You want a pair of sleeve ripping muscular biceps that commands attention wherever you go? If you're looking for the answer to that question, you must realize that to get the growth you want on your arms you must follow some rules religiously, only then will you get the best results. Just blasting out set after set of bicep curls in the gym isn't the way to do it. Below you'll find all what you need to do to get some growth in your biceps.
Too many gym users are performing set after set of exercises where the weight they're using is too light, and this is sending their progress backwards. Training with heavy weights enables you to place a huge amount of stress on your biceps causing more muscle fiber recruitment and more blood pumping into the biceps.
Although lifting the heaviest weight possible for a complete set is important in building arm size, it's also crucial that you lift using good form in order to get the results you desire. Case in point: A lot of people use momentum when curling the weights up which is a big mistake.
While lifting the weights you must lift them for the correct amount of sets and reps. According to the muscle program that I'm currently using, the ideal rep range for stimulating growth is between 5 to 7 reps for a total of 2 heavy sets per exercise. This means that the weights should be heavy enough for you to complete 5 to 7 reps with proper form - that's it. Any more than that indicates you're not lifting heavy enough. Over training your biceps is easy, and this rep and set range prevents any over training.
Without adequate calories, building big arms would be a far fetched task. This means eating more calories than your burning, and probably more calories than you're eating at the moment. A great deal of your calorie intake should come from high protein as well as low glycemic foods sources. It's important to eat fat as well, but just eat fat that is healthy, so avoid saturated fats.
To get bigger biceps you must get a bigger body. Training other body parts with enough intensity would trigger what is known as "the spillover effect" which adds more mass on your arms. Building big arms is a lot easier if you place equal emphasis on other muscle groups in your body. - 16004
