Learn How To Build Big Arms With These Essential Tips
Are your Arms so big that Popeye would be embarrassed to have an Arm Wrestle with you? Do the girls run for miles – towards you? Do friends and families avoid shaking hands with you for fear of getting their hands crushed? If you answered anything other than ‘yes’ – you need this article big time. So heres the thing. Most people think that to get big Arms the secret is just Bicep curl after Bicep curl after – you get the idea. Uh-huh-huh, the secret to building Arm muscles is far more refined…
Full On Attack
Like any musclegroup, Arms need intense stimulation to enable them to grow. To take those Guns to the next level the trick is to vary your exercises between fast, light sets for definition and heavier slow sets to gain mass. The greatest error that happens time and time again down the Gym is when people perform large sets of 10-15 reps concurrently. Then they come back moaning a week later when they haven’t seen any improvement. This is the very definition of madness! In order to see progress you must switch your workouts up in order to attack Arms from as many different angles as possible. If you do this, plus eat right and rest well you can’t help but see progress.
The Need For Speed
Ready, set, go! If you believe that the person who finishes the set first – or even who lifts the weight the most times is the winner. think again pal. Its a fallacy. The real trick to building Arms is to start with a very light set to warm up the muscles and get the blood flowing. THEN progress onto heavier and heavier weights with each consequent set. That way you are working on what are known as slow twitch and fast twitch muscle fibers. The other thing to do is to lift each of the heavier weights extremely slowly. That way you will enjoy explosive gains in muscle mass. Swinging weights around is also dangerous and a quick way to injure yourself. So control them. You might think it looks impressive to lift big weights and swing them all over the place. In reality, it just looks stupid.
Don’t Neglect Triceps
Again, this is a little known fact, but contrary to popular belief, it’s your Triceps NOT your Biceps that make up roughly two thirds of your Arm total mass. In order to see that pumped up ‘well rounded’ look that every serious Bodybuilder is rocking you seriously must smash the granny out of your Triceps using various exercises. Skull Crushers, Cable Pushdowns and Close grip bench presses are all extremely effective. The best thing is, they won’t just add mass either. If you focus on completing these exercises with same high volume, high speed, low volume, slow speed approach that I previously spoke about you will add definition and mass in equal measure.
