The Key to Building Bigger Arms

By Michael Davies of Build Massive Muscle Now

Building an impressive set of arms is a dream of most muscle builders out there. Hours are spent in the gym doing curl after curl trying to develop those arms that will get the stares.

The problem that most people don't realize, especially those who are just beginning is that training your biceps will not give you bigger arms. Don't get me wrong your arms will get a bit bigger but not even close to what they could be.

The main reason for this is that if you have ever looked at a muscle diagram of the body you would notice that your arms are made up of 2 main muscles your biceps which sit on top of your arm and your triceps which lay on the bottom portion of the arm.

Your triceps which have 3 different heads make up about 2/3 of your arms muscle mass. In order to build massive arms that really stand out you must spend time on building up your triceps as well as your biceps.

Here are a few exercises that will help to build your triceps and ultimately a bigger more muscular pair of arms.

Scull-Crushers

Lay flat on a bench. Lift the bar off the rack with a narrower than shoulder width grip. Get into position as if you were going to be bench pressing. Now instead of lowering your entire arm, lower just the forearm part until the bar is right above your head. Then use your triceps to push the bar back to the starting position.

Tricep Pulldowns

This exercise will require a cable station. Stand in front of the cable station. With your elbows as close to your side as possible grab the bar so that your hands are about 10-12 inches apart. At the starting position your arms should form a 90 degree angle. Now using only your lower arms pull the weight down until your arms are straight, then using only your lower arms slowly bring the weight back to the starting position.

Close-Grip Bench Press

Lay down on a flat bench. Grab hold of a barbell about 8 - 12 inches apart. Keeping your elbows as close to your sides as possible, lower the bar until it is touches your chest. Push the weight back up to the starting position, really concentrate on using your triceps to push.
