My experience with the nuclei overload training



Nuclei Overload Training refers to incorporating a training in which the main focus is to increase amplify the total number of nuclei in the cells of the muscle.

I came across this sort of training while surfing YouTube. The technique is to train a single muscle with a isolation movement for higher repetitions and lesser weights.
For Example, For a novice lifter, to nuclei overload the muscle-Biceps, barbell curl with 12.5kg or 15kg for 10 Sets of 10 Repetitions making it a total of 100 Repetitions. Training continuously for 30 Days and avoiding Biceps day seperately.

I personally eagerly thought about using this technique as I had biceps which measured 14 inches, which is considered average.
After 30 days of training the biceps daily, my biceps measured 15.25 inches strict.

I thought of using this same technique with my weakest muscle, that is, the calves and chest, but unfortunately, using the exercises machine incline chest press and calf raises for similar 100 reps each daily, but unfortunately there was not even a slightest of growth, and more unfortunately, my Bench PR dropped from 100 KGs to 97.5 KGs.

After a year, during the ongoing Covid Wave, devoid of Gym necessities, I planned to target my Lats muscles in the same way, I did 100 Pull-ups regularly for 2 Months straight and the results were astonishing- not only did I become a hell lot wider and stronger on my pull-ups (from max 17 Reps to 32 Reps), my biceps size has grown from 15.25 to 15.75 inches as well and my grip strength became a lot firmer.

As per my opinion certain muscles like biceps, Lats, forearms, triceps, abs respond better to nuclei overload training that muscles like chest,deltoids, legs and back as a whole.

Can you grow your wrist size?

Image
The skinny wrists are very frustrating and, the curious thing is people with decent and above average muscle gains after years of training get utterly upset by having those skinny wrists which is believed to be purely genetic and cannot be developed with training. My take on the subject is a bit different from popular perception. I have had the privilege of a skinny frame and have embarked on the journey of increasing my wrist size from 5.9 inches to 6.3 inches within a span of two years. I have diligently and regularly followed the following things- * Include a heavy compound movement in each day of your training. * Get in the habit of re racking heavy weights by lifting, not rolling. * Train forearms 3x a week, not more. * Use free weights instead of machines. * Do not use straps or gym gloves. * Hang daily for about 30 seconds. * Improve your pull-ups.

How I did grow my calves from 12.2" to 13"

 Back, Legs and Calves have been my weakest part of all body parts since I started training. My Back has been primarily weak because from the age of 12 to until joining the gym, I used to focus only on pushing movements like the overhead press, different types of pushups and some core work. But, with increased focus on pulling movements I literally improved my back musculature a total three sixty degree from scrawny to muscular. Coming the the leg muscles, I had strong and veiny legs but they they lacked size. So, I focused a lot on compound heavy lifting like back squats, front squats, sumo deadlifts, conventional deadlifts, romanian deadlifts, deficit deadlifts, snatch grip deadlifts, good mornings et cetera. And they grew to a great extent. But, coming to the calves, I used to train them for 8 sets every week at the end of leg workout. And they were scrawny as hell. And there came a time when I was so insecure to wear shorts anywhere but inside at home. I decided to train them t...
