How to Build Massive Arms

June 11th, 2010 No comments

Guns, jacks, pipes, hooks, pythons… Regardless of what you call them, the fact remains that most guys want bigger arms. While they are nowhere near as impressive as a huge set of traps, you still do not want to have an extra six inches of space in your shirt sleeves; that is for sure. So the question is how to build massive arms? The answer is not as simple as you might think. If it were easy, you would see heaps of dudes walking around sporting 18 inch arms. But that simply is not the

case.

It has been said over and over again that in order to add an inch to your upper arms you need to gain ten pounds of bodyweight. This advice has become gospel and it seems that almost everyone agrees with this these days. Real world proof shows that this is not the case, however. Walk into any public gym on a Monday night at five o’clock and you will see quite a few skinny guys, weighing no more than 170 pounds, who are sporting decent sized arms.

Many of them probably have not gained m

ore than 10 or 15 pounds total since they started conditioning but they all have put more than an inch or two on their arms. This is because localized hypertrophy/muscle growth will take place if enough volume is present, without a large increase in bodyweight. Look at the calves on soccer players or the forearms on mechanics. But this only happens up to a certain point.

So these young guys read in some magazine about how to develop bigger arms and start by doing ten sets of arms two or three d

ays a week. The volume is enough to elicit a growth response and they may even get a good eight weeks out of this and a quick two inches of arm growth in the absence of any significant weight gain. Seems to defy the ten pounds per inch rule, right?

But what happens after that? Where do they go from there? The gains will stop and there will be unquestionably no more arm growth whatsoever unless they make some drastic changes. And that is the drawbacks of high volume training- where can you go when you plateau? Add more volume? At what cost? How much volume can you add? If ten sets isn’t enough should you try twenty? And then thirty? And eventually a hundred?

There’s nowhere to go with this approach. Like I said, it is great for some rapid gains on your arms but isn’t a long term approach. Once you hit a plateau you have no choice but to start lifting heavier weights and eating more. More weight on the bar and more food on your plate is the fastest way to increase the size of any body part. All the fancy supersets, drop sets, tri sets, pre exhaustion, post exhaustion techniques in the world won’t help in the least if you are not doing those two very important things.

Beginners can train the arms three times per week and intermediate and advanced lifters seem to do better training them twice per week. Stick with big exercises like close grip chin ups, barbell curls, hammer curls, towel curls, dumbbell curls, parallel bar dips, close grip benches, and lockouts. You shouldn’t need more than 2-4 sets of biceps and triceps twice per week to achieve optimal growth, providing that you are always increasing your loads and steadily adding more calories to your diet. After a couple of heavy sets finish your arm workout by getting the biggest pump possible with one or two higher rep sets.

6 Great Exercises For Bodybuilding

June 9th, 2010 No comments

When many people start bodybuilding, they do exercises that are designed to isolate muscles. This looks like the best way to go about things, but you should really consider doing some compound exercises. These really are better for bodybuilding, and they will produce much better muscles.

If you wish to use compound bodybuilding, then know that you are going to need to do them right, and once you finish doing them you will need to rest. This is very, very important. Now with mo

6 great exercises for bodybuilding

6 great exercises for bodybuilding

st bodybuilding programs you have three major components, and it is no different with compound exercises. These components are correct exercises, high protein diet, and finally adequate rest.

First off, try some squats. These are one of the most important bodybuilding exercises, and they emphasize the quadriceps. They are also good for the calves, lower back, and of course the hamstrings. This will do a great job of building strength.

If you do squats you will find that you can build up soli

d muscles quickly, and they will in fact build up faster using this method than with any other. If you do perform your exercises like this, then make sure you have a spotter. Doing this will ensure your safety.

Leg presses are another good way to develop muscles. This one works particularly on your quadriceps along with your calves and hamstrings. This will show you how developed your lower body is, as well as what level of strength it has.

There are machines out there that will help you to

Title › 6 Great Exercises For Bodybuilding

do leg presses, and they will do a great job of helping you push the weight away from you.

Deadlifts are considered to be one of the best exercises that you can do. The problem is that it must be done with the right technique, and it must not be overdone. If you do this too much then you will find yourself with a damaged spine.

Deadlifts are fairly easy, and they are quite simple. All you need to do is bend over and pick up a weight straight off the ground. Keep your back straight the whole time you do this.

