You will eventually. I know guys that have focused on back and chest hard and weigh 220 and now do sets with a weighted belt of an extra 45 pounds. Eat right sleep right and workout right and it will come. Biggest thing I have learned over past 14 months is that the amount of weight is not as important as the form and speed. I’ve made great strides by incorporating pauses in my different exercises at different places in the reps. Also focusing on slow twitch muscles. If I take curls for example I use enough weight that my primaries fail soon but it’s not too much that my secondaries can’t move it.
Sit on an inclined bench one notch from the top slightly below 90 degrees. Take two 25 pound dumbbells and do 15 hammer curls simultaneously then without setting them down do 15 curls twists simultaneously then set them down rest 15 seconds grab the twenties and do 20 alternating hammers then do twenty alternating twists that’s one set. Keep back tight against bench. I do two sets of those and my primary fails and secondary takes over. Your arms will be on fire

Yeah hopefully I can get up there haha and that makes a lot of sense! I do a lot of that some stuff especially pausing in a lot of different positions to get that tension and it works good for me. I felt better on the assisted as well with muscle connection. I can do 8 without assisted but it doesn’t feel as good

The craziest thing I find is everybody’s body doesn’t respond the same and this is repeated time and time again… Whether it’s gear or workout routines or dieting… As I stated before if I have the access I’ll do weight assisted Pull-Ups but at the same time even if I have access more than likely I will not use it because it just kills my shoulders… So I do favor the lat pulldowns and that incline t-bar… I do hear a lot of great things about pull-ups and it adding some killer Mass I just wish my shoulders weren’t so pussified…
