Ross I talked to a couple people today and wanted to return to say I stand corrected. You are correct that my view is really a matter of size, not shape. My brain was viewing this as a change in the shape of the arm, not the individual muscle.

Yeah, but it's splitting hairs. You knew exactly what you were talking about...it was just a matter of semantics.

what's your rep range on the compound lifts? Dude, I NEVER feel it in my arms but that's because I do a 5x5, I think I'm going to switch to a 4x12 or 5x12 on all the big compound lifts. any thoughts?

also man, can you post up which days you workout and what exercises / muscle groups you work out on those days?

yeah, i have to agree w/ muscles being genetically shaped, some people got big peaks on there bi's, i got football shaped bis, nothing u can do, took a while to learn that, look at abs, some crooked, some perfect, same thing, you cant work a certain "area" specifically and expect it to change the shape, and don't waste time doing a million curls...
