    Everyone is obsessed over curls and arm isolation, but they don't realize heavy weighted chins and dips/CG bench are the absolute truth. I started using a slingshot for dips because of shoulder issues, and I can tell you putting it low around your ribcage puts so much extra emphasis on the triceps. Good stuff.

    Really for any muscle group: compounds- focus on moving heavy weight with good form. Isolations- focus on squeezing and contracting the muscles and feeling the movement in the targeted muscle group.

    I've been doing this variation to a waiter curl and it is a great bicep isolation exercise. Put your pinkies together and squeeze the top of the dumbbell so the bottom tilts towards you. You have to extend your wrists backwards, and you will remove all forearm contribution. Great bicep pump

    Great advice on occlusion training. I've been doing 'Kaatsu' here in Japan with a certified trainer for about 5 months, once a week. It has made a major difference in my arms. Also I'm in and out of the gym much faster. If it works for a 76 year old, it has to be a great idea for young lifters.

    • @Someonebutnoone10
      @Someonebutnoone10 3 роки тому +3

      Only works for old people cause they’re not safely able to load the musculature. Just my opinion. But if you’re able to load heavier it’s better than occlusion training where you’re curling a couple pounds

    I have an arm question that's been bugging me recently. How do you balance arm training with bigger muscles? For me, at least, doing arms on a separate day leaves me at less than 100% for chest or back day. But it's hard to do lots of arm exercises when you're doing chest or back the same day. Any suggestions?

    • @Alexander-iy1rt
      @Alexander-iy1rt 3 роки тому +1

      Maybe try to vary ur compounds to more arm focused during certain periods. So rotate close(r) grip bench with normal bench and rotate the chin ups in with ur rows/normal pull ups. This varying, alliterating, or how ever u rotate them in might help.

    • @BOBANDVEG

      10-15 sets a week compound.
      5-7 sets a week isolation.

      Do iso arms for leg day, program compound lifts for chest/ back days

    • @Keviekev115
      @Keviekev115 2 роки тому +2

      Always do compounds first and then finish off with isolations. So in that sense… no arm day. Say I do a push day. Or just an upper day. I hit my one or two compound lifts and then I can go HAM!! Or as hard as I want on arms. Usually 4-5 sets of bicep and then 4-5 sets of 2-3 tricep exercises

  • @TypicallyUniqueOfficial
    @TypicallyUniqueOfficial 3 роки тому +2

    I hate talking about rep ranges.
    Why does anyone have to pick and choose, I truly think you need to use a variety of stimulation to maximize growth.
    Heavy weights help so much with strength, straight sets of 8-12 reps help with the majority of your mass through volume accrual and tension. Drop sets help when you're stuck on a plateau, and you get in extra volume in not much extra time.
    I also don't like to do a ton of exercises in 1 workout, cycle the exercises and do more sets with less exercises. You gain strength much better if you do 3-4 sets per exercise and then do 2 exercises, versus if you do 3 exercises and 2 sets each exercise. I always struggle progressing with less than 3 sets on an exercise.

  • @Iamscottreed
    @Iamscottreed 2 роки тому +6

    Another great exercise to try that will destroy your biceps and make them super strong and big. Get in a palm facing you chin up position, but instead of doing reps, just get to the top position and hold as long as you can, naturally you will start to lower yourself just because you can’t hold it any longer. Try to fight to hold as long as possible until you get to the bottom. Rest for 10-20 seconds and do it again. Repeat this 3 or 4 times(trust me that’s all you need). I use straps to help with my grip, but your forearms will get an incredible workout as well. Give it a try and tell me what you think. I do this and go right to doing heavy hammer curls. Your arms will be so tight and pumped you won’t believe it. You will have that deep muscle ache before you ever leave the gym.

      @@herethere5637 another thing you can do that will definitely add thickness and peak. Sit in an incline position(like incline dumbbell bench press )basically your arms will be hanging kinda behind you, do these for reps. Go light at first, you may feel a stretch, if you feel pain STOP! As you do the curl, visualize a peanut in the crease of your arm and crush the peanut, squeeze the heck out of that area. Try not to move your elbows, try to keep them down and behind you(a little movement is ok), I hope this helps
