zane may be a strength purist but if you're trying to thicken your arms curls, tri press, and shoulder press will help you add mass (they did for me)

The important thing is getting rest periods, set counts, and lots protein. However much protein you're getting through diet you're probably not getting enough for building without protein powder or supplements. Whey protein isn't too expensive if you buy big and it tastes pretty good (make it with milk and drink lots of milk).

unfortunately you're not really gonna see that much improvement size-wise just doing calisthenics in the morning. If you wanna do some workouts for aesthetics increase you reps. doing say 2 sets of 12 or even up to 15  will get you some good visible growth but won't increase strength as much as 4x6 and 3x8. zane might correct me here but I think it's correct for the most part.

TL;DR: get more protein regardless of goals. do curls and tri-press for 2 sets of 12-15 for appearance muscles. don't do it everyday, muscles grow on rest days. it's difficult to make high improvement if you don't go to a real gym :/

Doing 1-3 reps focuses on power. (Heavy weight, focusing on speed)
Doing 1-5 reps is best for increasing strength. (Heavy weight)
Doing 8-12 reps is best for increasing size. (Moderate weight and higher reps gives a great amount of overall volume and time under tension)
Doing over 12 is best for endurance. (Lots of reps, but to get this many reps a lighter weight is used)

Also, I just spent a half an hour looking through the leangains facebook page to find this comic

Hahahahahahah
I can't wait to be able to move south and never see that shit again.
In those pictures is what I should have, however - we only got like 2 feet of snow this year, and the maximum accumulation was only like 7" at once.



I am both happy and sad about this.
