Build Arm Muscle With These 4 Tips For Killer Arms
Build arm muscle is one of the first things that many people try to do
when they start out with body building.
You can find oceans of advice on the net, all telling you to try
different things.
If you are done with the rest, check out the rest of this article to find
out how to build arm muscle for real.
Tip 1
Don’t overtrain.
This is something done by most people who are trying to build arm
muscle.
The reason being, your arms are involved in most of the other weight
lifting you do in your routine, so quite often you’ll overtrain them by
accident.
The key to avoiding this is to leave the arms until the last part of your
workout.
This will ensure you don’t overdo things.
Tip 2
Something else essential to build arm muscle is to get the most from
every single rep.
You need to get the maximum extension that you can for every rep, to make
sure that you are getting the maximum amount of muscle fibers
involved.
More fibers mean more growth, and it will also give you an even
definition all over the muscle.
Tip 3
As well as making sure you get the right extension, you want to control
the weight during both the positive and negative phase of the lift.
A lot of this will come down to weight selection, so make sure you have a
weight you can handle.
To get the very best from your workout and develop killer arms as soon as
possible, perform the lift as fast as you can while controlling the
weight.
With the negative phase, lower the weight as slow as you can, try to aim
for the release to take 2 seconds at least.

Tip 4
Understand that your muscles are made up of more than one muscle.
In order to build arm muscle and get big arms, you want to
concentrate on each arm muscle separately.
You’ll look pretty ridiculous if you walk around with huge biceps and
tiny triceps, so try and work them all evenly.
Some people find the triceps hard to work, and instead concentrate solely
on their biceps – not only will this result in a strength imbalance, but
it can result in injuries to ligaments etc too.
Ripped arms are cool, but ripped ligaments are painful!
