Big Arms, bicep peaks, hanging triceps - everyone wants them. How about these big arms - want to learn how to build big arms quick?
Want Big Arms Like These?
Here's my workout to get big arms fast....
Bicep and tricep workout - why do I train these together?
- Big arm pumps feel great
- Chest and Shoulders together for the moment, so that leaves triceps with another body part... biceps!
- Stretches the muscle sacks (fascia) so they dont restrict growth
- Allows you to really hit these two important muscles HARD
- Focus is entirely on growing big arms fast for the entire workout, better concentration
In this bicep/tricep workout I usually do alternate exercises with biceps and triceps. This means that I do one exercise Biceps then I go do one full exercise Triceps and for the last sets to really kick them into pump mode I superset. Bicep, tricep, bicep, tricep, bicep, tricep making three sets of each with no rest.
Unless you have a good reason you should always start with the heavy basics, in this case Barbell Bicep Curls followed by Tricep Extensions, in both cases below these weights are heavy for me - 3 sets of each.
 
Barbell Bicep Curls and Laying Tricep Extensions - Big Arm Builders
Next for the big arm workout came, machine preacher curls! Machine you ask - that's not hardcore, well no, it's not, but 3 reps into Dumbell Hammer Curls my left forearm was hurting so much that I could not continue, so on to plan B - 3 sets with the stack (all the weight). Risk managment and injury prevention are more important than a heavy duty arm workout
Bicep Preacher Curls (Machine)
Just to make up for the biceps holiday I just had we then jumped over to the bench for close grip bench press for triceps - this will teach me to be a wimp....
Close Grip Bench Press For Big Triceps
Again here you can see my triceps recovering nicely with 2 plate very close grip (too close in fact) benches, this is a great tricep building exercise that you cannot go without as a base strength exercise.
 
Cable Concentration Bicep Curls Superset with Cable Curls
We finished off biceps with some cable concentration curls supersetted with my patented "get the buggers up any way you can cause my arm stings like hell" 15 reps of the concentration curls then 15 additional reps normal cable curl with lots of cheating toward the end as the burn set in - 3 sets here.
The result. Big Bicep pump
The concentration curls are to help build the outer head in your bicep, it is the outerhead that gives the bicep peak when you hit a pose and it is the outer head that gives thinckness to your arm when you are just standing around - for such a small muscle it has a lot of impressing to do so make sure you work it. For a really impressive outer head look at Arnold Swarzenneggers double bicep pose, you'll see what I mean.
Triceps were by that stage begging for similar workout, I thought of taking them down to the S&M parlour but considered for the price I could save money and teach them a lesson myself....
 
Superset Cable French Press and Tricep Pushdowns
15 reps (with cheating) cable French Press immediately followed by 15 reps (with cheating) Tricep Pushdowns for 3 sets of each.
CONANS TIP: Cable exercises do not build muscle or strength, use them to shape and pump - also good for injury recovery.
The results of this big arm workout - they speak for themselves:
  
Big Bicep + Big Tricep = BIG ARMS
Want big arms quick , just follow my example :)
