Best Workout for BIGGER ARMS?

[FreakMonster]

What work out have you guys done that has been proven to put size on your arms?

I usually just lift weights and set them down. Repeat several times a week.

I've read some stuff before on out of the ordinary routines.......like using a 3" diameter bar for curls and after your workout carry a 5gallon bucket filled with sand in each hand as far as you can walk. Ouch.

Yea, both of those will help increase your grip and forearm stregth, the farmers walk is really stressful on the lats and if you have problems with them it should thicken them up as well.

Sounds like an urban legend.

Nothing but barbell curls and close grip bench presses until they got the size I wanted.

Then I did the fun stuff like inclines, concentrations and Scott curls, all the pressdowns, dips, french press.

Certain advice that I have heard just makes sense and I try to stick to it. The "body is one piece" theory is one of these bits of knowledge. The arms should look like hams hung from a thick beam (the shoulders) the larger the beam the larger the hams. Build a large chest, back, and shoulders, and the arms must grow.

To build these muscles, lift heavy weights from the ground, overhead, and set them down. Repeat.

True. My arms started growing after I started deadlifting, benching, military pressing and rowing heavy. I just add in one bicep exercise which is heavy hammer curls.

I believe LL Cool J or 50 cent got their 30" arms from doing the 'ghetto workout' , it's somewhere on this forum so you should spend some time reading that thread.

Benching 425 for reps got my arms to their biggest, but they sadly lacked the cross-striated horse-shoe and shredded bracillais that kickbacks would have given me

When I started to train arms on Pec day, AND Delt day they started growing again - after being stagnate for several years.
My training rotation is Pecs, Back, Delts, Legs once every 9 to 10 days, and Arms and Abs twice in that same time frame.
The bigger the muscle group the longer I need to rest it to avoid overtraining. This is especially true of my best lift - the Deadlift.
