One of the most common questions I field is “how do I pack on size to my guns?”  Everyone wants guns blazing year round and the routine within will help you accomplish this ASAP.  My clients have experienced drastic changes in short periods of time with routines similar to the one within this article.  Of course I customize each program to fit the needs of individual clients but this routine represents the best of the best. 

Embrace New Techniques for Rapid Growth! 

I see many mistakes made in the gym, but perhaps the most common is the use of repetitive motions especially when it comes to arm training.  Yes there is more to training the arms than rope push downs and barbell curls.  You must address all cross sections of the arm to maximize your potential.  This routine will challenge you by putting you into some unfamiliar movements, but remember the body responds best to training when it is shocked by a new stimulus. 

We will skip over the anatomy lesson after all you are interested in results and not a lecture.  Pay close attention to the tips provided and ensure that you use both proper form and rep timing.  Accelerate weights during the lifting phase of every exercise, but be sure to control your rep speed during the negative portion of each rep to inflict the maximal amount of damage to your muscles.  The repair process is your opportunity to grow big time if you play your recovery cards right. 

Train Heavy for Rock Hard Muscle

You see the forgotten key to improving arm size and definition is not only related to exercise selection, but also a specific set and rep scheme. Toss out old routines as they are just that- old, your body has acclimated to them and will not likely respond.  Remember training for size is not a rep counting game- you must use adequate loading to stimulate the fast twitch fibers which have the greatest potential for growth.  This can only be accomplished with low to medium rep brackets. 

Each set will feature a rep bracket- for example 6-8, this means that  if you get 6 or 7 reps stay at the same weight, but if you reach 8 increase by 5 pounds for the next set.  This progressive overload week to week is a vital growth stimulator.  A stronger muscle is a better defined and BIGGER Muscle.  Squeeze contractions and do not sell your self short by cheating when it comes to form.

 “I am more likely to forget my head (and it is attached) than my MR and Muscle Synthesis- I will never workout without them. “ Mike Foster

Text Box: B1. Keep your palms facing front and think of bringing your thumbs to touch your shoulders as you move to the top of the movement.  Squeeze the contraction on top and be full to reach full extension on the bottom with the arm being completely straight
 

 

 


 

Text Box: B2. Sit in an up right position and make sure your elbow is straight at the top of the movement.  Touch the db behind your shoulder to ensure that you experience a full stretch of the tricep at the bottom of the exercise.
 

 

 

 

    

Text Box: C2. Minimize momentum and make sure to use a controlled descent on every rep. touch the top of the DB on the front of your shoulder and make sure your arm is straight on the bottom.  
 

 

 

 Recovery- A Crucial Part of the Success Equation.

 Here is where amino loading with 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis comes into play- every time you train you damage muscles so that they will re grow stronger and larger by creating small micro tears in the muscles.  Amino loading rapidly provides the raw materials needed to accelerate the repair process. Think of the amino acids racing through the blood stream to fill these cracks with raw material which can double the rate of growth and repair! (1)  The benefits do not stop there, in addition to providing the ultimate repair materials Amino Loading also shifts the hormonal system into a muscle growth status by naturally manipulating anabolic hormones. 

Text Box: My Arms have Exploded-
I put on 2 inches on my arms in 5 weeks and that still does not account for how much better my arms look.   Scott Mendelson showed me that there is so much more to arm training.  My forearms are huge and I have the grip strength of a bear”
