[quote=”unkn0wnx” post=128249]Ever wonder how she gets her arms?

I would assume trial and error, learning what exercises work and dropping what doesn’t.

Plus a whole lot of luck and pluck . . . B)[/quote]
By blasting 3-4 sets to exhaustion?

Hmm, in that particular vid-clip?

That Olympic bar is about 40#, and she has slapped 2x 10# on, too. That’s about 30# per arm, but you get some “cheating” leverage from using a BB. Given her form (not exactly on the side of strict) I’d say she’s using too much weight. Better to go with slightly less weight, and a pair of dumbbells so one arm (stronger) isn’t assisting for the other (weaker).

My own personal experience, especially with small muscles (i.e. bi’s tri’s and delts) it best go by how it “feels” as opposed to letting the amount of weight dictate what you’re doing. If don’t get a pump after 2-3 sets, you’re doing something wrong, probably using too much weight and/or letting the motion carry the weight instead making the targeted muscle(s) do the work.

RX Muscle Interview w/ Autumn . . . B)

Autumn Swansen will look to defend her Ms. Physique International title next week at the Arnold Classic, but first, she checks in with Dave Palumbo on RXMuscle’s Road to the Arnold (powered by Quest Nutrition).

Swansen talks about her prep for the upcoming Arnold, her appearance at the 2016 Olympia, and trying to fend off the electric Dani Reardon.

Came across this while on a random surf-patrol, thought I’d pass it along . . . :blink: :woohoo: B)

Maybe, it’s kinda hard to tell. :unsure:

Looking at the video and comparing that to the photos taken 2-4 yrs ago, she appears about the same in some, others lesser.

In the video she is lean, has good visible definition of the musculature – offseason controlled diet rather than for contest prep?

That might be part of it, and she’s probably training differently now – perhaps for maintenance instead of building size.