Another good exercise is the bench press. This is an exercise that your entire body can benefit from, and all you need to do is lay on a weight bench and then lower your barbell to your chest. You then need to push it out as far as you possibly can.

Dips will develop your upper body. This is a compound exercise that works on your shoulders, chest, and arms. You won’t need any machines to help you accomplish this exercise, all you need to do is use your body weight, and you should be able to pull it off quite nicely. Just remember to keep your body straight during the process.

Chin ups will go a long way in defining your muscles. You will find that there are several muscles in the body that can benefit from this particular exercise. Among them are the forearms, and of course your lateral muscles.

Those exercises will give you the best way to build up your body. They might be difficult, but if you push through then you will find that these exercises will boost and define your muscles. Just remember not to exercise more than five days per week. A certain amount of rest is absolutely necessary for this.

How to Build Massive Triceps

June 5th, 2010 No comments

When people ask me how to build big triceps I respond with two very simple words; “do dips.” Do dips and do a lot of them. Why, you ask? Have you ever seen the triceps development on male gymnasts lately? The dip is essentially the only real triceps move that they do and they’re absolutely jacked with huge, thick, horseshoe triceps. Whenever you use your bodyweight for resistance or bodyweight plus additional resistance via a chin/dip belt or weight vest, you stimulate a much greater

number of muscle fibers than you would if you simply used a machine. Machines do not recruit the smaller stabilizer muscles and do not force the muscles to contract naturally as they would in real life. Whenever possible you’ll want to try to move your body instead of simply moving the arm or attachment on a machine. And although free weight exercises are extremely beneficial and a much better option than training on a machine, moving your own body will always reign supreme when it comes to bui

lding muscle.

Dips can be performed on parallel bars or, if you are really strong, gymnastics rings. Be sure to squeeze the bars tightly, brace your abs as if you were about to be punched and lower yourself no lower than the point where your triceps are parallel with the ground. Going lower than that puts too much stress on the shoulders and getting the extra stretch is not worth the possibility of an injury.

Dips can be performed three times per week as a beginner. After a few months of that

Category › Muscle Building

Title › How to Build Massive Triceps

I don’t think you will be baffled about how to develop huge triceps anymore. When you get more advanced it is suggested to cut your dips down to twice per week. Although I used to love weighted dips and routinely had many of my clients perform them with numerous 45 pound plates strapped to their waists I have found, over the years, that there is simply too great a risk of injury with heavy weighted dips and now do not allow anyone in my gym to do dips with more than just one 45 pound plate. Anything beyond that seems to get too risky.

For intermediate lifters you could do one day heavy, where you add resistance to your weight belt, and one day light where you simply rep out with bodyweight. The two days should be about 72 hours apart. Once you get strong enough to do a 45 pound plate you will probably only want to use weighted dips as a rep exercise and not a heavy strength movement anymore.

To make dips more difficult without adding more weight, try doing them on gymnastics rings or on straps. You can also try holding your legs straight out directly in front of you as well. Either option will be very challenging and are fantastic muscle builders.

Apart from dips, the next best muscle building exercise for the triceps is a reduced range of motion close grip bench press or some variation of it. The top half of the bench press really focuses the stress on the triceps which is why you want to limit the range when training simply to increase the size of your arms. To do this you can set pins in a power rack or have a partner hold a few two by fours on your chest. These are called board presses. Three, four and five boar presses are awesome for building massive triceps and should be incorporated into your routine on a regular basis. When you get too strong to go heavy on dips without risking a shoulder injury, make board presses your heavy triceps movement and dips your light triceps movement. Keep pushing up the weight and reps and pretty soon people will be asking you about how to build big triceps like yours.

Train hard,

What is Kettlebell Training?

May 21st, 2010 No comments

A great way to supplement your current routine is to incorporate a short workout two or three times per week involving kettlebells. Kettlebells are small, bowling ball shaped weights that are attached to a small half-moon handle. They generally come in sizes similar to free weights, such as 8 lbs, 12 lbs, 18 lbs, 26 lbs, etc. Because of the small handle, they are ideal weights for training with a close grip allowing for a completely different muscle workout even when using the same exerc

ises.

