how do some guys you see at the gym get so big. i mean biceps so damn big. not just big bicep but jsut big. i mean workout my arms and i still dont that big. i also take protein. i work out like 3xs a wk approx for 1 hr approx and i do everything . chest, bicep , shoulders.....etc
or how do you get bigger biceps and arms. i done it all from bicep curls with the dumbell to the preacher curl.....etc
No legs and back on that body of yours?
Its simple really...you need to do the things most guys are NOT willing to do...
1. Lift heavy weights...like Ronnie says "everyone wants to be a bodybuilder, but nobody want to lift no heavy ass weights!" Heavy weight means double body weight bench press, squats, dead lifts for reps! Are you benching 405? are you squatting 495lbs? are dead lifting 495lbs...all for reps...if not you better get bloody busy!
2. Eat a tonne of balanced meals...eat every 2.5-3 hours...6-8 balanced meals per day, every day, every week, every year for 5 years minimum...I know I know you a tonne and your diet is perfect....WRONG...sorry if you did eat enough youd already be big...start eating!
3. Get plenty of sleep (8 hours nightly) limiting partying, drinking, staying out late etc
4. Push beyond the pain starting line...most guys barely reach the starting line and the give up when it comes to intensity...just when the pain starts...thats the beginning...thats when you hit the red button...most guys shut it down at that point
5. When you hit the gym its all business...no chit chat bullshit with your buddies, no chatting up the ladies, no CELL phones in the gym....and if i have to even tell you that forget about ever gettin big right now!
6. Understand that getting big means sacrifice, blood, sweat, and tears....its alot of pain so dont ask for something unless you really really want it.

Waste of time really when you could be doing a compound exercise.
I use weighted dips as my fore arm work out and it is spectacular! I do arms at the end of my work outs so i get a good chest/back and core work out, and i don't find a 235 lb bench, 305 lb dips, 35 hand stand push ups, weighted chin ups and what ever else i get into is an arm work out so after all that i start arms, i do core in between every major lifting workout, and a set of legs in there =DQuote:

Glad you said it.
total weight, 140 + 165, if you don't believe then thats your issue, but the 10 people that almost knocked themselves out on the olypticals watching me do it on sunday morning? Priceless, i would have photos/videos but i workout alone 98% of the time, and it hard to take a photo and do a lift...
arranges in the pattern, 5, 10, 45, 45, 45, 10, 5 with the chain strung through the middle. Havving the smaller weights on the outside helps avoid chain pinch (which HURTS LIKE HELL) and i entire the dip rack on an angle cause i have short legs and its pretty wide >_<
You cant squat more than 155lbs but you can dip 165lbs? (discounting bodyweight in both exercises)
Most people I see don't do dips properly. They do half assed dips which does jack shit. Dips are my favorite tricep exercise. I work my way up to 135lbs + bw for 6. It also helped build my chest too.
That is correct, i was unfortunately born with severe arthritis, in both hips, knees, and ankles, and i get SEVERE pain with strenuous leg lifting, so i do what i can and i do cardio when i cannot. My upper body was not effected to the same extent so i push as hard as i can, for the record i hit those numbers every other day. You are welcome to come see =DQuote:

Would really like to hear if you have ever done dips with the rings and your experience regarding that.Quote:

Quite intrigued by this... I have actually requested gymnast rings at my gym, i can rotate myself upside down and do hand stand push ups on the dip rack and have had a few trainers ask if i had ever done rings... no i have not. Yes i would LOVE to try them!Quote:

Eggs, Ground Beef, Cottage Cheese, Whole Chickens, Oats, Potatoes, Nuts, Rice, Olive Oil, etc..
I realize this thread is old and stolen, but I have to ask..... how does a guy with arthritis in his hips, knees and ankles ride a bike for 50K under an hour for a warm up?

Have not been on this website in quite a while... I miss these kind of posts that give me inspiration. That's why I'm back on here, been missing motivation lately. Great post man!
