Bigger Arms!

Everyone wants BIG ARMS! And on many occasions I see the same recipe used to get those big guns...high volume training. People will train their arms to death. Hey it does work, but only for a short time. Then growth comes to a screeching halt. Then what? Where can you possibly go from here?

That's the big question. You can't do more sets and reps. It'll never work. There are some other ways to get the growth and a major switch would be to eat more, of course, and train heavier. If you repeatedly train with a high set and a high rep volume routine you're not training heavy. There is no way.

Now there are different protocols for beginners, intermediates and advanced lifters. And a shout out to beginners - you need not to jump to the advanced section because you need to go through the training maturation cycle.

The beginner should and can train arms 3 times a week, but with a lower volume still. Intermediate and advanced lifters need to lean towards a 3-4 set volume as well, but 2 times a week. The key component to go with this is progressive loading. Lifting heavier with keeping the form solid and going for it.

It will force results because it's change and it will elicit a response.

One of my most used exercises to date is the barbell bicep curl. It's the mother of all exercises for bigger arms in my opinion along with close grip bench for the triceps. DB curls are also nice and wide grip barbell skull crushers.  I don't like to do much with isolation work, but that is one exercise I see results with. There are other big exercises to do, but these are my favs.  And like other methods of training I like to end with a 'finisher' to get that blood burn in my final exercise!

Give it a shot - you will like what the mirror reveals!

Train with Intensity!
