How To Get Huge Muscular Arms Build Big Triceps Exercises
So you want to get big huge muscular arms. Do not ignore your triceps exercises.
In gyms everywhere, you will see people doing bicep curls after bicep curls. If someone were to ask them to show their muscles, they will most likely flex their biceps. How about you? Well, since you are reading this article, then you must have known that to own huge muscular arms, you must build huge triceps.
Do you know why? It is because your tricep is 2/3 the size of your arm. Just imagine, your bicep is only 30% while your tricep takes up 60%. So if you are neglecting your triceps, you are neglecting 60% of your arms while working on the miniscule 30% called the biceps. Of course you still need to work on your biceps for that well rounded balanced muscular look.
Furthermore, since your triceps are involved in many other body building exercises such as military presses, bench presses and many other exercises, having strong triceps will help you to lift heavier in those other exercises and thus will be encouraging further muscular growth in other body parts.
Your triceps consist of three main muscle whereas your biceps has only 2, the their respective names begins with tri and bi. That is another reason why your triceps should be bigger.
Tricep Excercise Form
So you have been training your triceps but do not see good results. It could possibly be due to your movement during your reps where the exercises are not performed to its full range of motion. You see, the mass concentration of tricep muscles is at the top of the arm and therefore you have to stretch your arms beyond what you feel that is natural in order to reach the deep fibers of your tricep muscles.
On top of that your form must be strict with minimum elbow movements when performing tricep exercises like skull crushes and tricep extensions. These exercises reach deep into your triceps muscles when you do it with full range of movement.
Tricep exercises like close grip bench press, diamond pushups and cable pushdowns do not give you that range of movement as the range of these exercises are limited. This is not to say that you dont do these exercises, just concentrate on them less.
So in order to build big huge triceps, you must feel the pull of your tricep muscles when the weight is at its lowest position before pulling them back.
Want those big muscular arms? Then do not forget to work on your triceps hard and do it in good form.
BONUS : How to Calculate Lean Body Mass
Your lean body mass (LBM) measurement is of the utmost importance to you and your bodybuilding efforts. Your LBM measurement is determined by a percentage of body weight reading (using a caliper) in decimal form, multiplied by your body weight and subtracting the result from your body weight.
For example, if your caliper reading is 17.5% and you weigh 173 pounds, you convert your body fat reading to a decimal (.175) and multiply that number times your body weight (.175 x 173 = 30.3 pounds of body fat). Then, you must subtract the pounds of body fat from the total body weight in order to get your LBM measurement (173 - 30.3 = 152.7 LBM).
You've no doubt heard the phrase, "muscle weighs more than fat." Well, that is almost right. Actually, a pound of fat weighs exactly the same as a pound of muscle, but the pound of muscle doesn't occupy nearly so much space as a pound of fat. Fat is "fluffy," and thus larger. Muscle is hard, solid, and compact. So by VOLUME, muscle weighs more than fat.
The thing is that two people who are exactly the same height, have the same general build, and weigh exactly the same can look entirely different. The difference is their LBM. The person with the highest LBM reading will look far more trim and fit than the other. Just by looking at the two, you would believe that the one with the lower LBM would weigh more because he would have a greater body mass. He'll be "fluffy" while his fit and trim twin will be hard and rock solid.
Remember that the goal of bodybuilding is not just to get bigger muscles. You don't want to be "fluffy." You want to be muscular.
