If you have been lifting weights for a while than chances are that you might have
been asked a number of times to flex your biceps in order to show your hard work. People will never ask you to show them your lats, thighs or chest; the muscles that grab all the attention are that of arms. Walk in to any gym in your area and you will definitely find a lot of motivated beginners hitting their arms and spending countless hours in the gym in order to make them grow. Unfortunately, most of them fail to get any significant growth because of the wrong approach. In this article, you will find 2 very useful tips for making your arms pop out of your sleeves.
Train Every Muscle That Comprises of Arm.
A common mistake made by most of the people is that they mainly focus on building the biceps and in the process they neglect triceps and other muscles (brachialis) that comprise of arm. The truth is that triceps make almost two thirds of the whole arm so it only makes sense to train them properly and with full intensity in order to get over all arm development. Moreover, biceps are smaller muscles and they respond best to high intensity but brief training sessions. It is recommended that you dont do more than 8 sets for biceps and 10 sets for triceps every workout in order to get maximum arms size.
Rest to Recover.
It is very important that you take plenty of rest after a grueling arms workout in order to allow your body sufficient time to recover and then go in to the phase of growth. It is recommended that you take at least 8 hours of sleep every night in order to get best results. Taking small naps during the day is another great way to recharge your body for maximum muscle growth. Taking 30 minutes out of your daily routine in order to take a quick nap can work wonders for you. Sleep not only refreshes the mind but a lot of growth hormones are naturally released in your body during sleep.
