Top arm workout

Fact: every male would wish to have big arms. Girls adore huge biceps. Men admire their fellows who have been blessed with a set of masculine biceps. The most admired part of the male physique besides the chest is the arms. Many of those who have fallen prey to steroid supplements promising huge mass on the arms have only done so because of the innate desire to build huge biceps.

Training biceps is hard work. Harder than you might even imagine at the outset. What makes it hard is not because you have to use huge weights or execute crazy sets, no. All you need is consistency and that is where the problem lies. Many people fail in training their arms only because they do not do so consistently until the desired results are gained. That is why this article is for serious bodybuilders. It is for those who are willing, ready and able to stick to a three month training routine without compromising on either the diet or the workout routine.

The best bicep workout doesn't need those drop-set-laden and ultra-periodized arm blasting routines found in most bodybuilding literature. If you are a hardcore-training professional bodybuilder, the approaches might work with you. The average bodybuilder in the beginner and intermediate levels of training only needs a simple workout routine, which if consistently followed out, can pack extra inches on the arm within a short duration. The best bicep workout schedule must incorporate the following five elements:

a) Compound weight exercises with heavy weights but for low rep ranges. b) A balanced nutrition plan with optimised protein rations c) Adequate rest and recovery allowance of at least 24 hours after every training session. d) Regular training sessions distanced in regular intervals, preferably training for three days in a week. e) Isolation exercises for the biceps immediately after compound movements.

In compound exercises for the biceps, use free weights more than you would use machine weights so as to accumulate higher intensity levels. Remember to start your workout sessions with a warm-up for the biceps using a low-rep low-intensity set of the exercise you will be executing in the session later on. All compound exercises, which should be ideally three for every training session, should have three sets of six reps each. The 3 set - 6 reps intensity should optimally use a heavy weight that will ensure you reach absolute muscle failure by the 6th rep. Again, the weight should not be too heavy that you cannot reach the 5th rep in good form.

The best bicep workout must integrate the following isolation exercises with the same rep range as the compound exercises used. a) The straight bar curls b) Inclined Dumbbell Curl c) Barbell Curl d) The Z- bar curls e) Alternate dumbbell curl

This is a basic outline of components ideal for the best bicep workout. You must now structure a workout routine out of these requirements and determine your intensity level growth curve. Again, consistency is the key here, maintain the workout for 3-4 months and you will have something to smile about.
