6 Simple Exercises to Get Bigger Arms In No Time

guys look if we’re not self-conscious about our abs or lack thereof then it’s our puny arms that have us looking in the mirror and sighing and disappointment okay maybe I’m being a little dramatic but seriously if you’re looking to beef up your arms fast then try these exercises out let’s start with the triceps these are the muscles that run along the back of your arm from your shoulder to your elbow a lot of people forget about them and that be a big mistake you see your arms aren’t just about the biceps you know the one you flex for someone when they want to feel your arm muscles in fact your biceps only make up one third of your upper arms the rest is all tricep so the rule of thumb is if you want really big arms you need to work on your triceps too and here are the exercises that will help you do it incline dumbbell skull Crusher’s lie down on an inclined bench with a dumbbell in each hand carefully bring your arms up overhead and keep your hands shoulder-width apart now slowly bend your elbows to bring the dumbbells toward your temples your upper arms shouldn’t move only your forearms straighten your arms back out and that’s one rep you need three sets of twelve to fifteen each it might seem like a lot but the triceps are one of those muscle groups that are hard to work on so you need more reps to start to feel it think of the first two sets as a sort of warm-up for your muscles just don’t overdo it with huge weights from the get-go building up your arms takes time so be patient and here’s a cool tip for you try to do this exercise at different angles and greps this will help you target different parts of your triceps there are three of them hence the whole try thing so that they get massive in no time reverse grip push-ups here’s a fun spin on traditional push-ups I’m sure you know how to do a push-up but here’s a reminder get on the floor with your arms straight hands in line with your shoulders and your feet straight back behind you pull your core in your stomach shouldn’t be hanging down now for the reverse style turn your hands in the opposite direction so that they’re fronting more toward your toes yeah it takes flexibility and strength so this one is in for beginners and if you can’t do it just work your way up from regular push-ups you’ll get there in no time don’t worry anyway this style will make the outside part of your triceps really work try to do four sets of 12 to 15 reps or work your way up to that goal as for the last set do as many reps as you can with the same weights on your back again if you’re new to the whole fitness game then work your way up to the weighted version – this one’s intense but it helps grow your triceps dramatically cable tricep pushdowns here’s probably one of the most classic and standard moves to build up your triceps grab the cable with your hands close together and your palms facing down keep your elbows tucked at your sides and bent at a 90 degree angle now straighten your elbows to bring the cable downward then slowly return to the initial position I’d recommend doing 3 sets of 15 reps for this one there are also different styles you can do with the cable machine like facing away from it and doing similar move like you did in the dumbbell Skullcrusher exercise just pick a style that you like best or do as many different times as you want in order to hit all the parts of the triceps ok let’s move on to those biceps if you want really big bulky biceps you’ll need to use the progressive overload method it basically means adding one more weight and intensity to your exercises with each set that you do starting with preacher curls sit down on a preacher bench and place your upper arms on the support pack make sure your armpits are right up on that pad and clean it afterwards you can grab an EZ curl bar dumbbells or a barbell whatever you choose pull it up toward your chin hold it there for a second and then slowly straighten your arms and bring it back down don’t straighten your elbows completely or you risk hurting they should stay slightly bent and parallel to each other don’t let them point outward try to do four sets of 12 to 15 reps to really blast those biceps barbell curl stand up straight with your feet shoulder-width apart head up shoulders back elbows tucked into your sides and your chest out now bring the barbell up to your chin by bending your elbows and engaging your biceps a great thing about barbell curls is that you can put your whole body into the last few reps when your arms are getting kinda tired you know it’s best to do 4 sets of 10 to 12 reps and don’t forget about that progressive overload thing add more weight to the bar with each set zot man curls for your final bicep exercise you’ll need to grab some dumbbells and hold one in each hand with your arms down at your sides and your palms facing your body keeping your elbows locked at your sides curl the weights up from your chin while turning your palms toward your face from there you’ll do a 180 with your hands so that your palms then face outward and lower the dumbbells back down to the starting position all this turning might sound complicated but it’s what targets both the inner and outer parts of your biceps making them big and bulky all around you need four sets of ten to twelve reps now before you run to the nearest gym and over train yourself there are some important things for you to know all this stuff about big arms and muscles isn’t just connected to lifting weights one of the essential things here is your diet yeah yeah it sounds so cliche but hear me out you need to take in more calories than your body requires right now with your current weight and the best way to do that is and guess is protein hey athletes don’t chug this stuff down for nothing more specifically you need a lean protein which can be found in eggs nuts fish chicken beef pork and low-fat dairy products name of yep if you want to gain inches around your arms try to consume one gram of protein per pound of your bodyweight you also shouldn’t underestimate the importance of staying hydrated and well rested water and sleep should be your best friends on your road to huge arms I know it sounds kind of random but it makes sense when you think about since you’ll be losing hydration through sweat you need to replace it by drinking at least six to eight glasses of water every day as for asleep I am sure you know the drill seven to eight hours each night but it’s especially important for people who work out because your muscles need time to chill and repair the micro tears they get from exercise it’s okay these tears are totally normal and that’s what builds a muscle in the first place so that’s it keep me updated on whether or not these tips work for you and if you know any other exercises that build big muscular arms then sound off in the comments down below and don’t forget to give this video a like share with your
