I used to be eating about 5-6 meals a day. At my peak in say May, I was about 6' and 155lbs. No clue why I had such a growth spurt at 16-17.
This summer I lost a good bit of weight. Only been getting in 2-3 meals a day and dinner usually at about 1AM for one reason or another. I think my mom decided to stop cooking breakfast for me when she ran into an ex girlfriend who told her I was her "sexual teacher". Guess it was her idea of a joke to get back at me.
No supplements. I used to take a protein shake before and after workouts. And despite the look, I never touched a drug or even a cigarette in my life. I look high in every pic lol. I have maybe 3 good photographs of myself where I don't look stoned.
I've tried workin out my arms to no end, but it is a matter of genetics I think. Everyone in my family is so lanky and has like 3ft long monster arms. They look small unflexed but if I pump them I can barely touch my shoulders. I'll admit my upper chest is a weakpoint. I tend to work my shoulders instead of my chest when benchpressing, especially on the incline. I don't know why my traps look kind of small, they're one of my strong points.
I plan to clean bulk to about 165lb this year. I needed an extra elective this year, so I put down Physical conditioning. Time to get some more workouts in.
Since your "Ultimate workout guide" or whatever got deleted, I don't know what routine you were doing, but from reading your post it sounds like you were too concerned with isolation exercises. Worrying about upper chest and even arms is pointless when you only weigh 155 lbs at 6'1". You can't even isolate your "upper chest". Want your arms to grow? Gain 50 lbs. of total body weight and I guarantee at least some of it will end up on your arms. Look around any gym - who are the guys with the biggest arms? The biggest guys period! Granted you may not have the best "arm genetics", but it sounds like you were trying to isolate them or something, which is not the best way of doing things, especially at your height/weight. You need to base your workout on compound lifts - squat, deadlift, bench, rows, chins, dips, etc. Throw in an arm curl here and there if you want to, but it's the big lifts, combined with a TON of food, that will ultimately make you (and your arms) grow.
Again I since I don't have access to your "Guide" I don't know if I'm just repeating stuff you were already doing. I'm just trying to give some helpful advice.
