The Truth About Muscle Building
Written by ama on May 22, 2009If you are a serious lifter at all, I'm sure you want a pair of really strong, big and impressive, sleeve-ripping arms.
From all the workout you do in the gym, don't you deserve to have those bulging guns? I'm about to show you how to get them.
Chances are that even though arms are a significant priority for you, you probably don't have the huge arms you want because you don't yet have a true understanding of how to work out for maximum gains.
Hey, don't worry. It's not your fault.
To get those massive arms quickly, I'm going to share with you 3 basic truths.
1) In comparison to other muscle groups, the biceps and triceps are small
2) From your pulling movements for your back, the biceps get a significant workout
3) From your pressing movements for your chest and shoulders, you work the triceps significantly
In these points is significant information about training your arms properly for maximum gains.
The most important being the following...
You only need a minimal amount of direct stimulation to get significant and maximum gains in both your biceps and triceps.
If you've ever seen (like I have) a large number of guys who go to the gym regularly and don't get a lot of gain with their arms, even though they continue lots of bicep curls and tricep extensions or kick-backs, you're about to learn something really important.
You really don't have to work the arms directly because the biceps and triceps get a large workout from working other muscle groups, and the biceps and triceps are relatively small muscle groups in comparison to other groups.
Your muscles aren't actually growing in the gym. The work in the gym just prepares the muscles for growth, and the growth happens outside of the gym when you are resting and while you eat. Your body creates new muscle tissue while you eat and while you rest.
Given this secret, don't overtrain your muscles. If you really want impressive results with your workout, you absolutely must give your muscles the necessary and sufficient time to recover. Overtraining will actually cause your muscles to get weaker and smaller, so train appropriately.
Since you want to achieve serious growth in your arms, make it a point right now to cease placing a lot of emphasis on working your arms directly. You no longer have to perform sets that work only your biceps or triceps (like concentration curls or pressdowns). The truth around strong, muscular arms is that they are formed mainly as a result of significant and heavy back and chest training.
Don't get me wrong here. I'm not saying to ignore direct arm training completely. Just don't do too much of it, that's all.
