How to Build Up Arm Muscles in Just Six Workouts

Expert Author Michael Tottman

Do your Arms nearly tear you shirt every time you move because they are so enormous? Do otherwise sensible women start to get all swoony when you walk past? Do friends and family avoid shaking your hand for fear that your going to crush them? If you answered NO, to any of those three questions then you obviously haven't been working hard enough.

Actually. Let me re-phrase that:

You haven't been working 'smart' enough. Opposite to popular opinion, it isn't performing thousands of Bicep Curls that will build you Arms that others only dream of. This article will explode the myths and share with you the real way to Build Up Arm Muscles.

Focus On Forearms

One of the unsung heroes of overall strength is the forearm. Without strong forearms you grip will be weaker than Mr Burns out of the Simpsons, and before you know it, you will be fatigued and unable to adequately finish your set.

The Forearms play a major part in many exercises, especially around Pulling movements when working Back. Make sure that you invest time to build up forearm strength or they will become the weak link in your mass building chain. Also, a great set of well developed forearms adds the final touch to a great pair of arms, giving that real 'Pro Bodybuilder' look.

Cheats Never Prosper

There is a time and place for SLIGHTLY swinging your back to force that very final Barbell Curl up towards your Chest, but seriously: The way most people swing the weights around, they are training lower back more than any arm muscle. Plus, this is one of the sure fire ways to injure yourself quickly, and should be avoided at all times. Much better instead to ask a friendly Gym user to spot you and slightly help push tht bar towards you at the 'sticking point' of your final few reps.

Employ 21's

When the workout is finished - that's when it's only just beginning. By using this as a finishing exercise, you will notice this is where the real growth happens as you really push the muscle to absolute fatigue. If you are not familiar with what 21's are it is a simple technique but a brutally effective one.

Grab a medium weight Barbell, Dumbbells or Cables and rep from the bottom part of the movement to half way up - 7 times. Then from the top part of the movement to half way down 7 times. Finish with 7 full repetitions and watch those Biceps pump like you've never before experienced!
