As you know I decided to experiment with Nuclei Overload Training to try to spark more growth in my biceps! Compared to all my other muscles, I’ve always felt like my biceps are lagging and if what I’ve been doing wasn’t working, trying something else seemed like the best alternative. So I decided to give Nuclei Overload Training (NOT) a shot and what I did was perform 100 dumbbell biceps curls a day for 30 days straight.

Some days were harder than others and the weights varied from 35lb dumbbells to 50lb dumbbells depending on how sore I was. Also, I wasn’t pumping out 100 reps in a row. I was completing 100 reps as fast as I could, usually in 10 sets of 10 reps. The reason is because I didn’t want to have to go TOO light. Call me stubborn, but even though I’m loading up on volume I still felt like I needed a bit more stimulation than just curling 10lb dumbbells 100 times in a row. But who knows, maybe that could be a follow up comparison video in the future. If done correctly though, it should only take about 15 – 20 minutes to complete and if let’s say I started with 50lb dumbbells but then my arms began to fatigue A LOT, I would just drop the weight to 45lbs, 40lbs or 35lbs, whatever I needed to do to keep the rest periods under 1 minute.

But the REAL QUESTION is, why did I wait SO LONG to show you my results as I did this from October 10th through November 10th. Well, The holidays were a big part of it. I had all kinds of family visiting from Brazil for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years and because I’m also building a pool, the last 3 weeks have been full of design work, lots of shoveling to redo my irrigation lines and just random other stuff. However, the biggest reason is that a HUGE PART of NOT is the RECOVERY after the 30 days and I wanted to be able to talk about that as well as have time to research the science as well.

To be honest, I want to continue with NOT for other body parts, but always use this video as a point of reference so I don’t have to re-explain everything, every time.

Did My Biceps Actually Grow?!
FIRST THINGS FIRST, did my biceps ACTUALLY GROW?Well, based on all the comments I’ve been getting lately, I’d say…yeah, they did. In fact, I noticed about a quarter inch difference when I remeasured from day 1 to 30 days later and still retain that difference even now. Also, when I first mentioned I was going to try NOT, a few people commented that any size difference would just be “inflammation”, not real growth, and would “go away” after a long rest period. So at face value I can say to those people, HELL YEAH, NOT DOES work! But that wouldn’t be very scientific would it? Let me explain.

There’s a lot more to this than just “seeing” growth. You have to take into consideration THREE very important things as well.

I haven't been this excited to release a video in a long time! I hope you all really enjoy it! I think figuring out new ways to incorporate Nuclei Overload Training into my future workout programs is a HUGE step in the right direction for my channel. But until then, I still want to test it out a bit more. So if you want to take on 30 DAYS of TRAPS and CALVES with me be sure to check out this link! https://muscularstrength.com/forums.php?pageAction=POSTS&subForumID=119&threadID=5511

I have tried nuclear overload training for my full body and I have had staggering results. Macros and diet is really important and it’s easier if you have high body fat. If you want hear more about it, lemme know.

If this actually worked then you would just do Pushups everyday and that work be all you need to build your chest. This lends it's self to doing calisthenics everyday for maximum growth. Plus, even if you would grow, most likely as the volume decreases afterwards you would lose some of the muscle you built.

I do 200 reps on every muscle group 4x a week and do 50 reps using 1 heavy weight once a week and it’s the best muscle growth results I’ve had in 11 years of training I gained around 1kg of muscle in a couple months maybe 3 months and I noticed when the muscle growth stops or slows down the muscles ended up cutting but they never lost size , only issue with it is you can’t really progress by adding more reps over time as it’s too much time consuming so only thing you can do it’s increase the weight time to time unless you are happy with your physique after so long then this routine is an amazing way to maintain your physique I’m at a stage im happy with my size and overall physique but I do switch the weights around once in a while to spark a mini muscle growth , and when you train any muscle regularly you are left with almost a permanent pump , don’t mean to sound big headed I’m currently larger than this YouTuber I’m even larger now than when he was at his biggest and I’ve never taken any form of muscle drugs in my life so I am a big believer In training every muscle at least 3 times a week to gain maximum natural muscle I seriously doubt I’ll get any bigger now but like I said I’m happy my with size and physique so I now only maintain my physique I don’t chase more muscle growth

This seems to be a popular thing lately.
Not going to work if you’re over 30. Your body needs to recover.
I have found that variety and intensity will effectively help you grow your biceps, but rest is important.

@ScottHermanFitness could be interesting trying 30 days period in 3 different weight stages percentages of your strenght like 20% weight – 40% – 60% etc

Do you recommend targeting the different heads throughout the 30 days so for example when doing biceps, day 1 I would to regular dumbbell curls then day 2 do incline dumbbell curls, then day 3 do dumbbell concentration curls then day 4 do dumbbell hammer curls, then rinse and repeat throughout the whole 30 days?

