YOU ARMS STOP GROWING? By Ben Pakulski

I'll be frank, I'm getting tired of all this "functional training," talk. Come on! 




Is that the reason you really got into lifting weights? It seems arm training has taken a dip in popularity and this may be the case in some circles but if you're REALLY honest I'm guessing you wanted arms that resembled a SUPERHERO... and for that, doing DIRECT bicep and tricep workout will
NEVER go out of style.

And having big, muscular arms that stretch your shirtsleeves will NEVER EVER go out of style either, so today is a reminder that when you pick up a copy of Ben Pakulski's MI40 System you'll also get his complete 21-day workout to BIGGER ARMS.  The same workout that packed TWO INCHES on his arms in 3 weeks! RIDICULOUS!  I would be
happy with just 3/8ths of an inch!

Now onto our arm tips compliments of the big man himself... 

4 Uncommon Tips To BIGGER ARMS 
By Ben Pakulski

1) LESS VOLUME! 

Small muscles require less volume, and recover faster. Basic logic says, a smaller muscle has less overall total volume of muscle fibres. It takes LESS overall stimulus to fatigue these muscles and less overall training volume to exhaust glycogen stores (stored muscle energy).


2) HEAVY WEIGHTS (WITH PERFECT FORM) 

Heavy weights are going to fatigue a greater overall percentage of muscle fibres in a shorter amount of time (aka less sets). Heavy weights also have  the added benefit of stimulating "high threshold motor units". These are the  
muscle fibres that require a lot more stimulus to grow and respond, but also the fibres that are more likely to be responsible for muscle hypertrophy or GROWTH!



3) ARMS RECEIVE A LOT OF STIMULUS ON A REGULAR BASIS

Arms receive a lot of stimulus on a regular basis. For most people, this tends to occur in the middle of the range of motion where the muscles are strongest. 

In order to get the arms to grow and respond, it is necessary to subject them to a different type of stimulus. One of the best ways to improve arm development is to subject them to 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 muscles are weakest). This will allow for greater time under tension as well as targeting different  
points of the strength curve to force the nervous system to adapt and stimulate new muscle growth.



4) YOU MUST ENGAGE THE TARGET MUSCLE FIRST IN ANY MOVEMENT

The 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 initiate 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 to ensure this is happening is to CONTRACT its antagonist muscle. 

This will ensure a fully lengthened working muscle and make it much more likely that it will initiate the movement(provided youre using proper control).

e.g. when working your bicep, to fully stretch your bicep at the bottom of the range, it is necessary to  contract your tricep before initiating the movement of contracting your bicep again.The opposite is true when training triceps. Contract your biceps at the top of the range when a tricep is fully stretched(forearm 
touches biceps).

Tomorrow is your LAST CHANCE to get a Ben's 21 Days to BIGGER ARMS workout for FREEEEE when you pick up a copy of his 40-day muscle building system - MI40! The same program that helped him become one of the
top 15 bodybuilders in the WORLD! CLICK HERE

If you're tired of busting your butt in the gym with little to show, tired of seeing your buddies get twice as big as you and can't remember the last time you had a growth spurt... you would be insane not to give this a shot!  If a 275 pound pro has room to grow, I'm sure you do too!

Get the full story here... Even if you don't buy, there is some brilliant info on how to immediately double your gains: 

Have a great day


P.S. I just announced a SURPRISE BONUS of my own when you grab MI40....

Changing Your Grip to Build Bigger Biceps

Switch your grip and give this biceps workout a try for more muscular arms. 




The barbell curl is king when it comes to building biceps mass, as it adequately hits the biceps muscle group. But you can get even more from this old standard by changing your grip width to alter the angle of stress placed upon the biceps muscles.




    * Regular Grip: For most bodybuilders, this refers to a shoulder-width grip. In this position, the arms are fairly vertical and the biomechanics for the curl are optimal. This grip allows a fairly even contribution from both biceps heads and the brachialis to curl the weight.

     
    * Wide Grip: Any grip beyond shoulder-width is considered wide for the barbell curl, but about 6 inches wider than shoulder-width is average. A wide grip places more emphasis on the short head of the biceps brachii.

     
    * Narrow Grip: Any grip less than shoulder-width is considered narrow. Most bodybuilders find that the closest they can comfortably get is about 2 inches or so in from shoulder width, or just beyond hip width. A narrow grip shifts more emphasis onto the long head of the biceps.

     
    * Varied Grip: Although a shoulder-width grip hits all the biceps muscles hard, it's important to modify your grip from narrow to wide (and in between) to stress the biceps muscles from as many different angles as possible, resulting in the fullest, most complete development. 




You can throw grip changes into your biceps workout in several ways.     

    1) Increase grip width by 2 inches each training session, beginning with a grip width just under shoulder-width and ending with a grip width just beyond 6 inches outside shoulder width.

    2) Do the same as above within a single training session, changing your grip width for each set.

    3) Incorporate your own variations of these suggestions to continually modify your grip width, which will keep your muscles stimulated for gains.




    A GRIPPING BICEPS WORKOUT

    Use the following workout to hit the biceps from every angle.


    EXERCISES SETS/REPS
    
Barbell Curl (warm-up with comfortable grip) 2/10
    
Barbell Curl (shoulder-width grip)                     1/6-10

Barbell Curl (2" inside shoulder-width grip) 1/8-12
    
Barbell Curl (4" beyond shoulder-width grip) 1/6-10
    
Barbell Curl (shoulder-width grip)                     1/6-10
