Bigger Arms

[gettingthere]

Hey,

Just a quick question and im pretty sure il get loads of different answers but id appreciate answers that actualy have worked for you.

My arms routine is biceps with chest and triceps with back and maybe biceps and triceps on another day.

Just wondering what are the best arm excercises for biceps and triceps to get them bigger?

Thanks

I don't subscribe to this train of thought. Basically there are two variables. 1) genetics 2)your training trial and error for whatever bodypart you are trying to build.

have you been training a while or you just starting out ???

work on your core and your arms will come, also i found that good form and isolation exercises work best.

Not to gloat, but my arms look great for not isolating them. I read the thread posted and i'm doing all the other things right. So know I have my answer without asking a question.It makes sence to me, though i'm considering starting to work them directly to how they grow, if they will.

I'm sure once you will be hitting them independently you will see great results, i put on over an inch on my arms in less than a month when i was younger by isolating. to each his own.

What? Not only bad advice but you managed to contradict yourself in one sentance.

If you wan't to grow lift HEAVY and eat MORE.

For arm growth heavy barbell curls and tricep extensions are good. But heavy compound lifts like bench, squats, and deads will help get your body in a state of growth. I like to do close grip bench to start my tricep workout making sure to keep the elbows flared out to target the triceps more.

To put things into perspective for you, before I started training 2.5 years ago I weighed 124lbs. Now I weigh 203lbs (ofcourse I'm not lean, but I'm still bulking, going to cut in September).

My point is, before training my arms were probably 11 inches. Now they're 17 inches. I stuck to a few basic exercise and my arms blew up in only 2.5 years (and for the record I'm 5'8). You can see my progress in the pictures below.

For biceps I concentrate my efforts on heavy barbell curls for low reps (5-8 reps), and heavy hammer or dumbbell curls.

For triceps I concentrate my efforts on heavy close-grip presses, lying tricep extensions, weighted dips, and cable pressdowns.

HOWEVER, in the course of these 2.5 years I have been eating like a horse, sleeping at least 8 hours, sacrificing drinking (haven't drunk since NYE, and won't drink until NYE of this year) etc. But if you stick to these basic movements for your arms, coupled with your basic squat, deadlift, rows, bench, shoulder presses, those arms will have no choice but to grow.

Wow! That's an awesome transformation.
