Finding an answer to the simple questions in the fitness industry can sometimes prove very difficult. For instance, ask somebody how to build bigger arms and you'll be met with various contradicting answers to a question which seems, on the outset, so easy to answer.
There are various techniques which you will already see guys using to enhance arm growth, including...
1. Using a varied rep range on a weekly basis.
2. Avoiding adaptation to exercises by looking up new versions of the old classics.
3. Constantly increasing weight.
And while all three of these methods are definite ways to improve results, still there is a huge problem here. For most men simply cannot experience the type of muscle growth in their arms that they so badly desire.
The frustration from working yourself into the ground for little or no return is very understandable.
If this is a story all to familiar for you, you're in luck.
In a 2011 study published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, a team of scientists experimented to see whether the growth hormone spike created from hitting a large muscle group could be used to improve results in a small muscle group were it to be trained immediately after.
In order to test this theory properly, the researchers used only one group of test subjects and instructed them to train their right biceps after a lower body training session. The study lasted eleven weeks in total, giving a thorough overview of the effects it had. During that time, they also trained their left arm without a prior leg workout so that the researchers could see the difference between the two.
You will often hear quotes from trainers saying that you should train your lower body to grow your upper body, but until this 2011 study it was merely an assumption that the growth hormone spike would carry over.
But what the team found was quite startling.
The team discovered that the subjects were able to build more lean muscle when working their arms after they had trained their legs. While it was always a theory, this was the first concrete evidence to confirm it.
They also ended another gym myth. The spike in testosterone does exist, yes, but it is far too short to carry over and have the full body effects that many trainers tell you about. In fact, the only way to get a smaller muscle group to benefit from the spike is to hit it within 45 minutes of the end of your leg workout.
Not only did the group build more lean muscle, they increased their one rep max lift on biceps cable curl!
The problem for many is that there is so much conflicting advice and opinions on fitness, causing things to become too confusing and making any plan hard to stick to for long enough to see any results. So having real, proven scientific evidence to support your training makes a huge difference psychologically. Simply put, you know it's effective! Try today's tip in your workouts and see it for yourself.
