HELP..NEED an arm/bicep workout

Fat2Ripped

New member
Hey bros can anyone help me out and give me a good bicep program for increasing size?..it seems like I NEVER add any size to my biceps and its really getting to me...so if someone could give me an effective workout for arms/biceps I would really appreciate it...

I am on 1g of Test Enanthate a week with 75mg Anadrol ED...
 
I would like to hear some workouts as well, for some reason I have the same problem. I have the hardest time adding size to my bi's.
 
Wrong board but I will post it anyways..All the Props to the one and only RADAR... ;)

Heres for big arms:
Many times I have heard that narrow or wide grip does not affect inner or outer biceps development. I dare say: yes it does. And many times I was told that one should not make isolating movements to increase arms mass. Here I partially agree: to increase overall mass. But what to do if you need to put a size only on your, let's say, lower biceps? Yes, you have to isolate it. I have experimented with many exercises and found nothing better than preacher (scott) curls for lower biceps.
Going further. You need to make your biceps to pop up higher in biceps poses. What to do? Make countless sets of standing barbell curls? Try that and you will get big formless peace of meat between your elbow and shoulder. In this case (I mean the situation called "peak needed") concentration curls are the best.
If your arms look thinner than you would like them to look, I think that to thicken your inner biceps you should make barbell curls with a grip as wide as you can. Curl your arms using middle weight, about 8-12 reps.
And doubtless, if you want to achieve significant results you have to train like an animal

Overall mass:
1. Standing barbell curls 5 x 8
2. Preacher curls 4 x 8
3. Seated dumbbell curls 3 x 8

Lower biceps:
1. Preacher dumbbell curls 4 x 8
2. Preacher barbell curls 4 x 8
3. Standing barbell curls - 3 x 8

Upper biceps:
1. Seated supinated dumbbell curls 4 x 10
2. Vertical preacher curls - 3 x 12
3. Concentration curls - 3 x 12

Inner biceps:
1. Wide grip barbell curls - 4 x 8
2. Inclined bench seated dumbbell curls 4 x 8
3. Dumbbell curls (hold dumbbells as if you hold a barbell with so wide grip as you can) - 3 x 12

Outer biceps:
1. Very narrow grip barbell curls (up to 5 inch) (if you feel pain in your wrists using standard bar, use EZ bar) - 4 x 10
2. Very narrow grip preacher curls - 4 x 10
3. Concentration curls - 3 x 12



LYING BARBELL EXTENSIONS
I begin my triceps workout with lying barbell extensions using cambered bar. It's a powerful movement and one of the best mass building exercises. First set is warming-up set for 20 reps.
Then I load up a bar to make 6-7 strict movements finishing with 2-3 forced reps. I do 3 sets of this exercise. It's important to use a full range of motion stretching triceps at the bottom and squeezing it at the top.

CABLE PUSHDOWNS
The next exercise is cable pushdowns. It's good flushing movement. I use medium-length straight bar. Keeping a body as straight up and down as possible, tuck the elbows in and concentrate on the triceps. Each rep is strictly controlled and concentrated. At the bottom position squeeze the triceps for a second or two. Usually I do 3 sets for 12-15 reps.

DIPS
After doing cable pushdowns I continue with dips. This exercise blasts the triceps and works every part of the muscle. Use a little wider than shoulder width grip and hang a plate between your legs for some added resistance if you can do more than 15 full reps.
Keep a body from leaning too far forward (if you lean too far forward it turns into more of chest exercise). Do not forget to squeeze your triceps at the top. Do 3 sets for 12-15 reps.

SEATED ONE-ARM DUMBBELL EXTENSIONS
The last triceps movement is seated one arm behind-the-neck dumbbell extensions. It will help you to make your outer triceps stick out from the side. To maximize the intensity of the pump you have to use the fullest range of motion you can get without going to the resting point. Do not relax your triceps at the end of the movement. You have to feel a tight stretch at the bottom and a hard squeeze at the top for a maximum peak contraction. 3 sets for 15 reps will be optimal.

Change all these exercises after 4 months!
 
I got my biggest size increase when I hit biceps after my heavy back day.. After all my rows, I did two sets of close grip pullups using only my biceps and then finished it off with hammer curls running the rack. Thats it.. Did that once per week and I grew more than I did when I was cheat curling 185 for doubles and triples... Just put on some pounds.. When you increase your bodyweight by 10 pounds, your arms will grow...

I know everyone is different but i wouldn't recommend hiting after back. The best thing i would recommend is hitting it something like this

arms triceps biceps
legs
back
chest
biceps only
rest
shoulders and traps

just try to hit it twice a week, and watch putting biceps around back because almost all back excerises use your biceps and you could be over training them
same thing with triceps and shoulders with chest
 
Interesting bi workout but dam look at them numbers in sets its saying to do..
That looks to me like way to many sets and might possible cause more lose then gains.It does hit all angles though, but overtrain will do more harm then good..Myself i do them once a week and they hurt for 3 days and sometimes affects my other routines.I do like a my heavy bi's first then light shapeing sets at high rep till i am burnt...Now i got a nice peak going like i wanted.
But you have to find what works for you,to much and to little will get you nothing back..But most people will tell you once a week done right will get you growth....
 
No Bro you pick the part you want to work and do that section..I picked one and did it then the next after that the next week and so on..After each bi did the tri..works like a charm..Ya don't do them all at once..

that workout program of his is brutal. cant wait to try it.


