Lose Chest Fat Now!

To get big biceps you need a diet plan as well as a training plan. Lets assume your diet is in place. Your eating quality natural foods 5- 6 meals a day, about every 3 hours, with good ratio of lean protein, carbohydrates and good fat at every meal. And you’re drinking at least half your body weight, in ounces, of water every day.

Your weight lifting routine should consist of doing your big compound lifts first. Exercises like, squats, deadlifts and clean and jerks will stimulate growth hormone production, to better cause muscle growthh.

I think using free weights over machines is better, because they will require more control from stabilizing muscles. Understand also, that when you do your compound exercises your arms will get worked no matter what.

When your doing a pulling move, such as rows or pull ups, your biceps are getting work in assisting in those exercises. If you were to do your isolated arm exercises first, then you would not perform very well doing those exercises. Use your isolated arm exercises to finish up and polish the arms after you’re finished with the compound exercises.

Pre-exhaustion training is where you reverse the aforementioned plan. Tireing out the arm muscles first by doing an Isolated arm movement, will cause the main driver of the compound movement to work harder because the pulling or pushing power of the arms will be reduced. For example: you could do sets of tricep extensions before doing bench presses. the idea her is that the main driver of the compound mvement will have to work harder if it’s supporting muscles in the arms are pre-exhausted. This sounds great in theory, as to whether it really gets the job done is up for debate Give it a try and see what you think.

Okay, you’ve got your main compound exercises done and it’s time to move on to your arms to get big biceps. Use a lot of different angles to work your arms without overdoing it. I like to do a standing curl to hit the middle portion of the biceps; a decline curl (about 10 – 20 degrees off vertical) for my biceps to get it in the stretched position; and a concentration or spider curl to really hit the peak contraction point. Do these all palms up.

Superset your biceps with three position triceps exercises. For example: a standing triceps pushdown for the middle position, a triceps kick-back for the peak contraction position and an overhead triceps extension for the stretched position.

Choose what position you wish to work that day; middle , stretched or peak contraction and just do 3 to 4 supersets of that position that day. Rotate the positions each time you do your arm workout. You can do reverse curls for a few sets to warm up.

With your hands in the palms down position, I would add in reverse curls to both keep your arm musculature balanced and to target the brachialis muscle under the biceps. The brachialis works when your hands are palms up or palms down, it is the workhorse for flexing the elbow. When you turn your palms down you kick the biceps out of the equation and concentrate on the brachialis. Enlarging the brachialis will cause it to push up the biceps from underneath, making the biceps stand out more.

I can’t emphasize enough the importance of good nutrition, without it, you may get stronger, but, you’ll never get the lean muscularity you’re after.

Work hard, get green and eat well!
