How To Build Big Arms - In 5 Simple Steps

Any guy who’s steps foot into a gym does so with the intention of owning a bigger and stronger set of arms. Unfortunately, most guys don’t take the proper steps in their workout routine thus their chances of building huge “guns” are very slim.



You have to realize that your arm muscles (biceps, triceps and forearms) are very small compared to your chest, back and legs. Far too many trainees make the mistake of training arms (especially biceps) far too often and with too many sets.



Arm training should not be complicated and if you follow these 5 simple steps you’ll have an amazing pair of “guns” not too long from today.



Big Arms Step #1 Focus On Compound Movements



To build the biceps, triceps and forearm muscles, nothing comes close to compound movements with free weights. Free weights allow for the greatest range of motion and mirror your muscles natural movement.



No machine can ever give you the same stimulation as good old dumbbells and barbells as machines restrict your movement to a linear plane of motion. If you really like training with machines or cables then I recommend you finish off your workout on a machine, but never begin your workouts on one.



Big Arms Step #2 Keep Your Arm Workouts Short



This counts not only for the arms but for every other bodypart as well. To develop truly impressive biceps and triceps I recommend you train them on their own day instead of at the end of your chest and/or back workouts.



This will let you put 100% focus and intensity into doing arms thus resulting in better and faster gains. Remember that the biceps and triceps are very small muscles and there’s absolutely no reason to spend 2 hours at the gym working them.



Your arm workouts should last no longer than 1 hour. This is more than enough time as you’ll have 20 minutes for biceps, 20 minutes for triceps and 20 minutes for forearms. Unless your forearms tend to grow and respond well from biceps training, then you can spend a half hour on biceps and triceps each and skip forearms.



Remember that the law of diminishing returns applies especially well to weight training. Your arms will get plenty of indirect work from back and chest training so you don’t need to do too much for the biceps and triceps.



Big Arms Step #3 Focus On Quality



Quality means performing each and every single set and repetition with 100% focus and intensity. If you’re not putting every ounce of energy into each set then you your arms simply won’t grow as fast and big as you’d like them to. I see far too many trainees at the gym using too much weight and momentum and not focusing on making the biceps and triceps do the work.



Focus on making the muscle do the work and focus on getting an intense contraction at the end of each repetition. Squeeze your biceps hard for a second before lowering the weights on any curling movement and lock out your elbows at the top for any triceps movement.



Big Arms Step #4 Keep Your Rest Periods Short



Your rest period in-between sets should take no longer than 2 minutes or 120 seconds. 2 minutes is just long enough to let most of the lactic acid that accumulates during an intense set flush out of your muscles but not long enough so that you lose your pump and your muscles get cold.



Research has shown that taking shorter rest periods in between sets increases your body’s growth hormone production which will directly lead to more muscle mass. Research also indicates that 2 minutes is an optimal time for hypertrophy or muscle growth and that anything less is better for developing muscle endurance and anything more than 3 minutes is best for developing muscle power.



Big Arms Step #5 Train Heavy



Too many guys completely misunderstand the concept of training heavy especially while working the arms. Never choose quantity over quality in your arm workouts but rather quality and quantity. Perform 8 to 12 repetitions for biceps and triceps on every set and focus on reaching failure on at least one set for each exercise.



If you’re able to do more than 12 repetitions on any arm exercise than you are not using enough weight to stimulate the type 2b muscle fibers which are mainly responsible for muscle growth. Performing less than 6 repetitions will not recruit many of those same type 2b muscle fibers thus leading to less muscle growth.



Follow these 5 simple steps in your arm workouts and you’re guaranteed to have bigger and stronger guns in no time at all.

My Review

I spent some time online recently purchasing and reading the newest muscle building programs on the web. Some of the stuff I found was pretty awful, I won’t name any names but you know who you are.

Not to sound bashful, but you get what you pay for and those $20 ebooks on weight gain are total garbage.

However, I did find a program that I can confidently recommend to anyone looking to gain muscle mass. After purchasing other muscle building ebooks, I was a little skeptical, but after going through all of the materials in the Massive Muscle Building program, I have to say that I was amazed at how in-depth this program is.

