I train for strength 3 times a week, but I wish I had bigger arms/shoulders.
Should I get a pair of dumbbells and do some high volume low weight exercises for hypertrophy during my rest days or would that interfere with recover?

Just do more arm/shoulder work during your workouts. Also if your doing 3 times a week you best be doing full body and not some moronic split.
whats wrong with split
>3 day a week brosplit
so what
You're likely only hitting each muscle group once a week
yeah but isn't that enough?
Twice a week is what you should aim for
Stop being a dyel and do starting strength instead
>do starting strength
>4 mins later
>don't do starting strength
k
Just do stronglifts my dude, strength will skyrocket and arms will enlargen.
Ignore startingstrength, no point doing cleans and jerks, just row.
not sure if troll or just ignorant but that is worse than SS in terms of making you a TRex the opposite of what OP wants
>yeah but isn't that enough?
Read the OP. The one you wrote. Now, answer the question yourself.
>3 day split
dude
I would do them as accessory work on your push and pull days for that extra oomph to not frick with recovery and keep weights low and use them like a tension assisting tool than heavy weights to help you flex hard and more.
>I train for strength 3 times a week
what's your routine look like?
its programmed after heavy light medium
its called garage gym warrior
andybaker.com/product/garage-gym-warrior
Is it this? post the program anon, surely the "light" day hits the arms more right? is it full body on each day? Post it
Its in the /plg/ OP the book called KSC Training
but yes it does the idea is theyre still small so I want to hit them more, unsure if this would interfere with recovery on rest days is what Im saying
I mean if you're happy with the strength progress you're making, I would probably try adding some isolation stuff at the end of each workout just pick one muscle(group) per day and hammer it
like delts on heavy day biceps on light day and tri's on medium, and just make sure you're doing everything right for hypertrophy
No that will interfere with recovery. Most people do too much volume at too low an intensity.
You need you balance intensity with volune which is why starting strength, texas method, 5x5 which are lowet volume but much higher intensity work so well but im digressing.
Take your rest days and make sure you are eating enough
All I do is to get biceps, shoulders, triceps, etc. with the dumbells. I have them only because of room in my place.
Doesn't do anything. It must be genetics :/
So stop training for strength and start training for hypertrophy, you do know you can switch between the two when you feel like it right? Do anons really just do the same routine for years at a time?
Do PPLPPLx
Didn’t read the rest, but if you do PPL should hit everything and shouldn’t have problems
Enjoy