Kettlebells, however, have a completely different purpose in the weight lifting world. In addition to the standard exercises that can be performed with them, the ideal exercises to use them with include snatches, swings, cleans and jerks which are fast exercises generally accompanied by dynamic motions. The idea behind kettlebell training is to use movements that are often found in day-to-day activities and then exaggerate them three fold for a movement that is both functional and streng

Some people don’t really understand why you would want to use kettlebells considering you could do the same thing with free weights. Well, because of the difference of the grip and positioning of the weight when it’s being held, it is much harder to handle and control. This being said, while being harder to control does equal more calories being burned and an increased reaction to the change of training, it can also mean an increased risk of injury.

When using kettlebells, be

sure to always exercise extreme caution and to avoid performing exercises with poor form. The best way to learn the proper technique is to work with a personal trainer who is familiar with kettlebells and have them teach you the correct positioning. Just a few sessions should be enough to give you an idea of how to manipulate them and how to avoid injury.

Kettlebells are an extremely effective way to burn fat because they require the use of all your stabilizer muscles; however, they are also very good at building strength. As stated before, they can be utilized as free weights while still providing a cardio workout due to all the swinging and excessive movements.

If you’ve recently hit a plateau, kettlebell training may be a perfect way to restart your metabolism and get you losing fat again. Don’t be afraid to try new things because it might just become your new favorite workout substitution.

Tips to Gain Weight and Build Muscle

May 8th, 2010 No comments

If you take a good look around your gym while your gym mates are exercising, you’ll realize that not very many of them are doing full body workouts. You are probably just like them, training most of your time on split routines of some sort to gain weight and build muscle. The fact is that most weight lifters are doing just that. Using split routines, however, causes two problems which tend to hold body builders back from achieving their goals of massive muscle gain and loss of fat.

Fi

tips to gain weight and build muscle

rstly, full body weight lifting exercises are really the most effective way to build muscle and gain weight fast. If you practice a full body workout routine, you will be assured of building muscle faster.

Secondly, those who continue to use split routines exclusively, thinking that it will prevent them from overtraining, end up working hard and making minimal progress and wondering why they cannot build muscle and gain weight fast, as they had expected.

The cold hard fact is that those who

are practicing split routines do not really know how to gain weight and build muscle fast. They are doing much too much work on each body part. Because they have split their routines, their multiple workouts cause them to train as long as they normally would, but on fewer parts of the body. An example would be instead of three sets of a full body routine on the bench press, they spend the same time and energy on performing fifteen set training the chest.

When practicing split routines, one of

Category › Muscle Building

Title › Tips to Gain Weight and Build Muscle

the unintended problems encountered is overlap. Split routines do not do well at eliminating overlap. The following example is typical of the overlaps seen in most split routines seen in weightlifting magazines.

* Monday – Chest and Shoulders
* Tuesday – Legs
* Thursday – Arms (Biceps, Triceps and Forearms)
* Friday – Back

On the face of it, it looks OK, but it isn’t. Why not train arms and back on consecutive days? When you train your back, you are also training your biceps with some considerable challenge. This can cause you to overtrain your biceps. Also, by training the back the day after the arms, the important muscles in your back will be reduced in their training. Your biceps are limiting factors in training your back, and you will have just trained the biceps on the preceding day.

If you can understand and accept the concepts revealed above, you can develop a better routine for building your muscles. One extremely popular weight training split routine is to plan a workout for five days each week, with no training on the weekends. The following example defines the routine.

* Monday – Chest
* Tuesday – Legs
* Wednesday – Arms
* Thursday – Back
* Friday – Shoulders

As you can readily see, this routine also hit the biceps two times in a row. The shoulders as well were also trained three times: once on chest day, once on back day, and again on shoulder day. Even more interesting is that back and shoulder day were, no pun intended, back to back. It’s not possible to rearrange this split to offer and significant improvement.

Many body parts overlap. It’s important that you take the time to think seriously about how you are going to design a split routine. It’s not as simple as identifying your body parts and assigning them to a standard split. Check out the following tips.

* Back exercises usually hit the biceps hard, and also affect the shoulders.
* Chest exercises will hit triceps hard, and also affect the shoulders.
* Leg and back exercises can overlap. Exercises like squats, stiff-legged dead lifts, and regular deadlifts work the lower back very hard.

When you design a split routine for yourself to gain weight and build muscle, remember these weightlifting tips. Make sure that you give each part of your body time to rest, so you won’t be overtraining.
