Back to previous article "Training
the Arms Muscle" ...
But
developing top quality arms muscle for competitions is more than just a matter
of size. They need to look good in a lot of poses and from a number of
different angles. This means that every part of the arm muscles, every
contour and angle, must be fully brought out. This takes a lot of
thought and planning. You don't develop championship level arms simply
by throwing around a heavy barbell doing barbell curls and blasting out some
reps for triceps muscle.
For a front
double-biceps pose, for example, you need high peaked biceps muscle, triceps
muscle
that hang impressively below the arm, and a well-defined separation
between biceps and triceps muscle. For the same pose from the back, you need
forearm development at the elbow, good development of the outside head
of the biceps, and a clear, visible tie-in between the deltoid and the
muscles of the upper arm.
Along with
biceps and triceps development, you need to build and shape your
forearms muscle so that they are in proportion to the muscles of the upper arm.
These various aspects of developing do not come about by accident. You
need to work at it, which means breaking the muscles of the arms down
into separate categories and making sure that each gets its share of
hard training.
