mass -> 15.5" bicep to 16" (Jul. 31 2005 14:19:45)

how long should it take to go from 15.5" to 16" arms, just wondering


dirtyvest -> RE: 15.5" bicep to 16" (Jul. 31 2005 14:25:24)

Impossible to ay. If you've just started training then not too long hopefully. If not then there are so many variables it could be a few months it could be a year it could be longer.

been training a while now, but this last 6months ive gone from 14.6 to 15.5 surely i aint gonna continue to grow that fast on my arms, im hoping for another 1/2" in 6months.


Gecko -> RE: 15.5" bicep to 16" (Jul. 31 2005 23:32:35)

0.5" in 6 months is pretty realistic IMO if your eating enough and your training is nailed.


Chez -> RE: 15.5" bicep to 16" (Aug. 1 2005 0:06:02)

Yeah its really hard to say - For instance I don't think that my biceps have got much bigger in a long while. I don't think I could put on half an inch in 6months but then I've been training for longer that you and am totally different.

What is your bicep rputine at present??


mass -> RE: 15.5" bicep to 16" (Aug. 1 2005 20:01:11)

bicep routine, well my biceps get hit while doing my back workout ofter that i normaly do seated curls,

this week i did this

17kg per arm 12 reps

18.5kg per arm 10 reps

22.5 per arm 7 reps

25.5kg per arm 5 reps

thats it for the biceps theres no need for loads of sets 4 sets is plenty imo

Train your forarms and triceps harder. And eat.


cleg -> RE: 15.5" bicep to 16" (Aug. 1 2005 21:33:30)

I would throw in some heavy barbell curls if you want your biceps to grow.When you get to the end of a set cheat out a couple more reps too.It seems that a lot of people dont advocate too much direct arm work these days because you work them during chest/back workouts.Speaking personally,my arms grew the most when I did plenty of heavy curls and heavy tricep presses.


mass -> RE: 15.5" bicep to 16" (Aug. 1 2005 22:42:01)

the thing is a fair bit of my arm size is from tricep mass, i do scull crushers and weighted dips, but my bicep thickness and peak is crap, what can i do?


Gecko -> RE: 15.5" bicep to 16" (Aug. 2 2005 0:39:54)

I think peak has a lot to do with genetics and bodyfat levels, whereas thickness is just about piling mass on.

Like the guys said BB/DB curls are the most boring but tested method.


cleg -> RE: 15.5" bicep to 16" (Aug. 2 2005 8:55:42)

It's true to say that bicep peak is mainly down to genetics but there are exercises to maximise what you've got.Preacher curls are supposed to be good for peak,try barbells and/or dumbells.Arnies methods of trianing are pretty much outdated now,and the man was a genetic freak,but he swore that concentration curls were the best exercise for bicep peak,and let's face it,he had the best bicep peak of anyone who ever lived.

I agree with your first sentence, but disagree with the rest of it. You can maximize what you've got, for sure, but personally I don't think concentration curls or preacher curls will make a blind bit of difference over any other sort of curl.

I would give it 6 months, takes around 1 year to add an inch to your arms if natural imo


Reg* -> RE: 15.5" bicep to 16" (May 1 2008 0:31:58)

Maybe try hammer curls? For the last 2 months I have been using a hammer bar to curl and have noticed a difference in my bicep size.


Killik2099 -> RE: 15.5" bicep to 16" (May 1 2008 22:44:54)

Don't forget that bicep is only 35% of your arm. Tricep is a much bigger part.

Do you mean a diff in your bicep or brachillis, im going to add hammers into my routine for a wee while now i think it targets the brachilis

i try saying this to the guys in the gym but yet they still opt for hitting such a small muscle with 4 exercises comprimising of 3-4 sets each.

And they wonder why they dont grow [&:]
