How to Get Ripped Biceps and Triceps
Posted by on April 18, 2009
If you are a serious lifter at all, I’m sure you want a pair of really strong, big and impressive, sleeve-ripping arms.
After all, for working out in the gym all the time, you deserve those bulging guns, and it is okay to desire them because I’m going to tell you how you can get them.
I know you really want big arms, and chances are you don’t have them yet because you don’t know the truth that I know about getting maximum gains in your arms.
It really doesn’t matter. It’s not your fault.
The following 3 basic truths are key to understand if you are ever going to get those massive arms.
1) In comparison to other muscle groups, the biceps and triceps are small
2) From your pulling movements for your back, the biceps get a significant workout
3) From your pressing movements for your chest and shoulders, you work the triceps significantly
From these points, you get significant information about training your arms.
The most important being the following…
You only need a minimal amount of direct stimulation to get significant and maximum gains in both your biceps and triceps.
If you’ve ever seen (like I have) a large number of guys who go to the gym regularly and don’t get a lot of gain with their arms, even though they continue lots of bicep curls and tricep extensions or kick-backs, you’re about to learn something really important.
Because the biceps and triceps get a large workout from working other muscle groups, and given that the biceps and triceps are both small comparatively, it’s really of minor importance to work the arms directly.
Remember: your muscles don’t grow in the gym. The work in the gym just prepares the muscles for growth, and the growth happens outside of the gym when you are resting and while you eat. New muscle tissue is synthesized in your body while you rest and while you eat.
Now that I’ve shared this secret with you, remember to not overtrain any of your muscles. Provide your muscles with both the necessary and sufficient time to recover, and you’ll see impressive results. I’m sure you don’t want your muscles to get weaker and smaller, which is what overtraining will do, so train appropriately.
Since you want to achieve serious growth in your arms, make it a point right now to cease placing a lot of emphasis on working your arms directly. You no longer have to perform sets that work only your biceps or triceps (like concentration curls or pressdowns). The truth is that strong, muscular arms are formed as a result mainly from heavy chest and back training.
Don’t get me wrong here. Don’t completely ignore training your arms directly. I’m just saying to make sure you don’t do too much of it.
