I bought your 3 day program a month ago and I absolutely love it. I’m making great progress and see a clear path forward for many years to come. I’ll be purchasing your other programs to use a i progress over the next couple of years. Thank you so much for the work and info 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
No bs. I was a science based guy until I found Peter's channel. Now I'm definitely more neutral, but if I would've not followed Peter's advices I seriously wouldnt have made the same progress nor lose fear of doing some exercises.
Fr i think pete have the best content for Gym beginners because they can see that to get a good body and gaing strenght or reaching their goals at the gym they dont need to do nothing fancy, just do the basics and be consistent and pacient
My tips to add: 1) train arms first and/or on their own day 2) do a 50 rep warmup set with a light warmup weight before you start a heavy exercise 3) any exercise that is hard with a really low weight is a great exercise because you have a lot of opportunity to add volume and intensity
Extra tip: if something feels wrong with the bicep or tricep then don’t push it. Not worth risking injury. Sometimes when I’m dehydrated my arms feel real tender around the elbow.
I almost missed this video. You framed your thumbnail in red. When I saw it pop up and saw it was red on the bottom, it looked like a I had already watched it. Just putting that out there. Thanks for all your great tips.
Hey Peter! Really enjoy your content. Just wanted to give you a heads up that your video thumbnail has a red border around the edge that makes it appear as if you already watched the video. Keep Rising
Hands down best fitness channel on UA-cam. No bullshit, no trashtalk, don’t instructing fancy hipster exercises. Just pure bodybuilding and good advices!
Torso/limbs (4 day split) workout is one of better workout plans if you want to prioritise arms, it allows you to train arms 2x a week and it increases the level of frequency and volume of arm training.
@@2jmajjic Yes, for example you can train your torso workout on Monday and limb workout on Tuesday, rest on Wednesday, and than repeat torso workout on Thursday and limb workout on Friday, if this schedule doesn't fit you can move it on other days for example you can train torso/limb workout on Tuesday and Wednesday, rest on Thursday, and the repeat it on Friday and Saturday.
Training heavy after a pump has absolutely helped my biceps and I fell onto this by accident and love it. I just started to think my arms needed to be super warmed up!
I train full body three times a week. I put one day aside purely for arms which consists of high volume exercises. I realised early on in my lifting career that heavy weights does not build big arms necessarily it's the mind-muscle connection which I've mastered although there's always room for improvement :)
Love these tips because they are the ones that will lead to the most progress in arm size. I used to be overly worried about body English and perfect technique and adding more and more weight (but nothing like Peter’s level). Tip #10 really resonated with me. Amazing no BS content from Peter as usual.
I remember as a teenager seeing this guy at my gym with the biggest arms I've ever seen. One day I ask him what to do and he literally just tells me to lift 5-10lb weights for 100s of reps each set... I tried that for a few months and of course it didn't work. Worst advice I've ever heard looking back. Keep telling people what they need to hear. You're doing a great service to the lifting community 💪
You are so right. A ppl split doesn't lay which emphasis on the arms, sure if you have good genetics or are still a novice lifter. But to build up a lagging body part, it needs to be prioritized
Once I figured out how to do skull crushers and not affect my elbows negatively, they became one of my favorite triceps exercise. 💪 What works for me: warm up your elbows first! Almost anyone can do high rep pressdowns with a band to get everything nice and warm. If you're at the gym, just do some sets of cable pressdowns first. Skull crushers with an ez bar with a shoulder width grip and elbows tucked is what I've settled upon. Slow, controlled eccentric (let your elbows drift slightly downward as you start the movement). Keep those elbows tucked in. Focus on really extending the arm at the elbow as you press the weight upward. I think the touch point for the exercise is highly dependent on your arm anthropometry. Probably experiment with different touch points and see what works for your elbow health. For me, somewhere between my chin and nose is very easy on my elbows (I have long upper arms).
Go watch a vid from RP( renaissance periodization) on skullcrusher form and the whole bending your elbows before initiating the movement..ever since i did that lil trick and fiddled with handplacement my elbows and shoulders feel just fine and my long head gets most of the brunt.
I bought three of your programs I've trained on and off for twenty years to pick one of your programs it's going to help number one develop my physique and the goal in mind I'm getting as muscular and big as I can before I hit 50 I'm currently 44 so I have your following programs project Mass your 3-day and I also have your 5 day which one of your programs is the best for my goals I am a subscriber until now I've been one of your fans that just sets in silence and watches thanks
I do 3 arm isolations. EZ bar curls. Alternate dumbbell curls. Seated dumbbell concentration curls for biceps. Triceps I do Skull-crushers, rope pushdowns, straight bar pushdowns.
My favorite fitness channel , no bs just gems. I'd love to see some tips on cues to focus on , I'm sure you've got some decent knowledge with the years you've put in. Thanks for doing what you do! 💪🙏
