Build Muscular Arms with this Arm Workout
Author: Greg Jones
Developing a great pair of arms is a goal of many people who workout. This is why you see people spending hour upon hour at the gym, pumping the weights doing curls and flexing their biceps with poses that look like something out of an Arnold movie, yet many people never achieve their goal of building muscular arms.
Building up a set of biceps and triceps to have people staring takes time and a lot of work. When looking at building arms, you need to always remember a few principles of arm training –
Stay within the 6-8 rep range, 3 sets per exercise
Use heavier weights
Use a variety of angles to hit the muscle from different directions
When lowering the weight always go slower than when raising the weight
Remember to work the triceps as they take 66% of your arms girth
Always switch between exercises every 6 weeks
Only do this workout every 5 days to give proper recovery time
You will need to really take your time on arm day, as there are a ton of arm exercises that can be done. Just make sure to always stretch out your arms afterwards so you aren’t walking like Frankenstein the day afterwards.

This workout is going to be tough, and it is important to make sure you drink a good whey protein shake and eat some grapes afterwards as your arms will need protein afterwards.
If you want to start seeing more definition on your arms, then you need to follow a diet plan as by eating the right amounts of calories and protein, you will see some great definition results. Aim to eat every 2.5 hours in order to get your metabolism going full speed and have a constant stream of nutrients hitting your blood stream. A good rule of thumb when trying to eat enough protein is that you need to eat about 30 grams per meal, anything more won’t be used by your body and will just be excreted out.
So if you want to have a pair of arms that are going to impress everyone that you see you should definitely be doing this workout, but remember that it may take time so just be continuous in your muscle gaining efforts, and keep with your diet program and you will be flexing your guns in no time.
