    Instant gunshow.

    Watch out for the anaphylactic shock though. Chicks don't dig anaphylactic shock. Makes you seem needy with all the requests for them to drive you to the hospital and stuff.

    Your better off doing a search on google.

    You've already got 11 childish replies from people taking the p1ss, including 2 mods, you'd think they'd be more helpful than joining the other ejits and posting thrash.

    If anything the replies highlight that was OP is asking for is next to impossible

    ye I'm not expecting a big gain at all and the week was just thrown out there. Basically I just want a rough idea of how long it should take in total (I am expecting it to talk a hell of a lot longer than a week)

    Months and years my friend, I would suggest focusing on building up your overall body rather than just focusing on your arms. 17 is a great age to start too.

    Depends on what you eat OP, what's your diet like, your REAL diet and not your ideal diet ;) That's the most important part. Without the fuel you won't build them arms.

    Take it slow at first, worst thing you can do is reach for 10KG right away and start pumping, you will do damage and slow down progress this way. Gradually increase your weights.

    It can take people a few weeks to notice small changes, it can take months to notice good improvement. Best thing is to measure your arms in the same spot every month. Work the triceps too, this will make your arms look bigger too. Don't do the same exercise, your arms have lots of muscles which need different exercises to tone and build certain muscles.

    Oh and ignore the children, you will get good advice if you can ignore them ;)

    At your age you might not even be finished growing up, nevermind out. You do have a great oppurtunity though, I wish I had started lifting seriously at 17 rather than 27.

    No one can really tell you how long its take you to grow bigger arms, legs etc. thats all down to the amount you eat and how hard you hit the weights.

    Join a gym or if you have room get a power rack. Learn to squat, deadlift, bench etc. and be patient.


    This is a great program for beginners from

    http://startingstrength.wikia.com/wiki/The_Starting_Strength_Novice/Beginner_Programs

    Monday
    3x5 Squat
    3x5 Bench press / Press (Alternating)
    Chin-ups: 3 sets to failure or add weight if completing more than 15 reps

    Wednesday
    3x5 Squat
    3x5 Press / Bench Press (Alternating)
    1x5 Deadlift

    Friday
    3x5 Squat
    3x5 Bench Press / Press (Alternating)
    Pull-ups: 3 sets to failure or add weight if completing more than 15 reps

    Have at it horse, you'll be amazed with the right diet and enough food how quickly you'll grow.
