The great thing about learning how to get bigger arm muscles is that most people are surprised just how little time this actually takes. Now if you are trying to get SERIOUS bulked up arms, you might need to check out this…
But if you just want your arms a little bigger, a little more toned, then we have some tips right here. (Think Jillian Michaels arms for the women, and maybe Lance Armstrong for the men?)
First thing to know when trying to get bigger arm muscles, is that you have to eat right. There is just no way around this unfortunately. Garbage in, garbage out. Healthy in, healthy out. So, protein, vegetables, complex carbohydrates.
The other good news about how to get bigger arm muscles is that it doesn’t require a lot of expensive equipment. Dumbbells can get it all done but you don’t even need those. Push-ups don’t require any money, just a lot of hard work. Also, you can do dips on your couch or a park bench. You know that hole for a garden you have been meaning to dig up for quite a while now? Get to it. Swinging a shuffle, hammer, hoe, ax, sledgehammer…are all going to get you some nice looking arms pretty quick.
For the ladies, you know that flappy part that hangs under the arms right? It CAN go away. Just keep toning and keep toning and keep toning and it will improve. Our favorite exercise for this is the above the head tricep drop. Hold two dumbbells over your head so your knuckles are facing each other. Then drop one arm at a time so that the end of the dumbbell hits your shoulder blade. You should feel that pull from your elbow to your armpit. You can choose to do these either to exhaustion or you can do about 20 x 3.
Don’t overwork your arms. Just one to two days per week is adequate and don’t work them two days in a row ever. You need to give the muscles time to repair and build themselves.
Now that you know some beginner tips on how to get bigger arm muscles, we expect to see you all at the “gun” show.
