Building Arm MuscleWelcome to the big guns, the secret to building bigger biceps, toning triceps, and firming forearms.Building arm muscle and firming up the “guns” is no different then any other body part. If you supply intense stimulation and maximum fibre contraction you achieve firmer, larger, more toned muscle. In this article I’m going to talk about some specific exercises you can do to really target those areas of the biceps, triceps and forearm.
I’ve discussed training the biceps without weights all ready while introducing
isometrics.
For the best results of course you should train train with me 1-to-1 through online personal training. . I’ll custom design a personalised program and guide you using real video demonstration so you can see each and every technique in crystal clear detail. To top it off I'll also design a fully customised diet to ensure you ge the biggest gains in the quickest time. 1. Find yourself a power rack. It’s a safety device available in most gyms. It allows you to place a barbell in a specific range of motion. Primarily used to make sure weights don’t crash down on you, we are going to adapt it for our biceps. 2. Place the bar at a level where when sitting on a bench with your back straight your arms come to a 45 degree angle in front of you to reach the bar.. Keep the elbows in line with the body. Essentially you want to place your arms two inches or so below the top point of your bicep curl. Place the stops of the power rack just below this point. 3. Rack a load of weight on the bar. I mean a lot of weight. Tense the bicep muscle and pull upwards. You only need to lift the weight up an inch or so. Isometrically contract the bicep as hard as possible. 4. Hold this position for 7-12 seconds. If you can hold it longer than that add, more weight. If you can’t hold it to 7 take off some weight. 5. Record that number and lift, at minimum, 10% more the next week. 6. Buy new shirts. ;-) This will probably be the most intense exercise you have ever performed for your biceps. Congratulations. Now you are building arm muscle faster and more efficiently than any other training program available. In the next article I’ll talk about building arm muscle in regard to the triceps.

The bicep is the muscle located on the front of the arm. As it's name suggests it is comprised of two parts, a large muscle belly with two tendons branching off. This is of interest because one of these tendons branches off and flows into the forearm and is called the radial-brachialus. You can see this if you make a really hard fist, your forearms will tense and then your biceps.