The author, Adi Crnalic, is a certified personal trainer and a competitive natural bodybuilder. Adi is very knowledgeable about what it takes to build muscle and inside the program, he goes through everything you need to know in order to put on lean muscle mass effectively.

Adi explains everything in easy to read language that anyone can understand. Because there’s nothing worse than e-books filled with scientific jargon so complex that your brain freezes trying to understand the complex and mind-numbing terms.

With the Massive Muscle Building System, I was completely engaged as I could actually understand all the points Adi was making. He starts at the beginning and lays it all out in a neat and organized manner.

Now, the other eBooks that I purchased were in the $20-$30 price range, and they were simply one standalone eBook. This is not the case with this program. The Massive Muscle Building program is a complete physique transformation system.

The value of this course is absolutely amazing. Adi covers every aspect of muscle mass gain including muscle building supplements, recovery techniques, injury prevention and pretty much everything that you’ve ever wanted to know about building muscle mass without steroids.

There is a 16 week advanced mass gain routine and a 52 week beginner and intermediate workout plan. Adi also includes eight muscle building meal plans tailored to specific caloric intake for different body types, along with a food substitution charts.

Adi makes a strong point in the course that a well planned out diet is critical when it comes to building muscle, and he gives you custom designed meal plans that come with instructions on how to prepare healthy muscle building meals.

Once your diet is in order you can hit the gym. If you have been training for a length of time, Adi recommends taking a full week off so that you can let your body recover before starting on the workouts in the program. While this is not mandatory, it’s a good idea as you can spend the time going over the materials provided in the course.

Taking a few days off also gives you a chance to mentally prepare for the upcoming workouts within the program.

Adi also provides both a beginner/intermediate workout plan and an advanced workout plan to suite both complete beginners and more advanced gym goers.

There is far too much in the Massive Muscle Building program to explain it all in detail in this review but rest assured that Adi leaves nothing out.

 Some of the concepts that Adi explains in the massive muscle building eBook are the 3 different body types, metabolism, how to get into the proper mindset to build muscle, muscle building hormones, muscle building myths, and muscle growth rules, just to name a few.

Understanding and implementing everything he covers is very important to achieving optimal results, as he gets you into the mindset, and gives you the tools you need to build muscle mass and strength.

All things considered, I would have to say that The Massive Muscle Building System is one of the best muscle building programs available online because it WORKS like crazy!

The only thing I was not thrilled about was that it is only available as a digital download.

On one hand I did get access to the program immediately, but it would be nice if in the future they offer a physical product shipped to your doorstep as well. What I did was print the whole program up on my printer at home and then I put it in a three ring binder.

That actually worked out really well for me because I travel a lot and I don’t have access to my computer every day. Also, because the entire program is in digital format, you are saving yourself hundreds of dollars. If this were a physical product, I couldn’t even imagine how much it would cost.

Like I mentioned earlier, I was a little skeptical because I got burned in the past, but I decided to take a chance and I’m glad that I invested in this course. As far as I know, this is the only muscle building program on the internet that comes with a 365 day money back guarantee.

Adi also gives you 3 months of private email coaching, and even throws in some unadvertised bonus manuals that compliment the course nicely, which I really loved.

If you are still undecided, visit Adi’s website and check out what other people have to say about the program. I don’t make any money from the sale of this course, I just hate to see people getting ripped of from buying crap on the internet, so I wanted to post my two cents about this program.

Anyways, go check it out at: http://billtrick1.massivemb.hop.clickbank.net/and see what this program has to offer. If you do purchase it, you will learn a ton about the muscle gaining process and you’ll be a different person after reading and implementing everything that Adi covers inside the program.

From what I’ve heard, the price of the program will be going up soon, so if you are interested and you’re serious about building a muscular physique, I’d suggest you get it before the price increases.

If you’re not ready to commit and spend money on the program just yet, you can sign up for Adi’s free muscle building e-mail newsletter. He also gives you a free 30 page report that shows you how to avoid making the most common and destructive muscle building mistakes.
