How To Get Bigger Arms

Having big “guns” as some guys like to call them, really complete the image of a masculine and dominant male physique. There’s nothing like having bulging and ripping arms straining your shirt sleeves a bit. Here are some tips on how to get bigger arms.

Like any muscle group, if you want to get bigger arms, you’ll need to put them under stress. In other words, you have to work them hard! The human body is great at adapting in that it will strengthen your muscles in order to accommodate the increased level of stress placed upon it.

The arms are made up of two main muscle groups. The biceps and the triceps. The biceps are the big muscles on the front of your arm that contracts when you pull things. It’s the muscle that contains the “bulge” that a lot of guys aim to get. The triceps are the muscles that are directly behind your biceps and help you extend your arm and push things. Contrary to popular belief, the triceps are actually the muscles that give your arms that bulky look.

When working out your arms, you need to concentrate on getting the most out of the workout movement.

For biceps curls, make sure you only use your biceps when trying to curl a weight. Do not swing your arms in an attempt to make the workout easier. Remember, we’re trying to put as much stress as we can on your muscles so they can grow. And as you lower the weight after the curl, don’t just drop it and let gravity take over. Slowly lower the weight as to put even more stress on your biceps.

Triceps should be focused the same way as well. Whether you’re doing bench presses or triceps extensions, you need to concentrate on putting the most amount of stress you can on your triceps.

You should only focus on specifically working out your arms one day per week since you’ll be using your arms throughout other workouts.

Here are a few exercises for both triceps and biceps that you can do to help you to get bigger arms:

Triceps Workouts

*French Press supine on flat bench.
*Supine triceps curl and press.
*Reverse-wide-grip bench press.

Once you’ve exhausted your arms, be sure to get plenty of rest and restrict your diet to a good mix of healthy carbs, plenty of protein, and “good” fat.
