If you're a guy who is regularly hitting the gym then chances are you'd like to know how to get bigger arms.
Such is this age old obsession with building superhuman arms, many guys resort to taking illegal substances and analyzing every possible trick in the book to pack on more size.
But despite their enthusiasm for results, many people never get near their dream due to the colossal amount of misinformation and "broscience" which exists in gyms around the world.
For instance, despite the stellar results achieved in bodybuilding's so-called golden era of the 1970's, you are now led to believe that you cannot achieve a great body without the use of various bodybuilding supplements, pills and potions along the way - all of which cost more than your weekly shopping budget!
Then you'll have the uneducated gym members who happen to have trained for longer than you, suddenly wanting to give you unsolicited advice on what you should be doing, most of which directly contradicts what everybody else is saying. And finally you have those who claim that you need outside interference - i.e. the use of anabolic steroids.
Here's the news you have been waiting for - all of that is pure garbage.
The fact is building bigger biceps has many men confused when there is some seriously fascinating hard scientific evidence out there showing proven methods to get results in as little as two months, it's just that many people are swamped by hype and sales pitches that they can't dig deep enough to find real facts.
So today you are going to see one of these scientifically backed techniques.
Thanks to a 2011 study from Norway, the theory that training your legs will create a bigger, more muscular upper body is no longer simply a theory. A team of top researchers studied the effects of lower body training for almost three months before reaching their conclusion.
Training your legs is a certain way to spark upper body growth, according to many gym goers..
Well, the researchers concluded that the growth hormone spike produced by a lower body workout was not sufficient to create full body results, laying to rest this theory. However, they inadvertently stumbled across another technique which can yield fantastic results.
You see, the hormone spike was short-lived, but it definitely did exist. So the researchers played with the idea of training a smaller muscle group straight after their leg workout to see if it returned improved results. It did.
That's because testosterone and GH levels are temporarily raised for around 30-45 minutes, and any minor muscle group which is trained within this time can claim the full benefits of the environment you have created.
So for three months, the team had their subjects train their right arm following a leg session while training their left arm without a leg session. They discovered that their theories were indeed correct.
Following the completion of the eleven week course, the right arm of the subjects had packed on significantly more muscle mass.
So while training your legs is not 100% necessary to building bigger arms, it certainly helps! The trick is to utilize that spike in testosterone and growth hormone to your own advantage. The scientists concluded that any minor muscle group could be used in place of biceps, too.