👏🏼👏🏼loved this! I’m gonna try all these this week and measure again next Sunday to see if there’s any improvement 😁 thanks for the video man, love your channel!
@3:11 I got to this point and thought, for me personally, I find getting the muscle pumped just kind of "verifies" that you're excercizing the right muscle. Thinking about it, if you're doing direct "targeting" a pump is a great indicator that you've successfully established a good Mind-Muscle connection. I can see how folks also may think the "Pump" isn't a huge factor in big compound moves though. In the end, do what works for you. Try and experiment. BUT... the most important things to me are Start! and maintain Consistency over Time.
For the last month I've been doing a torso/limbs split working out Mon Tues Thurs Fri. On my Tues limbs, I do legs first, then arms. On Fri I train arms first, then legs. So far my arms have been developing well with this routine. My legs are also doing well.
Great points sir! To have more arm focus, I shifted to legs, arms/delts, rest, chest/back, rest, repeat split. But I do a small pump session for all muscle groups on another day as well. For example on legs day, I do just a few myo-rep sets for back and chest (pushups and band pulldowns) or arm pump on chest/back day. For the pump work it's always shortened biased movements that don't have a big recovery demand. But from this video I get that perhaps I can add more sets even for that pump session.
Skullcrushers and dips gave me great triceps. Never dawned on me to push the load on biceps really hurt them. Recently started doing straight bar heavy curls made a difference. Training arms more days per week seems to help
I do a routine of compound lifts for arms (6-8 reps) and then I do a higher rep finishing set usually between 12-15 reps with about 60-70% of the original working sets weight. At some point, slowing down the movement a bit helps too. It becomes tougher as mentioned without some body english as the weight won't move without some, though it is possible. Talk about intense. There comes a point as well where the risk outweighs the reward with increasing the weight. I always ask myself what my goals are. #1 is don't get hurt. I'm 47 and I've been training since my early 20s when bodybuilding changed my life and health. Bodybuilding not only saved my life, it continues to support me in all I do. Self care is so important.
Ive been using isolation work for my arms for over a month now and people are noticing and all my uper body lifts are stronger and much more stable. Isolation exercises are the king to build stability. Do them
8:36 would love to see some examples of these people who "Don't have the best arm development" when they're keeping their technique strict/perfect. I bet you a person who strict curls a 50lb dumbbell 12x is going to have better looking arms than a dude who swings their 60lb dumbbells for the same amount of reps.
I have a question for the community. Is there anyway you can prioritise your arms x2 a week without burning them out, if so, could I have some advice please or a plan? My chest, back, shoulders and legs are really decent. Unfortunately my arms have never been my strong point and would like to bring them in line with the rest of my body.
@@thebeatmajors_yt Chest/tris, back/bi’s, legs, then repeat. My tri’s and bi’s are being hit at the end of each major body part and I think that’s where im falling down not prioritising them and how my chest, back, shoulders and legs have come on significantly and my arms not so much
I do push (including quads), pull (including hams/glutes), arms (including a delt exercise) repeat 6 days a week. It's what works the best for me to prioritize arms
Hey Peter love this channel it changed my life I always train but I'm training and eating the Old School way I would like to know if you believe in supplementation do you yous supplements?
I got the ' arm genetics" I'm 53 years young ,22inch cold. Lean biceps. I have always done 2 exercises after back training, sometimes 4 exercises. I must admit I have very large triceps. I never go super heavy, I go for the squeeze and contraction thruogh progressive overload.High reps ( 15) they can take a beating
As a personal recommendation, do more cable exercises. The load curve is better, unlike weights. When you reach the full stretch position, the load is still there.
As a natty if you want really big arms? Don't worry about them until you have the clay to build 'em. Every time you put 2 45's on each end of the bar for your squat and dl, for reps, you made a deposit to your big arm retirement fund. The body, like everything else , grows from the ground up. Build your squat, dead, pull, push, then arms.
Can you also make a fully customized training program specifically tailored to one's needs that can be used for long-term? I would be very interested to purchase a custom program made by you based on these principles. Somewhat of a blueprint for me personally to achieve the body and strength I desire. I watch a lot of your videos and understand the main principles. But I am struggling to mix them into a well thought out and balanced program aimed at longterm progress. Would def. Like your help and expertise with that.
Question: what's the song that plays at the beginning of your videos? I swear I've heard it somewhere besides your videos, but I can't seem to find it anywhere else on the internet.
Thanks again Pete for more motivation. I am a beginner using stronglifts 5x5. Am I correct from your video that I can do a couple of arm exercises each workout instead of fitting in an arm day? Any advice would be very helpful to me

