Building Bigger Arms Fast

By Alain Gonzalez

There is little room for doubt that building arms is a primary objective of the majority of bodybuilders and committed weight lifters. Having to increase your shirt size because your sleeves fit too tightly is a problem every man would love to have. What is the first thing a person does if you ask to see their muscles? Exactly, they show off their bulging biceps and triceps. Interestingly, though, building arms might indeed be everyone's ultimate objective, but it is also one of the most difficult goals to reach, aside from achieving sculpted abs. Now, if you are interested in getting bigger arms but just can’t seem to produce results, here are a few tips that will help you break that threshold and experience rapid growth.

Prioritize:

A common error among those attempting to bulk up a certain muscle system is that they have misplaced priorities. You see, when we go into the gym we are at our peak, we are the most rested and have the most amount of energy. Thus, the muscles we work with first will receive the majority of our initiative. So, instead of going in and working your back or chest immediately, try starting with isolation workouts for your biceps or triceps every once in a while. This will allow you to lift a little heavier, perform more repetitions, rest less in between sets, and ultimately put more strain on the muscle.

2. Focusing too much on biceps and not enough on triceps:

People who want to build their arms make this mistake all the time. In my opinion, this is due to the fact that many simply to not have a good understanding of the topic. Why is it important to pay more attention to the triceps than to the biceps? Well, the triceps make up about 65 percent of your arms. What are the implications of that fact? Ignoring the triceps will make it nearly impossible to add inches to your arms.

3. Over Training:

Avoiding over training when working on building arms is a must. There are two primary causes for over training of the triceps and biceps. First, the majority of individuals do not know that back and chest work also engages the arm muscles. Thus, even when we work the chest and back muscles, we are also engaging the arms, and then we proceed to perform targeted arm work the next time we exercise. When you do this, your muscles don't have the rest they need to rebuild and grow. Number two, the common assumption is that if a muscle isn't strong enough, it should be worked more often. In this case, that approach is counterproductive. With that being said, the biceps and triceps are considered smaller muscle groups, one good isolation workout a week along with one good chest workout and one good back session should be more than enough.

The appropriate regimens.

Have you ever noticed that your biceps and/or triceps do not seem to get sore after workouts? If this is the case, it is possible that you have been committing some simple errors that are easily correctable. In terms of working the biceps, it is not uncommon for individuals to use improper form. The majority of individuals undertake simple barbell curl exercises, but apply a larger amount of momentum than bicep engagement when completing the movement. This is a common mistake; here are a few changes you can make to ensure that your biceps are getting the proper workout:

Stand up against a wall with your elbows touching it as you perform the curls.

Perform curls with an Olympic bar with your elbows touching your sides at all times.
Target your attention on completing the curls while the arms are at rest on the thighs. Instead of using "easy curl" bars, use straight bars. Let the weight remain in the lowest position for no less than an entire second prior to beginning a new movement. Raise and lower the weight slowly to put more strain on the muscles.

Should you begin to suspect that the triceps muscles are not being worked hard enough because you never experience soreness, you may want to:

Raise the amount of weight used while maintaining your tally of reps. Perform an additional set.
Perform extra reps.

Or

decrease the rest time between your sets.

Unfortunately there are a lot of commonly made mistakes when building arms that reduce the muscle building potential. On the other hand, there are simple corrections to all of these bad habits. No matter if you have been committing one or several of these errors, working to correct them will help you achieve larger, stronger arms as well as the body shape for which you have longed.
