It’s no secret that when most guys decide to start lifting weights, they do it to try and improve on one of these three muscle groups: their chest, arms and/or abs. Well, Bullz-Eye.com fitness editor Mike Furci has you covered on one of those three muscle groups in his two-part guide: Nine weeks to bigger arms. In part one, Mike discusses how to train your biceps, with a focus on four fundamental principles: variety, concentration, form (not poundage) and work the muscles from all angles. Mike also details the exercises, tempo and sets you should use to help develop your biceps. In part two, Mike writes about triceps and once again gives you the exercises, tempo and sets you need to complete your goal of bigger arms. Now all you need to do is get to work.

Looking to try a new triceps exercise? Do you like performing triceps extensions, overhead or lying, but your elbows hurt when you use any appreciable weight? Are your triceps lagging behind in developement? If you answered yes to any of the above questions, I have the exercise for you. In an article discussing the ten best exercises, the California press is mentioned as being one of the best tricep exercises for size and strength. I’ve been using this particular exercise on and off for many years and can atest for it’s effectiveness. I’ve allways attained great gains from lying triceps extensions, but had to stop performing them due to pain. No matter what angle or bar I would use, as soon as I would start using heavy weight, it allways resulted in pain in the triceps tendon. As a matter of fact, a few times I developed tendonitis, which I’m sure many of you know, can be difficult to get rid of. Once I started to incorporate the California press into my triceps workout I found I got the benefit of lying extensions without the wear on the elbows. If you’re intersted in trying the California press go to bullz-eye.com. |

No other body part exemplifies strength and muscular development like arms. Big muscular arms are in high demand in gyms across this country. Go to any gym and you will always find somebody training arms. The same cannot be said for legs, as is obvious by the lack of leg development in a lot of men who workout. One exercise that I think deserves a place in your program is kneeling dumbbell curls. They are performed just like standing dumbbell curls. Be prepared to use less weight than you do with standing dumbbell curls. Kneeling helps keep the body from assisting the movement. |
