building big arms

[dirtyvest]

I still say your first reply is the most important of the 2 tho LOL

A lot of it is down to genetic limitations.

Some can grow great arms, others not so much.

I would agree totally, especially with regards to bicep peaks. You can either build them or you can't

 

[TREBOR]

If you have good genetics for building arms they will grow from pretty much whatever approach you choose,eg those lads who don't do any direct arm work yet still have big arms.

For me weighted dips followed by overhead extension for tris

Bis i avoid barbell work and heavy low rep stuff because it kills my writs and elbows,pretty much choose exercises that are strict and produce the most pain in a good way and pump.

Low incline curls keeping head on the bench and dumbell preachers,reps 8-12 slow negs.

Hammers or pinwheel curls with fat gripz for the brachialis

Biceps- pull ups, chins, rows.


Triceps- bench press, military press, dips.

 

[chilisi]

Train triceps. Bicep boys forget this.

 

[Jams]

Negative and forced reps are what really build muscle for me 

 

[Cu3ed]

Train triceps. Bicep boys forget this.

This, biceps are quite small musclesoverall, appearance of large arms all comes from the Tri's

As per Pip....all down to genetics

Can count on one hand the amount of times I've trained biceps directly and gym folk are forever touching/asking about them.Triceps pah!! another story all together.
