3 Exercises You Must Do To Get Bigger Arms…

by admin on August 30, 2010

Hey Whats Up Guys,

If your are looking to get bigger arms it is a bad habit to get into doing stricly isolation workouts, what I mean by that is if you are currently doing 3 to 5 exercises for your biceps and then 3 to 5 exercises for your triceps you are sadly over training your arm muscles and they will not grow.

You must go back to the basics and use multi-joint compound exercises first in your workouts and then finish strong with a couple isolation exercises, here are a few exercises you must do to get bigger arms fast…

Exercise #1- Pull-ups Or Chin-Ups

Pull-ups are an incredible upper body exercise and most people think of this as a back exercise but in reality the Pull-up uses every muscle from your finger tips to your abs. Due to the fact that you must squeeze the bar tightly this will recruit all the muscles of the arm including the forearms, biceps, and triceps. This type of movement creates a greater amount of muscle fiber recruitment which will in term get you bigger arms :) . I would aim to do 3 to 5 sets of 6-8 reps of pull-ups or Chin-ups first in your workout.

Heres A good video of the results of pullups:

Exercise # 2- Close Grip Bench Press

Now after your Pull-ups the next best arm muscle building exercise is the close grip bench press. Now I am sure you have done the bench press before but if you narrow your grip it puts alot of stress on your triceps, and being that its a multi-joint exercise your are again recruiting a large amount of muscle fiber. Dont over complicate this exercise and just do the bench press with a narrow grip, do 3 to 4 sets of 10 reps of this exercise after your pull-ups.

Heres a good video explaining the Close Grip Bench press:

Exercise #3- Dips

The last exercises in your  get bigger arm workout is the good old body weight dip, This is a basic compound exercise that is another multi-joint compound exercise that recruits a ton of muscle fiber. To do this exercise just find a dip bar in your local gym start with your arms locked out and go just past 90 degrees with your elbows and return to the top. Aim to do 3 sets of 10 of these to finish off your arm workout.

Heres a good video on Dips:

I hope these exercises help you out I know they did for me so good luck in your journey :) .
