    you can't just get bigger arms, your body distributes muscle according to a genetic blueprint that's predetermined, so if you want bigger arms, start squatting

    Control the negative and use an explosive positive making the muscles do all the work. Both the negative and the positive part of the repetition build strength and size. Work in the 6-12 rep-range with great intensity and your genetic make-up (how many type-2 fibers you where born with) will determine success. You cannot change your genetics with various training methods! Some people will never go far in bodybuilding because they are lacking in type-2 fibers.
