Arms Like A Legend

Always wanted arms like the best?

Take this routine for a spin to get arm size like the legends themselves.

Why This Routine Works

The exercises in this routine are designed to attack your muscles from all angles, helping you build shape followed by size.

This routine will last for around 6 - 8 weeks depending on your intensity you put into your workouts, how you train and split your arm workouts, and the results that you are getting from your efforts.

It is important that with each week that you try to increase the weight that is being performed by 10 - 15% so that you are tearing muscle fibers for growth. At the end of the 6 - 8 weeks, you will want to be performing 10 reps at around 50-60% of your starting 1RM.

Use of super-sets allows for a continuous workout.

Without an increase in weight, you are only strength and definition training rather than lifting for size and mass.

Forearms are just as important to train as your biceps and triceps, that is why there are extra sets performed for the forearm muscles. The forearms are the roadways to the main arm muscles so don't forget them
