The timeless pursuit of BIG arms
Published: Wed, 01/22/14
A lot of
people spend this time of year trying
to cut fat or stick to resolutions. Those
are
good things, but I wanted to share something
with you that's a bit more
timeless...the
pursuit of big arms! ;)
Let's be
honest - there's never a bad time
of year to have big arms so give this tip a try.
-----------
Yes, most of
us know the tricep makes up 2/3
of the size of the upper arm, and for that
reason it shouldn't be neglected if you want
big arms. But that doesn't change
the fact that
biceps are often what we look for and notice first.
With that in
mind, I want to share something
I have found that will dramatically increase
the size and shape of the upper arm -
it's what I like to call BRACHO BUSTERS!
muscle that lies under the biceps. Properly
developed this muscle will increase the height
of the biceps and give thickness to the upper
arm when viewed from the front.
This is where it is and what it looks like:
Ok, here's
how it works...
Standing in
front of an adjustable low cable pulley,
set to knee height, attach a rope (as
in rope pushdowns,
or you can use a single cable handle as long as it is
quite
square).
Hold the rope or sides of handle as if you were going
to do thumbs-up
cable curls. Now turn your hands
in so that they are almost knuckles to
knuckles
(most-muscular or crab-pose style), let your elbows
flare out from
your upper body slightly and pull rope
or handle to your upper chest, hold the contraction
and down again.
After a few
reps you should start feeling it in the
"Brachos", and what makes it better
than traditional
hammer curls is that you can actually see the muscle
being
worked (mind-muscle connection!).
For best
results it is important to keep your thumbs
and upper arms aligned, and arms
slightly out from
your body at all times. I like to do 3×20 medium
weight,
really feeling and watching the muscle work.
Your biceps
will appear to increase in size within a
few days, assuming proper R&R and
nutrition are
provided.
Try this exercise after you have finished working
your
biceps. You'll love the feeling as your arms
ache, pump and GROW to new
dimensions!
Keep training hard,
P.S. Another great
way to increase the size of your
arms (and any other muscle) is to add in
effective
supplement. I'm especially excited about a supp
called Hyper
Gain Black...we talked about the
feedback he's been getting on it and its pretty sick.
"I'd like to
take the time to tell you how extremely
happy I am with Hypergain Black. I have
been on it
for about 3 weeks and last week I started the
Dark Horse Program,
about when to eat, and what
to eat at what times.
I truly believe that I have
been replacing my body
fat with muscle. When I started this program I was
only
able to bench press 175lbs, and today started
with 175lbs, then 195lbs, 215lbs
for the beginner
part of the program.
Decided with my partner to challenge
ourselves
on the BB bench press, and did 235Lbs 3 reps,
255lbs 3 reps and hell
we then tried to find our
max 1 rep amount, which ended up at 295lbs.
When I
was younger I could never get past 225lbs
on my bench press."
