obsessed with arm size
 

:cool:Bodybuilders have always been obsessed
with their arm size.And even the general
public is amazed and recognizes...


well developed arms.There is something powerful about a big and muscular pair of arms,
it's like they almost command respect.

But a big and well developed pair of arms is a hard goal to achieve.The thing that most of the trainees fail to realize is that you can't train just the arms
and expect them to grow.

The human body is a finely-tuned machine that will only allow for a certain amount of asymmetry.
So, if you devote your training energies entirely to building big arms, you would eventually reach a point of stagnation because you weren't training your legs.That means that your arms can't grow while the other body parts stay the same.The "super supplement" enhanced and the genetically gifted are obviously a different story.

In general, improvements in arm measurement are related to gains in lean body mass. According to many experts,
for every inch you want to gain on your arms, you need to gain roughly 15 pounds of equally distributed body mass. In other words, to make significant improvements in your arms, you have to gain mass all over your entire body.

So in order to build big arms it's best that you build a workout routine revolving around the three big lifts - the SQUAT, the DEADLIFT and the BENCH PRESS, and instead of doing 15+ sets of isolated biceps curls and triceps extensions that will just overtrain your arms, you could do a simple routine and try to get the poundage's up in time.

You could do a routine like the one listed bellow or similar without worrying about direct arm work :

Monday

Free squats 2X10
Lying leg curl 2X10
abs 3 sets to failure

Wednesday

Bench press 2X 6-8
Military press 2X 6-8
Dips 2x10-12

Friday

Deadlift 2X 5-8
Pull down 2 sets to failure
Barbel curls 2X10

Great post eazy. That was interesting.
