I have the same damn problem. Long thin arms that just don't seem to be too intersted in growing. If length determined the ultimate bicep as opposed to the peak I would be Mr. O. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

Same problem, 6'4" long ass arms, which are finally starting to gain some serious size. Here is my routine. Bi's Across the body hammers, or one arm hammers on the preacher bench one arm curls on preacher bench or incline curls Tri's push downs either with bar, rope or kickbacks reverse curls or a machine for the tri's dips What is working for me is that fact that I never do the same exercises from week to week. I switch everything up from week to week and go as heavy as possible. Good luck Tall bro's ------------------ [This message has been edited by dieselnj (edited October 10, 2000).] ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

I'm 6'3 and it's really hard to put nice size on my arms. I do arms on fridays, starting with tris and then ending with bis. close grip bench - 4 sets, 6-8 reps barbell curls - 5 sets, 15-12-10-10-3xdrop ------------------ ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

hey dude. 6'0 with long ass arms. they are now 20 1/4" i learned not to overtrain them. arms are used in every excercise except for most leg excercises. keep in mind back, shoulder and chest days all give your arms a fair workout. i do two excercises for bis and 3 for tris. tris do make up the major portion of your upper arms so if you want larger upper arms, hit your tris a bit more than your bis. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

I have really long arms. 6'2" but have a wingspan of nearly 7'. I have always disliked training arms...I like the big power movements. My arms measure about 19 right now. Anyway, here's the routine. Train them hard, heavy, and like an animal! Truth ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

I've tried everything...My arms are my worst bodypart, but are slowly becoming my best. They just would not grow (at all) until I started training as follows: Tricep: Skull Crushers (French Press) Tricep: Cable Pressdowns Tricep: Overhead Cable Triceps Extension --------------------------------------------- ------------------ Visit my website (free of all Musclehedz pictures) at http://profiles.elitefitness.com ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

6'1" with long arms. Had same problem, arms look respectable when in double bicep pose but when by my side they looked like strings. I find that they are very easy to overtrain. They get worked synergistically whenever you train chest, back and shoulders. I have tried a lot of methods but they only started to grow when I cut back on sets. They are a small muscle group and only reqire 3-5 sets for bis and 4-6 sets for tris in total. I used to do at least double that amount and when I first tried doing less sets I felt guilty like I'd not trained them enough. Believe me it worked and still is. Stick to basic exercises as mentioned by the other bros such as close grip press, french press, pushdowns, bb/db curls, hammers. Choose just a couple of exercises per workout (vary them from w/o to w/o) and after a warm up set go all out on the few sets that you do. Heavy but controlled. Occasionally I do throw in 1 'shaper' or isolation excercise at the end as a finisher or at the beginning sometimes as a pre-exhauster. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

DO BIS AND TRIS TOGETHER. FORCING THE BLOOD IN A CONCENTRATED AREA LIKE THIS IS INCREDIBLE. FOR BICEPS AT THE END OF MY WORKOUT MY PARTNER AND I STAND FACE TO FACE WITH AN EASY CURL BAR WITH THE 35'S ON EACH SIDE. I WILL DO 5 REPS THEN PASS THE BAR TO MY PARTNER. WE GO BACK AND FORTH TO SEE WHO CAN LAST THE LONGEST. WITH A LITTLE AC/DC BLASTING IN THE BACKGROUND AND LOOKING YOUR PARTNER IN THE EYE THE WHOLE TIME YOU GET PUMPED BEYOND YOUR WILDEST IMAGINATION. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

I'm 6'2 and about 200lbs. I have very long arms but they measure 17 1/2 cold. They are kinda out of perportion to my shoulders. I have had the most luck by using only dumbells. This way i can isolate each muscle better and get a good contraction. I also think its best to do tri's the same day. Seated Alt DB Curls 3x12 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

My bi and tri routines are pretty similiar to the rest of the bros. For my forearms I usually do them right after my shoulders/ traps. My forearms have always gotten a great pump after doing sh/traps. So I started hittin the forearms right after to totally exhaust them. I have found this works far better for me then doing them on arm day. I'am also a tall guy at 6'2". So mass on arms has been an effort. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||
