Increasing arm size
- Thread starter the People's Champ
- Start date
Keep it simple, heavy compound exercises will build big guns, stay away from machines and pussy "shaping" exercises
Bis - standing barbell or dumbell curls, incline dumbell curls, preacher curls
Tris - close grip bench, weighted dips, skull crushers, overhead
extensions with 1 dumbell or ez curl bar
My arms were 12" when I started, they're around 18 1/2 cold now, it does work

these are the sane exact exercises that I do for arms, not in one workout, mind you. what is your opinion on incline or decline tricep extensions with the ez curl bar?
could anyone suggest some kick ass supersets for arms? I am open to anything.
Jesus 2, thanks for being there bud

my friend, who resembles chris benoit in almost every aspect, 'cept the ugliness, recommended that I do that a long time ago. I did those for a while, and I had gotten some thickness, but I stopped. looks like it is time to start that up again.

how does this supersetting thing work? one bi excercise and 1 tri excercise and you alternate with no rest?

Is there any real logic behind supersetting (this isn't a flame)
I mean, either way your arms are still going to have to move the load, weather you have a 1 minute break or a 10 second break?
Could somebody go into a little more detail about how and why supersets are beneficial?
I know you'll get a deadly pump, is this partially the reason? More blood flow and more nutrients being pumped directly to the muscle...
Can somebody elaborate a little.. thanks

Thats the way I do it, only I rest 1 - 1 1/2 minutes between supersets, just enough to catch my breath.
DrBones, not sure which type of supersetting you mean. If you mean supersetting for the same muscle, ie, do a set of bench press immediately followed by a set of flyes, its a means of pushing the muscle beyond failure, and in a short amount of time.
Supersetting the way I like to do it, between two muscles, is a more efficient way to train. Each muscle is getting lots of rest, but overall your body isnt, so it keeps your heart rate up during the workout, which keeps me much leaner, and gets me out of the gym a lot faster

Easiest way to grow some guns is to squat, dead and military. I can get up to 17inches without any arm excercises. Basically you need to cut out almost all momentum when you lift and get the greatest ROM you can get without hurting yourself. That means no using your back to swing the weights up or using your shouldes first to help, leave the ego at the door and get down to business.
