best and fastest way 2 increase size of arms

[Debaser]

Four inches? We're talking you're going to have to add 40-60 lbs of muscle to your frame.

That From Xero guy is the same mind as me!

the best way to get bigger arms is to get bigger overall.
that said: do heavy back and chest work (e.g. weighted chins, weighted dips, rows, deads etc) and only a few sets of direct arm work such as skullcrushers and BB curls.

hope this helps

When you find the "universal" routine for everyone let me know!!

yeah, really!

just work at it. if gains came easy, we wouldn't need boards like EF!

You are talking about alot of weight gain. I had 14.5" arms at 170 (with 6 months of training), and currently weigh 221 with 18.5", so that is a 51 ibs gain in weight, and I'm a bit leaner than I was at 170, so its closer to 60 ibs of lbm gain.

In any event, I've found that doing trisets (3 lifts back to back with no rest) and drop sets, all with the heaviest weight I can handle (usually each set in the 4-6 rep range) seems to yield the best gains for my tri's and bi's, as well as training them very frequintly. I added 1" to mine during a 10 week period recently, by doing this, however I had not seen any improvement prior to that in 9 months. Heavy compound movements for the back will help with bi's alot, and heavy presses for chest and delts will stimulate alot of the gains you see in yoru tri's.

so far, mad negatives on my arms have worked well... just strict curling and preaching.

recently, I saw this guy from my gym having like 16-17 inchs arms but weighs around 160lbs ?????

barracuda, I laugh at those guys, it just looks silly when your thighs and arms are the same size. I used to know a guy like that. With 17" arms, stick legs, and a flat chest. He could bench 185 for about 3 reps too. He had nice delts too though.

Yeah, BBF, people like that piss me off. They focus on their upper body (arms especially) and neglect everything else. I wish someone would put them in their place, because they all think they're such hot shots. Probably can't even squat their bodyweight.

BFS, yeah, Ive seen guys like that trying to squat or deadlift and can't do their own bodyweight on either. Fortunately, I had a little guidance (my first workout partner was a powerlifter) when I started, and trained my entire body from day one.
