Do you need bulging biceps for your beach vacation in the spring? Find your nearest gym and lose the couch. Weights are part of your near future, but so is an adjustment to your diet. Combine these two and your body will look as you want. These 3 tips for bulging biceps will get you the results you desire.
One of the first tips is you must take care of your diet. Muscle is developed by two processes: chemistry and exercise. The foods you eat is the chemistry part. Muscle is composed mostly of proteins, so focus your eating on that. No, you do not need massive amounts nor diet supplements to help you get those biceps bulging. But you must drop the tortilla chips, the fat covered potato or the massive beer intake that adds lots of calories and no nutrition.
The second consideration is when the protein is breaking down in your system and developing into muscle, or alternatively, being stored elsewhere as fat, matters a good bit. Eat about six ounces of protein two to three hours prior to your work out. This protein will be in process in your body when your biceps are getting their work out, naturally screaming for that protein like your throat aches for water in the dessert. You do not need more than about six ounces of lean protein, with no other fat or filler, or French fries or fatty deposits that will mess up your goal. You can eat other normally healthy foods at other times during the day, but after six ounces of protein at one time, you won’t want much else. Just don’t mess up the good work you did with the chips and beer while you watch Monday Night Football later.
Lastly, what you do in the gym matters. You only need two to three workouts per week of each of the following exercises. Complete three sets of six to eight reps each.
Start with an alternate dumbbell curl. Get one dumbbell in each hand. Curl one, then do the other. Do not curl both at the same time. You must maintain proper form the entire time. Swinging your arms or leaning your back may lead to injury.
Next do a two arm, barbell curl. Use one bar and two hands. Lift the weight slowly and carefully to the chin, make sure to keep the back straight and still. When lifting weights, cheaters may look good in the gym, but the true growth comes when performing the lift correctly.
Incline bench curl: do this dumbbell style. Lay your arm across a flat surface that is sloped downward. Keeping your tricep flat against the bench, slowly raise the weight. You will probably only find this machine in a gym, so that means a membership if you want to accomplish this task.
You should feel immediate benefit about 20 to 30 hours after your first set of workouts. Your muscles will feel sore and stiff. When you feel this, you know it’s working. Give your muscles at least one day’s rest between workouts. Your muscles must recover from the work you did, so they are ready for the next workout. You will need to increase the weight slightly about every four workouts. Keep going up because the increased weight will determine the increased size in your biceps you seek. And isn’t that what we are all looking for, so that when you point down the beach, they see your arms, not the direction you are pointing? Follow these 3 tips for bulging biceps and you will see results, not only in your arms, but also in the other, important areas of your life.
