My man! Keep up the good work. We all have those days at the gym but you are doing the right thing. You are gonna get so jacked brother!

That's a great mentality to have in life. I attempt to be like that as well. I work 60+ hours a week running my supplement store, help my wife with stuff at home, help take care of her grandma and I still find a way to get the workouts done. If you have good time management and a reason for why you work, you will find a way!

Georgio is absolutely right. People are notorious for reporting incorrectly the amount of food they consume. There has been plenty of research in this regard. He's right, you should make sure the calories you are consuming are enough by tracking them. Volume of food doesn't necessarily equate to a lot of calories and so it can be a lot of food sometimes and not a lot of calories. Just track it to be sure. Good to push it in the gym hard but don't feel like more is ALWAYS better. There was a time where backing off the volume a bit helped my recovery and made me grow more muscle. Ability to handle volume is dependent on several variables, including how far into a training cycle you are, your stress levels, food consumption, exercise selection and many other variables. Lastly, sleep is SO important. Make sure you are getting adequate sleep. There are a lot of fancy ways to tweak a program to help you grow more muscle that are all far less important than sleep quality. Maximize that and you will be surprised how much it helps.

Cool to see how your training evolves over time. Looking forward to the video. Also, thank you for the discount code!

Speed of growth is quite variable person to person. They are very well vascularized, so the forearms in general tend to have good recovery speed, allowing you to hit them frequently in workouts. I would not assume smashing them to failure every time is necessary, though it can work well. Just shy of failure produces similar results with respect to hypertrophy, with less fatigue making recovery better. Good on you for working hard though! Intensity is great. As far as increasing the weight, I like a double progression style with forearm and wrist training. I stick with a 5-30 rep scheme, sticking to the upper half of that the majority of the time. I’ll usually manage to increase by 1 to 2 reps each set for each workout. By the time I hit 30, I’m upping the weight by the smallest denomination I have, (2.5lbs in this case for wrist curls), then I do it all over again. I could probably increase the weight sooner, but it’s better to not damage your wrist tendons. Very easy to do! Good that you are resting a lot! Good that your protein intake is high. Try to get it to that 0.8g-1g of protein per pound of body weight at least. Calories are so important too of course. 5-10% calorie surplus above maintenance calories is enough, though you can do more if you want. Not eating enough calories is a huge factor in recovery/progression. Nice you keep the intensity good! As far as weight for wrist curls, on the cable machine at my gym, my working weight is 80lbs per hand. I employ very strict form with a slow eccentric portion of the lift. I can reliably add 1-2 reps to each set every workout. I don’t quite remember what my weight was when I started because I didn’t write down the first few weeks of wrist curls specifically. I know my progress was very quick because of my previous experience lifting. I had muscle memory for sure, so it probably wouldn’t be a good measure for the speed someone else might progress. Stay consistent, dial in everything and you will be very happy with your progress! Best of luck with your training!

@Thorius B No problem friend! Hope your training goes well!
