How to get Biceps??

[maxi007]

Hello , i am 6ft my body is average but my hands are thin . how to get proper biceps?

eating much results increase in stomach size but nothing help for hands

please suggest any proper workout and diet for increasing bicep

Heavy Compound lifts. Eat protein, and cruciforous vegetables, and some complex carbs slightly above your calorie needs for the day.
You will get bigger, and your stomach shouldn't increase in size except for increased muscle size.

should i try any mass gainer powders?? is there helpful ? should i eat non veg much ??

How to get biceps? Be born without any defects? One already has "proper" biceps, barring any deformation or incident resulting in amputation.

Yeah, I was going to suggest that if he was born with out any biceps, he try maybe contacting some scientists. I hear they just regrew some muscle tissue on rats recently using stem cells.

Otherwise, ya know... Maybe lift some weights????

Jeeez.

Keep in mind that 2/3 of the arm is the triceps. Work those just as hard.

Lift heavy or don't bother.

Skip the extra protein. Isn't going to do anything if you're not lifting heavy anyway.

@z1ggy yeah , proper doesn't means i want heroic muscle ,i just want to increase the size .
please anyone tell the proper steps , means how many push ups .. etc
becuse i dont think only lifting will be a good suggestion

 

[maxi007]

Everybody is talking about lifting
can anyone tell how much lift ? how many times?? etc

 

[highland145]

Look up starting strength or strong lifts 5X5. There are many other programs so YMMV. Read the fat loss stickey too.

I think that lifting only is the best solution. Just do 3x10 of as many different variations of curls you can find. Preferably spend 60+ min just focusing on arms, be sure to flex in the mirror between sets, it helps promote blood flow to muscles and improve recovery.

ohk but i dont want to loose weight , i am already thin , i want to gain
are the mass gainer powders are good ??

At 60 mins for a beginning lifter that would definitely be overtraining.

However; for biceps, all the variations of curls and even bent rows would work.

Some high weight/low reps and some low weight/high reps.

That said just a proper lifting regimen should produce good biceps if one has the genetics. Along with good nutrition and proper rest.

My bicepts seem biggest when I have a few beers in me and some dude is moving in on my girl.

QFT. Beast mode.



Hey, Pantz, you forgot the excessive grunting.

 

[maxi007]

Thank You all
@blackjack i feel like bruce lee at the same time

I don't think that only exercising biceps(es) will help him much. If you really wanna start exercising work on your entire body. Muscle tissues are very dependent on each other in terms of growth, you have to train other muscles as well if you want better results on hands. Exercising only one muscle will be time consuming and ineffective.

 

[FleshLight]

Just do bro curls every day.

Yeah. Lots and lots of push ups. As many as you can manage.

Ive personally moved away from most supplemental proteins. never took mass gainers, because I would rather eat my calories than drink them and pay big money for maltodextrin (sugar)

up your calories if you want to gain weight. supplements can help, but only if your diet is on plan.

as far as big biceps, train them more often. I have had decent arms even when I trained for strength and only did arms once a week. I have since moved to 2 arm days a week with moderate weight and much more controlled movements and have seen decent gains in size and fullness.

I would do 3-4 movements 3-6 sets per movement, 18-22 sets per workout. moderate rep range around 8-10, but as high as 12, maybe 15 or so every now and again. you can drop to as low as 6. The biggest thing is to work towards the pump, don't burn them out on the high side, and don't use so much weight you are cheating a lot to get your reps.

I am a fan of the 'hanging' style curls.
spyder curls using incline bench vs preacher
incline dumbell curls
bent over concentration/isolated curls

and always include hammer and/or standing straightbar/EZ curl bars.

here's my "pro" tip. lean foward a bit on the standing curls, keeping the movement of the bar more straight up and down rather than through an arc. I find this keeps more tension on the biceps vs going through an arc. in an arcing movement as you get towards the upper 1/3 the lift, the lift gets easier (less stress on the biceps) and actually at the top of the movement there is little to no stress on the muscles.


ALL THAT SAID... your genetics will need to be there to grow big biceps. I have decent biceps, but as stated, to have big arms, you need big triceps. fortunately for me, my genetics include decent tris... one of my most dominant body parts. I have seen people with bigger biceps than me, but to have that good thick look, you need to have tris

18.5" @ ~210 lbs

4 months or so later
19.25" @ just under 200 lbs

After these tip i should join a gym , as there are not sufficient gym products in my home rather than dumbell, bar
