Episode notes
Arm-Centric Beginnings
- Nick Licamelli's early training prioritized arms, even incorporating a 5-hour arm workout.
- This approach, despite its intensity, didn't yield significant growth, highlighting the importance of balanced training.
Prioritizing Arm Growth
- Prioritize arm growth by training them earlier in your workout when you are fresh.
- Use intensity techniques like myoreps, beyond failure, or BFR to maximize muscle stimulation.
Shoulder Pain Management
- For shoulder pain during overhead pressing, try dumbbells or limiting range of motion to reduce stress.
- If pain persists, switch to a landmine press or focus on lateral raises as alternatives.
