2 quick and simple Tricks For Adding Mass to Your Arms

There are 2 tricks for adding mass to your arms, if you want to have large muscular arms you must use them(the 2 tricks) both, if you don't you are going to continue being where you are now, and I presume that you prefer that to change considering that you're here.

Before I tell you anything I really want you to remember to focus on the complete package, what do I mean by that? What i'm saying is that if you would like a muscle to grow (your chest for example) you will want to focus on the muscle opposite to it (your back, if your doing chest), failure to do so will show the way to absence of growth in the best case scenario and muscle aches that will cost you a couple of months in the worst case scenario.

We want to keep away from muscle imbalances, I will go into more detail in the next section.

Trick 1: The Upper Arm

The arms are composed of two main muscles, the biceps and triceps.

If you need larger biceps it is important to also focus on the triceps as well, you don't want your arms to start aching on a regular basis because you exclusively exercised your biceps and your triceps are limp, underdeveloped.

Biceps Training

You probably understand all of the basics, the biceps are grown with dumbbell curls and other related exercises, it doesn't take a pro to find out what to do here.

There are numerous exercises that focus on different angles of the bicep but if you're a novice it is best to simply do basic dumbbell curls and begin doing different angles when you are a few years down the road.

Triceps Training

If you would like to start adding mass on your arms you should start giving as much attention to your triceps as your biceps, you can't play favorites here, while you take a shower you won't wash the lower portion of your body and just pour a bit of water on the upper part, you ought to give your triceps as much love as you give to your biceps.

Dips and tricep extensions are great exercises, there's others although its good toalways keep things straightforward, this muscle is sometimes tough to build up and its good to isolate it if perhaps you're having difficulties, you tend to use them when doing a bench press and push-ups too so keep those workouts apart from each other, don't get to doing push ups immediately after doing tricep extensions.

Trick 2: The Lower arm

The forearms are a vulnerable portion of your body for the reason that they are so small in contrast to your upper arms, you tend to already use your wrists whenever you are doing curls so wrist training should preferably be ignored till you have developed your arms to a certain degree.

You should develop your grip strength instead of your wrist itself, so focus on your grip, you can do this when you start out.

Grip Training

You need to focus on your grip strength mainly because this will make it easy for you to curl heavier weights and further adding mass to your arms, some of the greatest sportsmen on this planet such as Marvin Eder who could bench press 515 pounds, did grip training so you don't want to underestimate this.

You might want to get some hand grippers, they are a great means to develop grip strength.

Forearm Extensor Training

Just like with the upper arms you need to also focus on your whole forearms and not merely one muscle group.

This part of the forearm is usually overlooked and ends up with people getting elbow tendonitis or tennis elbow, this will allow you to prevent getting muscle imbalances.

You can do exercises for this muscle by wrapping a rubber band over the fingertips and over your thumb and extending your fingers against the resistance of the rubber band (with thanks to Lee Hayward for the exercise idea).
