  • Bigger Arms! Hey lifting fans. I'm Kurt Bradley, competitive natural

  • bodybuilder and personal trainer. I'm here today to talk to you about

  • getting bigger arms. I'm not just talking about any kind of bigger arms.

  • I'm talking about superhero shirt stretching kind of bigger arms. Arms have

  • got to be one of my favorite body parts to train, hands down. I think I get

  • more compliments from arms than anything else. They're the body part that

  • girls like touching more than anything else. So listen to me now as I share

  • with you seven tips for getting bigger arms.

  • Bigger arms training tip number one, give arms their own day. Giving arms

  • their own day allows you to train arms when your focus is at its highest.

  • Your arms are fresh. Resulting in most likely maximum strength and size

  • gains. So definitely give arms their own day and bigger arms are coming.

  • Bigger arms training tip number two: Always train with a thick bar.

  • Training with a thick bar is one of the best ways to develop maximum arm

  • size and strength. Training with a thick bar is like training with a

  • regular bar, only it's two to three times its size. This thick bar is a

  • beast. Thick bars are two to three times the size of a normal bar. Most

  • gyms don't have them and they're also very expensive. This guy here costs

  • about 800 bucks. If you don't have one that's not a problem. You can just

  • put a pair of Fat Gripz on anything. You can put Fat Gripz on barbells,

  • dumbbells, chin ups, do it for lat pull downs and at a fraction of the

  • cost. Turn anything into a thick bar, Fat Gripz.

  • Bigger arms training tip number three: Train your damn forearms! I can't

  • count the times that I've seen guys with big bis, big tris, with skinny

  • little forearms. It makes the whole arm looks small. What's the best way to

  • train forearms you ask? Use a thick bar. You don't have a thick bar; get

  • yourself a pair of Fat Gripz now!

  • Bigger arms training tip number four: Train to maximize pump and blood

  • flow. See blood carries with it valuable nutrients which will help with

  • your arms size and strength gains. Training to maximize pump and blood flow

  • will also help stretch the muscle fascia. The fascia is a tight sheath like

  • substance that surrounds the muscle tissue. So keep your reps at an eight

  • to fifteen rep range, keep your rest times low, and watch your arms grow.

  • Bigger arms training tip number five: Get Leaner! Every time you can see

  • the muscle definition and those veins underneath the arms. You look so much

  • bigger! So my advice is skip that dessert, get on a StairMaster, and start

  • getting leaner now! Bam!

  • Bigger arms training tip number six: Pick one body part and make that your

  • focus. Listen, if you're trying to smash every body part every single

  • workout. Your strength and size gains are going to be slow at best. Pick

  • one body part and make that your focus for the next two to three months. In

  • this case: Arms. So if you're going to train arms at about 100%. All the

  • other body parts you need to train maybe about 85% to 90% for the next two

  • to three months. Don't worry. Your body will shrink but if you take this

  • approach, your arms will definitely grow.

  • Bigger arms training tip number seven: Use a variety of exercises. Listen

  • man, there's so many damn exercises to choose from you don't have to do

  • bicep curls and tricep pressdowns every workout. There are so many

  • exercises for you to throw into your arsenal. Here's a list of a few of

  • them: Standing dumbbell curls, standing hammer curls, dual dumbbell curls,

  • concentration curls, preacher bench stock curls, reverse barbell curls,

  • cable curls, dual decline curls, killer 21's (seven bottom, seven top,

  • seven full), tricep pressdowns, single arm pressdown, tricep kickbacks,

  • tricep rope pressdown (these are killer), skullcrushers (chains optional),

  • triceps overhead extension, bench dips, dumbbell skull crushers.

  • In conclusion, I've given you seven tips for bigger arms. One, always give

  • arms their own day. Two, always train with a thick bar. You don't have a

  • thick bar; get some Fat Gripz. Three, train your forearms. Four, train to

  • maximize pump and blood flow to the muscle tissue. Five, Get leaner. Six,

  • focus on one body part at a time. In this case: Arms. Seven, use a variety

  • of exercises. Hey until next time, train hard. I'll see you in the gym.
