Darky,

I've a few questions, hope you can find the time to answer them. Some of the questions may seem a little naive but there is just too much information on the net. I'm not looking to get bulked like yourself but would like to put on some muscle mass. At the moment, i've only managed to trim myself down but have not put on that much muscle. Anyway, here goes;

a) How does one increase the thickness of their arms? I understand that the triceps play a large part in this albeit the belief of many that focusing on biceps is the way to go. Is there a specific exercise or is it just a matter of hitting them hard?

b) I'm not sure if I provided you with sufficient information in terms of what I want to achieve, but what kind of routine would you recommend to someone like me. If you need more information, please tell me what more you need to know.

c) I've seen people with different routines. Some start of with a warmup set before increasing their weights as they move along sets. They then end it by taking the weight down a notch (warm down set???) I dunno. As I am looking to put on some muscle mass (if this term even makes sense at all), what kind of routine should I be looking at?

d) As I am not looking to get to large, how many sets and reps would you suggest I do for each muscle group? Also, how many different types of routines for each group, per session?

Hope my questions make sense, and I am looking forward to your reply. If you need me to provide you with more detail, please do ask.

I just read your other thread. Ah well, do let me know if anything I asked isn't covered there. From what I understand from the other thread, one needs to go for intensity if one wishes to increase his muscle mass. What will one achieve from doing more sets, with more reps (lower weight)?

Cheers.
