If there is one body part every guy wants to improve it’s his arms. Of course the ways the “pro’s” teach how to get bigger arms are ineffective, otherwise you would’nt be reading yet another article about it because you would already know how.

The bottom line with any type of muscle building is the routines pro body builder use simply are not effective for regular guys. In this breif list we will talk about how to get bigger arms for real men who don’t use steroids…

• The biggest mistake keeping regular guys from getting bigger arms is annihilating their muscles with too many exercises. This is too much volume, especially if you work chest and back the same day you train arms! Over training will slow your gains like nothing else, so get that more is better mentality out of your head. I have found 4-6 sets to be optimal for stimulating muscle growth in the muscles of the upper arm. I hate to break it to you but I’m talking 4-to-6 sets in an entire workout, not per exercise.   Think about it, your small arm muscles are getting a thrashing from your chest and back movements already! In these cases very little direct stimulation is needed. remember the old saying still holds true, stimulate dont annihilate…

• I know for many its a bummer that you have to back off the arm exercises but there is an upside; when you work your bi’s and tri’s with less colume per workout you get to work your arms a lot more often! I suggest hitting your arms two to three days a week (depending on your workout split) to really get them growing! Unlike th cheesy muscle group splits in the glossy muscle mags usggest you will be building muscle on your arms up to twelve times a month rather than just 4. How to get bigger arms is through less volume and more frequency.

I know it seems to simple, do less more often is how to get bigger arms? Yes, it is! Give yourself 4 weeks of honest training  3 full body workouts, includiong your arms a week and see the best gains of your life!