I love how this channel just makes sense. No fancy exercises, no magic routines... just the basics being applied correctly.
THIS!
Me 2 very simple concepts
No bs. I was a science based guy until I found Peter's channel. Now I'm definitely more neutral, but if I would've not followed Peter's advices I seriously wouldnt have made the same progress nor lose fear of doing some exercises.
A lot of it comes from Arnold's Bodybuilding book
Fr i think pete have the best content for Gym beginners because they can see that to get a good body and gaing strenght or reaching their goals at the gym they dont need to do nothing fancy, just do the basics and be consistent and pacient
Peter is the real deal. No smack talking or even mentioning other people or nonsense. Just facts. Respect due
Tht why we watch his content
Intense exercises to build those strong arms! Question... have you ever tried Next Level Diet? I got a muscle-building plan from them and I love it.
My tips to add:
1) train arms first and/or on their own day
2) do a 50 rep warmup set with a light warmup weight before you start a heavy exercise
3) any exercise that is hard with a really low weight is a great exercise because you have a lot of opportunity to add volume and intensity
Extra tip: if something feels wrong with the bicep or tricep then don’t push it. Not worth risking injury. Sometimes when I’m dehydrated my arms feel real tender around the elbow.

Gonna do arms and shoulders tomorrow gonna implement some of these

100%
Hands down best fitness channel on UA-cam. No bullshit, no trashtalk, don’t instructing fancy hipster exercises. Just pure bodybuilding and good advices!
Try doing this workout
1. Cable curl superset cable pushdown
2. Skull crushers superset barbell curl ( heavy)
3.cable triceps extension superset with incline dumbbell curl or hammer curl
The slow eccentric is missed by many... makes a huge difference
Torso/limbs (4 day split) workout is one of better workout plans if you want to prioritise arms, it allows you to train arms 2x a week and it increases the level of frequency and volume of arm training.

Wow that sounds like some arnold shit lol. Purposely giving false information that's horrible
But were you eating .7g protein of your bodyweight? Were you in a calorie surplus?
I love this channel. I wish you could be my personal trainer in person.
This channel helps remind me to forget the fluff and stay focused on the basics that actually matter
The pump (and ecspecially peak contractions) are an amazing stimuli for muscle growth 👊🏼
Bicepts and triceps together, medium weight, 20 reps back to back, 3 sets!! Arms get pumped!!!
prolly the best fitness influencer out there
Cant believe how high quality are your videos now ! nice job Peter !

Great advice on warming up for skull crushers. I always have elbow pain which is why they aren’t a staple but I’ll give that a try
What helped me was doing cable/band pushdowns before extensions like skull crushers and overhead extensions.
Hope i could help💪

How about the brachialis muscle, should i do an exercise like hammer curls in my arm day?
You forgot a phenomenal tricep exercise - good ol' bench press.
And a phenomenal bicep exercise - lat pulldown
Man your black n white videos make you look like “The Punisher”… I don’t know, just speaking my mind
Hot stuff!

How did you get huge working out at home?

incredible video. its no wonder your arms are spectacular
