There is nothing better than having big guns. Our arms the
most seen part of our body, and the one thing secret or
openly every weight lifter would like are those big,
ripped, biceps and triceps that fill out the sleeves to our
shirts. A nice horse shoe would look great as you flex
your triceps muscles. So, how do we get ripped huge arms?
Though most people want great looking arms, they lack the
understanding of how to train them effectively.
Three things are very important to understand in how to
build ripped huge arms. The first is that your biceps and
triceps are considered small muscle groups. The second is
the biceps are used in some facet in all pulling motions,
and third that triceps are taxed in all pressing or pushing
movements. It is important to understand how you are
stimulating your biceps and triceps before you even get to
isolated bicep and triceps exercises.
Because your biceps and triceps are a small muscle group
and used in all upper body movements they need less direct
isolation than people think. How many people have you seen
who complain about the size of their arms and are doing
endless bicep curls and triceps pressdowns.
One of the biggest pressing movements the bench press
engages the triceps throughout the entire movement. It is
the triceps that often fatigue before the chest muscles
ever give out. When you look at the weight and stimulus of
a bench press as compared to a triceps extension, you can
see overwhelming load stimulating your triceps with a bench
press.
Serious ripped arms comes from consistent intense effort in
big back and chest movements. Muscle mass is a total sum
gain and the bigger the weight and movement the bigger and
more ripped the entire body gets. You will get a more
ripped and defined triceps focusing on big chest movements
than ever doing tons of triceps isolation movements. The
best part is you will get a better chest as well.
Important for developing defined muscles is the fatigue
factor. Often by the time you get to isolation exercises
like curls and extensions, your biceps and triceps are
already fatigued and don't have very much force output. We
then by performing extra exercises on our smaller muscle
groups send our triceps and biceps into overtraining which
decreases performance of all strength training exercises.
Don't forget about your diet plan. If you are going to
train hard you need to refuel your body for recovery and
growth. That means eating carbohydrates as well. The #1
issue in most muscle development diets is too much protein
and not enough carbs. For most weight lifters it isn't
hard to get their protein shakes in. The problem lies with
the fact that your entire strength workout requires 100%
carbs for energy. If you don't have the complex
carbohydrates stored in your muscle cells you lack the
energy need to train at your max. You will always be
coming up short with your results.
One more thing about diet, taking an Arginine supplement or
Nitric Oxide supplement will support you in achieving
larger arms. L-arginine is converted in nitric oxide (NO,
NOX) in the body so many products use either Arginine or NO
interchangeably. There is some debate to whether NO gives
your muscles a pump look, which some swear by and others
don't see the instant difference. What isn't a debate that
Arginine is the amino acid that supports optimal oxygen
levels in your blood stream. More oxygen means more energy
for more intense workouts which leads to bigger arms, and
more oxygen means greater removal of harmful toxins that
destroy your muscle cells. Whether it gives you a pump or
not taking a nitric oxide booster will give your muscles
and workouts a needed kick.
