Anonymous · 16-04-2004, 03:33 PM

mark,

yeah i do do em wide grip,ill try em with a close grip and let you no how i get on.

vinger my mate gets unlucky like that,i feel sorry for him

not

what do u do for work?,we come to the conclusion that if u use your arms all day at work,then they struggle to put on big size.

does anyone else think like this?

Id agree with u steve, but that doesnt apply to me mate.

Im sat on my arse all day eating looking at a computer screen.

The only time i noticed gains on my biceps was as a younger lad doing press ups.

The ****ers will grow though wether they like it or not!! :twisted:

A common conclusion that we came to in the gym after a discussion about arms is everyone thinks there arms are smaller than they - must be something to do with the angle.

One of my training partners said that he thought I had quite big arms where as i think they are really skinny!

I also work with computers all day and struggle putting on size!

For triceps: I use weighted parallel bar dips, handstand pushups, pullover and press with an EZ curl bar, and regular overhead barbell presses.

For biceps: Rows, barbell curls, and weighted chins.

Nothing fancy, and no magic routines. Just simple exercises and hard work. I wouldn't do too many exercises in one workout. The arms are small muscles. Too much work and you'll go nowhere fast......

I would just stick to presses and if you bench press, try working different grip widths into your bench routine. If you are using rows, heavy rows at that, for your back routine, then all you need to add is curls and you're good to go....keep it simple.

Cheers,
JP

Nah no press ups any more mate.

When i used to do them i was only doing olympic lifts, no bodybuilding.

After an arm workout i struggle washing my hair, i couldnt possibly do any press ups.
