4 Uncommon Tips To Get BIGGER Biceps<\/strong>
\nBy Ben Pakulski\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

1) LESS VOLUME!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Small muscles require less volume, and recover faster.\u00a0Basic logic says,\u00a0 a smaller muscle has less overall total volume\u00a0of muscle fibres. It takes\u00a0 LESS overall stimulus to fatigue\u00a0these muscles and less overall training\u00a0volume to exhaust\u00a0glycogen stores (stored muscle energy).<\/p>\n

2) HEAVY WEIGHTS (WITH PERFECT FORM)\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Heavy weights are going to fatigue a greater overall percentage\u00a0of muscle\u00a0fibres in a shorter amount of time (aka less sets).\u00a0Heavy weights also have\u00a0the added benefit of stimulating\u00a0\"high threshold motor units\". These are the\u00a0muscle fibres\u00a0that require a lot more stimulus to grow and respond, but also the fibres that are more likely to be responsible for muscle\u00a0hypertrophy or GROWTH!<\/p>\n

3) BICEPS RECEIVE A LOT OF STIMULUS ON A REGULAR BASIS<\/strong><\/p>\n

biceps receive a lot of stimulus on a regular basis.\u00a0For most people, this tends to\u00a0occur in the middle of the\u00a0range of motion where the muscles are strongest. In order to get the biceps to grow and respond, it is\u00a0necessary to subject them to\u00a0 a different type of stimulus.\u00a0One of the best ways to improve bicep development is to\u00a0subject them\u00a0to more tension and continuous tension at the extremes of the range of motion (a.k.a, when a muscle is fully lengthened or fully shortened --where\u00a0muscles are weakest). This will allow for greater time under tension\u00a0as well as targeting different points of the strength curve\u00a0to force the nervous system to adapt and stimulate new muscle growth.<\/p>\n

4) YOU MUST ENGAGE THE TARGET MUSCLE FIRST IN ANY MOVEMENT<\/strong>
\nThe FIRST muscle to engage in ANY movement must be the muscle you are trying to target. If you are working your biceps, to most effectively stimulate the bicep, it must be the muscle to\u00a0initiate the movement. As mentioned, muscles are weakest at those extremes and that makes it LEAST likely to contract. This is where your conscious intent and control is vital! The best way\u00a0to ensure this is happening is to CONTRACT its antagonist muscle. This will ensure a fully lengthened\u00a0working muscle and make it much more likely that it will initiate the movement (provided you\u2019re using\u00a0proper control).<\/p>\n

e.g. when working your bicep, to fully stretch your bicep at the bottom of the range, it is necessary to\u00a0contract your triceps before initiating the movement of contracting your bicep again.The opposite is true\u00a0when training triceps. Contract your biceps at the top of the range when a tricep is fully stretched(forebicep\u00a0touches biceps).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
