How To Get Huge Muscular Arms? Build Big Triceps Exercises

So you want to get big huge muscular arms. Do not ignore your triceps exercises.

In gyms everywhere, you will see people doing bicep curls after bicep curls. If someone were to ask them to show their muscles, they will most likely flex their biceps. How about you? Well, since you are reading this article, then you must have known that to own huge muscular arms, you must build huge triceps.

Do you know why? It is because your tricep is 2/3 the size of your arm. Just imagine, your bicep is only 30% while your tricep takes up 60%. So if you are neglecting your triceps, you are neglecting 60% of your arms while working on the miniscule 30% called the biceps. Of course you still need to work on your biceps for that well rounded balanced muscular look.

Furthermore, since your triceps are involved in many other body building exercises such as military presses, bench presses and many other exercises, having strong triceps will help you to lift heavier in those other exercises and thus will be encouraging further muscular growth in other body parts.

Your triceps consist of three main muscle whereas your biceps has only 2, the their respective names begins with "tri" and "bi". That is another reason why your triceps should be bigger.

Tricep Excercise Form

So you have been training your triceps but do not see good results. It could possibly be due to your movement during your reps where the exercises are not performed to its full range of motion. You see, the mass concentration of tricep muscles is at the top of the arm and therefore you have to stretch your arms beyond what you feel that is natural in order to reach the deep fibers of your tricep muscles.

On top of that your form must be strict with minimum elbow movements when performing tricep exercises like skull crushes and tricep extensions. These exercises reach deep into your triceps muscles when you do it with full range of movement.

Tricep exercises like close grip bench press, diamond pushups and cable pushdowns do not give you that range of movement as the range of these exercises are limited. This is not to say that you don't do these exercises, just concentrate on them less.

So in order to build big huge triceps, you must feel the pull of your tricep muscles when the weight is at its lowest position before pulling them back.

Want those big muscular arms? Then do not forget to work on your triceps hard and do it in good form.

    For many people trying to build big biceps and triceps, a common error is performing what should be an isolation exercise as a compound movement. Isolation exercises are designed to force the targeted muscle to perform with minimal assistance from other muscle groups and stimulate superior growth. Efficient and successful performance of these exercises requires proper training technique.

    I often read articles where some fitness “guru” insists that you should choose only bodyweight exercises in setting up your strength or muscle building program. The usual claim is that bodyweight exercises are absolutely better than weight lifting techniques for building muscle and strength. This article explains why, in reality, it’s a false debate because if your goal is to build massive arms you should use both bodyweight exercises and weightlifting to reach this goal.

    Compound exercises require certain muscle groups to work simultaneously and in coordination with each other. Compound movements can produce significant growth in your larger muscle areas, but in most instances these exercises do not isolate your biceps enough to stimulate maximum growth. This article explains why a combination of isolation and compound exercises is best for building big, muscular biceps.

    If you are one of the many people trying to lose weight, have been dieting for a few weeks, but seen no apparent weight loss, it could be due, in part at least, to hidden calories. If you are on a proper, healthy diet, then you can expect it to take a few weeks before any noticeable difference occurs. Your weight can vary by up a couple of pounds from week to week anyway depending on various factors such as hormones, so until you are confident that you have lost 3-4 pounds you will not be happy.

    Fad diets and crash diets, such as the cabbage soup diet and Hollywood diet, are not only unhealthy but also tend to result in rebound weight gain. In other words, the weight you have lost is soon regained, either because the weight loss was mainly water, soon inevitably restored by the body, or because you cannot keep up a severely restrictive food diet for ever, or even for very long.

    Warming up before you begin a session in the gym or a game of squash or tennis is important because it helps to protect you from injury by increasing blood supply to the muscles and loosening joints. This allows you maximum speed and agility in your game or maximum strength for weight lifting.

    If you work from home without equipment, then one of the best exercises to work your triceps is the weighted push ups.

    Do the exercise with a haversack filled with books. Then do it real slow!

    You also get to work your shoulders, chest and lats with this great home exercise.
