Everyone who ever picks up a weight soon develops the desire for a set
of massive arms. It’s nearly unavoidable. Within a week after their
first workout most guys are start for searching the secrets of how to
get huge arms during every spare moment they have. Nearly everybody
loves to stretch their shirt sleeves or even cut them off.
Unfortunately, many people go about their arm training all wrong. One
of the biggest mistakes you can make when training for big arms is
using the wrong exercises. Kickbacks and concentration curls will do
very little to develop a set of impressive guns. If you really want to
know how to get huge arms, use my top ten biceps exercises and your arms will be exploding with new growth in no time.
Biceps:
Close Grip Chin Up- This is the king of biceps exercises because it
allows you to use the most weight and move your body through space. Any
time you can move your body through space, instead of just moving your
limbs, there is a higher level of neuromuscular activation which leads
to greater muscular development.
Barbell Curl- As far as isolation movements go, this is the best one
there is when it comes to building big biceps.
Dumbbell Curl- Another isolation movement that is nearly the equivalent
to the barbell curl. The added advantage is that when you can no longer
complete another rep you can stop doing them simultaneously and switch
to alternate curls to cheat a few more reps out.
Incline Dumbbell Curl- The added stretch here makes this a very effective bicep building exercise.
Hammer Curl- These target the brachialis muscle, which, when developed,
can add a great deal of mass and thickness to the upper arm.
Triceps:
Parallel Bar Dip- You wanna know how to get huge arms? Train your
triceps hard. Although everyone focuses on the biceps, the triceps
actually make up 2/3 of the upper arm and can really make your arms
look enormous if you train them properly.
When it comes to proper triceps training, there is no better exercise
than the parallel bar dip. Again, this is an exercise where you are
moving your body through space instead of just moving your limbs. If
you need proof of the effectiveness of dips you need to look no further
than the incredible arm development of male gymnasts.
Close Grip Bench- This is another compound movement which will pack
slabs of muscle on the triceps as it allows you to use a ton of weight.
Half Range Close Grip Bench Press aka Lockouts- This exercise is done
by setting the pins in the power rack so that they stop the bar about a
third of the way down from the top. This greatly overloads the triceps
and allows you to use extremely heavy loads. The end result is that you
will build huge horseshoe triceps.
Angled Bar Pushdown- I prefer the angled bar to the straight bar for
pushdowns because it is much less stressful on the wrists and much more
comfortable to handle heavy weights with. This is a highly effective
isolation movement which is pretty easy on the elbows; a rarity for
isolated triceps exercises.
EZ Bar Lying Triceps Extensions- This is another highly effective
isolation exercise for the triceps. Unfortunately, this exercise can
lead to elbow problems. For this reason it should be used less
frequently than the others and the reps should be kept a bit higher;
preferably in the 8-15 range.
Stop wasting your time with any arm exercises that are not on this
list, immediately. Use those listed above and hit them hard and heavy.
You won’t be asking anything else about how to get huge arms if you do that.
