And the fact is there are many studies that back it up...

Show me the study that states that i need to add 30 lbs of boydweight to add inches to my upper arms... as this and other similarly-themed articles state.

Let me save you the trouble of looking... as there are none.

It's always taken both compound and isolation movements to excel as a bodybuilder.

bingo

-CNS

[Matt]

I the original statement it is made clear that compound AND isolation movements are needed...

[sales18]

Plus, dead lifts are fun!!!

[Matt]

Always love the deadlifts lol...

[Gears]

Always love the deadlifts lol...

I'll pass on the deadlifts... It's all about heavy unbelted squats for me.

[Matt]

I second that

[kickinit]

I have heard this before, its true to some degree. But I have seen people that can build legs and still have problems with legs and vise versa or huge shoulders and no guns. I think genetics plays a big roll as wel.

[Matt]

Bump, always good to read from time to time...

[JackSparrow]

Stuart Mcroberts wrote a few books on the training principles of 'less is more', the 'Brawn' series. He advocates concentrating on the basic mass building excerices in aid to gain mass over the whole body. There a good read.

[ninesecz]

[DSM4Life]

Madd matt i love you.

[Reelmuscle]

I must be the exception....175 lbs and close to 18" arms... (Id MUCH rather have bigger legs than bigger arms)

Good read, although like some people have stated, doing arms more consistently vs. deads, squats, etc. will yield bigger arms (unfortunately)

[Matt]

Madd matt i love you.

I love me too bro....

For all those that want big arms.

To get big arms, get yourself on a basic program that focuses on the leg, hip and back structure without neglecting the arms themselves. As you improve your squatting ability, for reps and say 100lbs, your curling poundage should readily come up by 30lbs or so if you work hard enough on curls. This will add size to your biceps. While adding 100lbs to your squat, you should be able to add 50-70lbs to your bench press, for reps. This assumes you've put together a sound program and have worked hard on bench. That will add size to your triceps.

If your desperate to add a couple of inches to your upper arms you'll need to add 30lbs or more over your body, unless your arms buy levitra vardenafil are way behind the rest of you. Dont start thinking about 17inch arms or even 16inch arms so long as your bodyweight is 130, 140, 150, 160 or even 170lbs. Few people can get seroquel online big arms without having a big body. Your unlikely to be one of the exceptions.

15 sets of arm flexor exercises and 15 sets of isolation tricep exercises with a few squats, deadlifts and bench presses thrown in as an afterthought will give you a great pump and attack the arms from all angles. However, it wont make your arms grow much, if at all, unless your already squating and benching big poundages, or are genetically gifted.

As your main structures come along in size and strenght (hip, thigh and back structure, and the pressing structure), the directly involved smaller body parts are brought along in size to. How can you bench press or dip impressive poundages without adding alot of size to your triceps? How can you deadlift the house and row big weights without having the arm flexors, not to mention the shoulders and the upper back to go with those lifts. How can you squat close to 2 times bodyweight, for plenty of reps without having alot of muscle all over your body.

The greater the development and strenght of the main muscular structures of the body, the greater the size and strenght potential of the smaller areas of the body. Think it through. Suppose you can only squat and deadlift 200lbs, and your arms measure 13inches. Your unlikely to add any more than half an in inch or so on them no matter how much arm specialization you put in.

However, put some real effort into the squat and deadlift, together with the bench press and a few other major basic movements. Build up the poundages by 50% or more, to the point where you can squat 300lbs for over 10 reps and pack on 30lbs of muscle . Then unless you have an unusual arm structure, you should be able to get your arms to around 17inches. If you want 18inch arms, plan on having to squat more than a few reps with around 2 times bodyweight.

All of this arm development would have been achieved without a single concentration curl, without a single pushdown and without a single preacher curl. This lesson in priorities proves that the shortest distance between you and big arms is not a straight line to a curl bar.

Good luck

Steroid cool.
