Bodybuilding Tips, Workouts to Build Huge Biceps?
To get big biceps you need a diet plan as well as a training plan. I’ll assume you are eating a clean diet. You have to eat quality natural foods 5- 6 meals a day, about every 3 hours, with good ratio of lean protein, carbohydrates and good fat at every meal. Make sure you drink, at minimum, half your bodyweight, in ounces, of water every day.
When you start your lifting routine, you should start with the big lifts. Big lifts such as squats are believed to help your body to create and release additional growth hormone. This will aid your muscles in their growth.
The use of free weights instead of machines is more beneficial to you, simply because you need to control them much more than you would a machine. Remember that your compound exercises will work your arms regardless of what you’re doing.
When you are doing a pulling move, such as rows or pull ups, your biceps are getting work in assisting in those exercises. You will not perform well on your compound exercises if you do your isolated arm exercises first. Use your isolated arm exercises to finish up and polish the arms after you are finished with the compound exercises.
Pre-exhaustion training is where you reverse the aforementioned plan. Tireing out the arm muscles first by doing an Isolated arm movement, will cause the main driver of the compound movement to work harder because the pulling or pushing power of the arms will be reduced. For example: you could do sets of tricep extensions before doing bench presses.
With your biceps in a state of pure exhaustion, more effort will need to be put forth by the lateral muscles. So will it actually work? Guess you’ll have to try it yourself!
After the compound moves it would be a great idea to go on to some arm exercises. This will help you to develop bigger biceps, which is exactly what you were going for in the first place. Exercise the arms from multiple angles, but it’s important to make sure you don’t do too much. Try doing a decline curl, and perhaps a spider curl after that.
You can superset your biceps with similar three position tricep exercises. For instance an overhead triceps extension for the stretched position; a standing triceps pushdown for the middle position and a triceps kick-back for the peak contraction position.
Remember to choose a position for the day and don’t just go at it haphazardly. A few examples of good positions are middle, stretched, peak, and many others. Though you’ll want to do three or maybe even four supersets in a day, it isn’t a good idea to exceed that. Above all, do warmup exercises before you begin so you don’t end up pulling something!
Then there’s the brachialis muscle. This is a muscle that is beneath the biceps and you will need to maintain a decent balance within your arms. To do this, you will need to turn your palms down during the exercise. Note that the brachialis is the main muscle involved in flexing your elbow. If you turn your palms down, the biceps will be out of the picture and you will be able to focus on the brachialis. By making the muscle bigger, the biceps will be pushed up, and they will be more prevalent.
If your nutrition is poor then you’ll never get the muscle growth or muscularity that you are looking for. Work hard, get green and eat well!
