How do I get my biceps big properly?
#21
Best way to get your biceps I would recomend you to go to fitness and lift the weights! )) start slow i mean with low weight and then you should go further on step by step

For building muscle : HIGH WEIGHT, LOW REPS

8-10 reps max.

Workout that specific muscle group every other day. Give your muscles time to rebuild the fibers or else you're just destroying them and not replacing them.

Two really good workouts I found for biceps while doing P90X are the in and out bicep curls and full supination concentration curls.

Do NOT work out the same muscle groups every day. Your muscles need time to relax and rebuild.

If you're trying to look "big", do a few heavy loads when you do work out. I believe it's 80% of your maximum load as many times as possible? Or something like that...

If you want to get toned, it's more reps at a lower weight, I don't know the percentage though.

You need to eat healthy and maintain a strong daily routine. Meals high in protein is beneficial when trying to build particular muscle groups.

Oh man.. Don't just do your biceps. Your triceps make up 3/4's of your arm. If you're going to work out do it right. Especially since you have a gym membership. Do something like this

    --------------- Bench 4 sets, incline bench 4 sets, flies 3 sets, crossover machine "flies" 3 sets

    Thursday -
    --------- "Rest day"

    Start all over again!
Feel free to throw core workouts in every other 2 days or so. Work your lower back as well, if you work the front of your core be sure to work the back.
If you are working your chest be sure to work your back as well. If you don't it can cause back problems because your chest is too strong for your back and it makes you hunch over.
As for forearms, throw those in every 3 days or so as well.

** For these bicep exercises, the hammer curl is good for your forearms and lower bicep. DO NOT EVER PUT MORE WEIGHT THAN YOU CAN DO. If you can only do 20's properly do 20's. Do not put on more weight and lose form. If you lose form and only work the top of your bicep because you're not extending your arms all the way out you will have little top biceps and a gap between your elbow and bicep. It looks funny. So form over weight.
The preacher curls are also very good for lower bicep.

* The pulldowns can be pull ups. It depends on how strong you are. These are hard to do 8-10 times for most people. Chins ups are easy, wide grip pull ups are hard.

Good luck.
Drink your protein and a lot of it.

Are you trolling me? I don't care. Your thread may help someone that was too embarrassed to ask.

Making your muscles bigger is done mainly with less reps, and more weight.

I personally really need to start working out, I need to get it in one last time before I graduate college.

Good luck with your exercise man!
