Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below How do you get your damn biceps bigger and fuller? Also, how do you get your pectorials the nice line in between them. I mean I love being tall, but it is definitely harder to look muscular. All my fucking muscles are stretched out. By the way, I am 6'4" at 230 lbs and have very fucking long monkey arms like a basketball player. I want to look like a Jose Canseco. Help me out. Also, I never took steroids and don't plan on ever using them.
Tall Weightlifters, I have a question

well im basically all arms and legs. with no chest and no back and no sholders lol.
i would train them twice a week. do the first two sets heavy for about 6 reps with a basic excerse like heavy dumbell curls and heavy close grip bench. then what i like to do is strip off all the weight on the barbell, lean foward slightly to where im getting in no cheat and rep it out with the bar. and for triceps i do close grip pushups on my knees for as many reps to burn it out

I`m 6ft 3 and was 220 and went to 250 by EATING alot and ADDING heavy deadlifts and Squats to my routine. Everything grew with that-Arms, shoulders, traps ...
Make sure you`re recovery time is ample enough for your workouts.

I'm only 6'1ish... around 240... but my arms aren't the best part on my body for sure... my biceps are really strong, my triceps are getting there... and they have peak, but not much thickness.
I have noticed that they have grown when I hit my back heavy and my tris have gotten better with the new style of bench I am using.
But Deadlifts, squats and heavy compound exercises help give you an overall pump of your entire body... so the more of those you do, the more likely your entire body will grow.

Yeah.. although us tall people may take a while to pack on the muscle, once we get really muscular we become the man mountains.
Nothing more spectacular then a huge six footer guy with gigantic arms and pecs.
Imagine if those long monkey arms had raging biceps and triceps.

Try centering your workouts around heavy compound work, that'll help everything. For arms, try heavy negatives, also I used to do 21's and they worked pretty well for me. I'm around 6'6'', 6'7'', so I know where you're coming from. I used to be a fairly solid 230 - 240, but I never had really large arms.

Yeah, like Skaman said... it's the powerlifting style... Spatts had a great post on a thread not too long ago where she cited Tate... it went through all the aspects of the style. I believe, Spatts even had a video clip of her doing it... although, she is wearking a loose shirt, so you can't see the arch in her back as well... I think she should do it with a sports bra... or maybe.. .completely naked?

MG,
To look like Jose Canseco you must first have similar genetics to Jose. Canseco also used some additional supplements to assist his tremendous genetics. I met him in Toronto and I actually wrote a story about it here on Elite.
Consistant workouts, diet, and rest will grant you whatever results your body is capable of producing. @ the time you reach your plateau, then and only then would I advise the use of additional supplements. I know you did not ask about that in particular but it seems to go well along with the subject matter.

human physiology is human physiology.
there is absolutely no reason why taller people should train differently.
as for not looking big enough.... just remember basic math...
any 3 dimensional object (like the human body)
will when 1 dimension is increased by x (height, vertical)
and the shape stays the same,
become X to the third power greater in volume (mass).
a 5"0 guy who is 180 lbs lean (big)
would by this formula have the same build as a 7 foot tall guy
who weighs 493 lbs lean.
of course that just doesn`t happen so short guys are forever buffer than us
thats just how it is. however it matters not.
because when we stand next to them, its still clear we outweigh them by a ton.
im 6"4 and 16 yr old btw... i should still be growing