Thanks in advance for any insight you can offer

Cheers

Our natural limits are probably a lot higher than we realize. Its just, it would be almost impossible to reach them to the point where literally noone in 100 billion years would ever reach their natural limit. When you plateau it doesnt mean you reach your natural limit. It just means your current programming and diet and sleep and supplements will not accomodate further growth. When you’re an experienced lifter its a lot harder for you to overtrain.

The BEST BEST BEST BEST BEST video on Daily full body workout program. That's how u explain. Not like "I did 500 "XQ uats" and grew like this u should give it a try too" like what the Fuchs that's so rude on thin and new beginners. They CAN'T DO 500 XWUAT EVERY DAY. U are fantastic bro to explain it in a scientific and accurate manner.
But bro I have one suggestion please please do it. Please train A beginner in this nuclei style workout every day every part and set a live example please that would be best thing ever on fitness on you tube. we would want to see how and how much growth happens

I've been busting out 100 reps without stopping using a straight barbell for many years. I do it more as a benchmark fitness challenge though like once a month maybe. It definitely wrecks my biceps lol. I used to use an empty bar but now I'm busting it out with plates added too.

I know this is an old video but seeing that dropset study 15 min in has finally confirmed what I have been experiencing a lot lately. I rediscovered Greg Plitt and he was always preaching about training beyond failure and so his workouts were oftentimes literally all dropsets. Or, he would do a superset but not in the way we commonly think of them. He would superset a chest exercise, with another chest exercise, and this at first sounds counterintuitive but that second chest exercise is functioning as a dropset but it is hitting the muscle in another way and also psychologically I've found, it pushes me to do more reps than I probably would have with a simple dropset because in my head I'm like okay, new exercise I better get at least this amount of reps. So yeah finally after training for 8-9 years I'm now making gains again by doing workouts that are either all supersetting same muscle group, or all dropsets..

And you didnt do one pull up at all during these workouts, what a bad excuse for a routine. Im just now turning 24 and my arms 26 inches, with fat of course, and i can do those workouts every day easily therefore youre lagging. I used to do curls every day for the past 3 years and you might as well sell your small dumbells because your focus should be heavy weight like pushups and chin ups. I was curling the 30 lb weights. Just so you know, my single set of 30 lbs dumbell curls improved from 18 at any single set to 60 in only 3 months. This means i can do 300 curls every day in only 13 sets while you take 10 sets for only 100. You might be thinking, thats not possible. If you eat something every day for a week, next week you wont crave that same food, this is somewhat a open ended argument for philosophy, but is truth for human body's muscles. If you limit your workouts to soul bicep curls, youll hit your numbers every day, but you will not improve the weight of your arm to give counter pressure for your bicep to hold onto and leverage. I'd recommend on and off pushups and curl ups, at least 40 curl ups every day. I like light weights becasuse i csn do as many numbers I want and I body wont ache nearly as bad as when i do a load of heavy weight exersizes. It isnt realistic to do an entire workout with only heavy weight alone because if you did then youd LIKELY have to have type 5 muscles that are trained well by hesvy weight that you have to get used to heavy weight training. This is why i do pushups. Pushups only lift about 60% of your body weight so still count as an ANAROEBIC low weight exercise. Ya you can do 100 curls every day but youre forgetting that 60%(160) is still 30 more pounds than what you are attempting with those weights that youre not using, 45 lbs and i can do 200 pushups. With this in mind, including if your triceps are much bigger than your biceps, youd be able to do 40-80 pushup in a single set. You should not do your workout every single day, you can work out every single day, but you cant improve this workout as often as applied unless every day or 2 is a different workout. ALSO, DONT WAIT BETWEEN WORKOUTS, IF YOU DO, YOURE LAGGING. Lightweight workouts build mass which is what you need, your muscles get used to being torn and begin tearing in new places and new directions. Your muscles become used to the pain do when you do really heavy lifting like bench pressing 340 pounds like my cousins. Simply suppose that after a year of biceps, your biceps are bigger than your triceps and you would need to try more tricep workouts to build tricep mass that is ACTUALLY needed far more than biceps to continue and enlarge your biceps. Wheres my research? I can do 20 chin ups in one day and feel misserable all week. When i do chin ups, thats admitting im doing a bicep workout right??? Well my triceps hurt 3x more than my biceps, my shoulders hurt more, because my biceps are larger than my triceps and shoulder, thats my research. I weigh 220 lbs, while someone 50 lbs lighter should be able to do somewhere of the lines of where I do inclined pushups as their pull ups for relatively similar results. If your pull ups are 30 in a set, then thats about where my triceps are at. Ive done pushups of different incline every day on and off with biceps all year 2021 year because i came to learn that not all bodies are proned to the same exersize. Go with what your best at, but dont let your other muscles lag.

I dont think people are " lazy" , its just that we've always been told to allow a rest day before training the same muscle again , everything you read and watch about building muscle seems to contradict the last thing you read or watched!