All RADARS Program are not for the week they are for the insane... ;) You must be ready to hit your groups like they have been before... :p
 
For what it is worth, incline DB curls are my favorite bicep isolation exersize. Brutal stretch at the bottom of the movement, and if you do it strict, it hits hard. Be careful of your neck (I usually roll a towel behind my head).

Go heavy, and don't neglect your back work and deads.

What's worked for me and always does is as follows:
1.chest-tri's
2.back-bi's
3.shoulders-legs

Bi's = standing curl 4 8-10 reps with all (rotate between ez curl bar-straight) quickly followed by DB curls - Then hammer curls..... After this i can barely move my arms they get so pumped. Try it in that order

In my opinion, you should review your triceps workout. If u wanna make your arms look bigger, you should put some extra emphasis in your triceps. Remember that the triceps is a compund of 3 different muscles versus 2 of the biceps, so by hitting your triceps a little harder should make things better. Don't get me wrong, I'm not suggesting to neglect your biceps.
I hit my bis and tris the same day, and I've had outsanding results.
In the middle of my routine, I alternate one set of skull crushes with one set of dumbell curls and the pumps are amazing.
Every 3 weeks, and after a good warm up, I start my arm work out with preacher curls in a scott bench with a z-bar/cambered bar and load enough weight to ensure that I can only go as far as 8 reps, inmediatly after (that means no rest) I drop off 10lbs from each side of the bar and try to get an extra 2-3 reps and that would count as 1 set. So I go ahead and do 3 mores sets for a total of 4.

That's what's worked for me, so you can try it, sure you're not gonna loose any money...so y not. If you're not happy, then try something else.

Thanks BIG JAKE that program is actually designed for those who are on gear, and yes i have done all those exercises in one scession(if time permits), remember you are in an Antibolic State so theres no worry on over training as long as you supply enough protein & nutrients to the body.

Or if you wish pick a few and run with it-remember you reap what you sow!

I like preacher curls on the cable machine. . .no let-off at the top of the rep. . .wicked pump :evil:
 
I feel the biceps, arms, and calves are determined alot thru genetics. Some guys just can't get a massive bicep peak, and/or huge arms or vice versa.
 
I have always had trouble putting on huge arm size, even on cycle. I now swear by pyramid sets on the preacher bench, followed by standing barbell curls and concentration dumbell curls. Like the guys say, train like an animal and force those last few reps to failure.

To get a peak a friend always suggested that when doing let's say ez bar curls on the way up you bring the edge of your palm or i'll say wrist for arguments sake close in as opposed to your knuckles when completing the movement.
 
My arms havent grow in ages... I'm at 180lbs now and my arms just aren't proportional to my body.

I've pretty much tried everything out there. I'm just not getting results even on my cycles. My arms are only like 13" inches, and 15" inches flexed all the way around, and my wrists are pretty small as well. Its weird having a nice upper body without big arms.

Anyone else having this problem?

Are drag curls really that effective? I looked it up and it doesn't seem to be that productive of a workout.

Any suggestions though? I'm currently supersetting bis and tris in one day once every few days to see if I can build some more mass but I need something thats a great arm builder.
 
I was cursing Radar during and after his arm workout. I swear I had to whip my torso to swing my arms onto the steering wheel just to drive home and that was on test and var. Frigin eh man, that workout should be considered cruel and unusual punishment.

Most of the time i have to show members had to do them correctly, plus the arm routine as posted by BIG JAKE will pack a punch if you are willing to step up to the plate!

I do preachers, followed bu incline db curls, then finish with barbell only with super slow negatives.

How much do you Row? (not standing up or half assedly dragging weight into your body while at 40 degrees) I mean, while your torso is nearly parallel to the ground, how much weight can you row into your body in a controlled manner? You try pullups? You can do watever variation of curl you want or think you are hitting your arm from watever angle you can dream up.. but ya jus gotta get strong bro, plain and simple. A little direct arm work is fun every now and then... but trying gaining some solid weight and get stronger in all your basic lifts and tell me your arms havent grown. Some people have better genetics than others.. but you can certainly make improvements to your physique.
 
Everyones body will react in different ways. I trained as heavy as I could and I trained the shit out of my arms and only got minimal results. I had a guy in the Marine Corps I worked out who had freakish arms and overall build. He told me to stop training arms as much and focus on Pull-Ups and chin-ups bent over rows and for tri's Close-grip bench and weighted dips at a dip station (not on a bench). I did and my arms blew the fuck up and my back did as well not to mention my grip strength improved. The next time I picked up a barbell to do curls, the previous weight I was curling wasnt shit.
Just my 2cc's

Radar where can I find the workout?

I've been going heavy for the past couple of years and I haven't seen that much change to my arms at all or maybe I'm not noticing.

Plans are in the works to put in in my online journal here. however you may pm me and i'll sent you the whole shebang.

A word of note: on the bicep routine -pick 3 or 4 and alternate each week, do not try to do the whole program each time in one session as that will be counter productive, once in a while is fine, if you have the time, this program will need changing after 12-16 weeks.

SEATED ONE-ARM DUMBBELL EXTENSIONS

Are seated two arm extensions just as good?

I never feel I get proper form when doing one arm, but throw an heaver dumbell on with 2 arm I feel I get a better burn and better form.

Anyone know? Or is there a way to make my arm stay in the proper form? Something I can use to just get the feel?

thanks

PS I am doing a tricept first bicept last work out now. After my break my tricepts were so week they were holding back my chest workouts.
