Struggling arms !!

[al420]

which compound excercises r u talkin about?

#1 Squats
#2 Deads
#3 Rows
#4 Chins

And remember 'arms' are mostly tricep... so bench a lot as well.

i get better results if i do higher rep/lower with with my preacher and standing curls when it copmes to bi's. on the other hand when i'm on tri's i do a lower rep HEAVY weight.

also, try suicide curls, and always replenish your body with protein and nutrients post workout, and lots of rest so your workout is not effort without returns.

When I was bodybuilding back in the early 90's my trainer was good friends with Dr. Squat Fred Hatfield. I asked him why I couldn't get my legs bigger. I told him that we were squatting heavy, leg pressing, hacks stiff leg deadlifts etc. He told me that I had to do just 3 sets of 40 reps on the leg extension and the same on the leg curl. He said that this would force my body to "create" more blood vessels in my legs hence getting more blood flow into that body part. You can apply the same principle to your arms. Try doing with just the bar 3 sets of 40 reps on the barbell curl and the same with push downs.

#1. drag curl with a straight bar, I rotate my wrist outward as much as possible. Think of trying to keep your pinkies up. I do this for 2 sets.

#2. The other thing that worked for me is cable curls, unilaterally. I use the Freemotion with one handle to curl one arm at a time. I put the Freemotion's arm all the way down, stand close to the machine. This makes the tension hightest at the peak of the motion. I curl my wrist outward to emphasize the peak of the bicep. I go lighter on these. I do it just like I was flexing for someone to show off, except that I have resistance of the weight. Think of trying to keep your pinkies up again. I do this for 2 sets.

With both exercises you can do the first one on one day and the second one on another day.

Squat. No One w/ a 500lb back squat has small arms.

Oh yeah and drinks lots of milk.

I call this bs. I squat heavy and my arms still lag behind.
