“My arms will not grow no matter how many reps or how much weight I use, they just will not grow!”. Well I can tell you this, if you have said those words out loud or even to yourself, you are not alone! For some reason men are after huge 22’ biceps and could care less about their arms dwarfing their chest, shoulders or other trailing muscle groups. I understand having big arms is what you’re after because you want to wear those cut off t-shirts to the beach and show off your guns for the ladies(HA believe me there are plenty of you out there!). But I can guarantee you that if you do not start focusing on your BODY as a whole rather than just your arms, you could be missing out on the chance to gain even more mass in your arms.

If you go to the gym to solely work out your arms well I commend you because to be honest you are doing more than a lot of people in this world. However, if you want big arms you have to work out your chest, your shoulders, your back, etc. If you think about it, when you are bench pressing you are working out more than just your chest, you are also working out your triceps. A lot of people fail to realize that bigger triceps = bigger looking arms. If you are working out your back and doing pull ups, guess what you are also using your biceps. The point I am trying to make is that if you focus on more than just your arms, you will not only get a proportioned upper and lower body, but at the same time you will be working your arms in the process.

If you’re dead set in your ways, that’s cool. You can find me on the beach with NO shirt while you’re catching some rays with your sleeve-less t-shirt showing your massive arms!
