Good Muscle Building Workout For Ripped Arms

Everyone knows that every serious lifter is after an impressive pair of strong, muscular arms. There isn't anyone who wouldn't want tall, bulging biceps stacked on rock-solid, horse-shoe-shaped triceps. Who wouldn't work to have a pair of ripped, cut guns that burst through the sleeves of their shirt with brute force?

Without a good muscle building workout, it's difficult to develop muscular arms, regardless of how high the goal is on your agenda. There are three basic truths in designing a good muscle building workout to effectively stimulate arm growth:.

1) Relative to the other muscles, the biceps and triceps are small muscle groups.

2) All basic pulling movements for the back considerably stimulate the biceps.

3) Your triceps get stimulated by all basic pressing movements designed for the chest and shoulders.

Based on these 3 points, what can you understand about effective arm training? You need to realize this: To get the most gains in strength and muscle size, your biceps and triceps need only a little bit of direct stimulation with a good muscle building workout! But we've all seen those same misinformed people, week in and week out, wasting time on endless sets of bicep curls and tricep extensions.

Keep in mind that a good muscle building workout featuring chest and back training also stimulates your biceps and triceps to a very large extent. Couple this with the fact that your biceps and triceps are already small muscle groups to begin with and it becomes quite clear that direct arm training is of minor importance.

Remember, the gym is not where muscle growth takes place. The work you do as you lift weights simply kicks off the process of muscle growth. The actual process occurs outside of the gym when you are resting and eating, because this is when your body works to create new muscle tissue.

Since this is how it works, you really do not want to over train your muscles. If you want to see major results, you need to give your muscles time to recover. If you over train, your muscles may get smaller and weaker. To achieve major arm size, you need to move away from performing so many direct arm movements. Stay away from those never ending sets of concentration curls and tricep pressdowns. ltimately, getting strong and muscular arms comes from a good muscle building workout with heavy chest and back training, not overdoing the arms. I'm not saying that direct arm training isn't necessary, but it is best to ease off a bit. Check out these 2 arm routines to use as a part of a good muscle building workout....

Arm Routine #1

Barbell Curls -- 2 sets of 5-7 reps
Standing Dumbbell Curls -- 1 set of 5-7 reps

Arm Routine #2

Close-Grip Bench Press -- 2 sets of 5-7 reps
Standing Cable Pushdowns -- 1 set of 5-7 reps

Take all sets to concentric muscular failure, and then be sure to work towards progression by adding more weight or reps to your workout every week.

If you can incorporate this manner of thinking into your arm training routine, the growth that you can achieve in your arms will astonish you.

  • can muscles get smaller??????

    

  • @MegaSuperboy17 YEP! The less work you do the smaller they get. BUT - they retain the memory of what they were like. As soon as you hit the weights again they'll grow faster than they did before because they've already been that size.

    Make sense?

    If you leave anything alone, no matter what, it'll just start to decay and rot. Old houses are a good example, the ones where no one lives in them. They just seem to rot quicker than others .... weird!

  • @BEEFINandSHREDDIN yeah i realize this!!! but sometimes and when i train , my biceps get smaller, that weird cz while working out they should be bigger, and i work out 6 times per week!!!! that weiiiird!!

  • @MegaSuperboy17 - Biceps are really hard to get HUGE ... Triceps are alot easier to build up and they boost the size of your arms.

    Try deadlifts and chin ups instead of curls and focus on building your back. Your biceps will be forced to grow if your deadlifting 150Kg!

  • @EiiriiK1 he said that you have to train arms once a week

  • @MegaSuperboy17 I've experienced the same thing, i think it's just because the muscle's tired at that point and has a hard time flexing. once the fatigue comes out of the muscle try flexing it and see if it's any better.

  • this should have alot more views. great info!

  • @BEEFINandSHRDDIN do you not reccomend not doing bicep curls as they aren't beneficial then? Surely its better to work them directly?

  • HE DIDN'T SOLVE A THING THEY STILL SMALL.....

  • @EiiriiK1 Your muscles need a break so they can repair the tears, strengthen and enlarge, this is equally as important as lifting weights in the first place. What you're saying is equivilent to "why don't I just not sleep when I can accomplish more while I'm awake".

  • i do 10 bench press 10 chin ups 21 of the curls and 60 sit ups and 30 push  up and do three sets in that order could anyone tell me how to improve it or make it work better for me ?

  • im going at the gym 4-5 times a week.. im training hard evry time, why the fuck not train hard every time you train?

  • so your saying workout really hard one day a week?

  • @molotov8904 If you have seperate arms and torso muscle workouts, then you only need one arm workout a week because you work your arms hard when you do your torso muscle workout(s).
