yea, bt you challenges like what you eat. as a student, you cannot do without eba, rice, spaghetti and junks which is a minus to your effort.

When eating these things becomes inevitable then you have to cut low to the bearest minimum

The secret to bigger arms.

Often times when guys hit the gym trying to get bigger arms they forget that there are two major muscles in the arms- biceps and triceps. We tend to focus on mainly the biceps doing only barbel and dumbbell curls and tend to exercise the triceps only when doing bench presses. Of the two muscles that make up the arms the tricep makes up most of the muscular mass so building the triceps gives bigger arms.

How to get bigger arms -

Use dumbells- using dumbbells help to isolate each arm as each do their own work

Train the triceps a lot - as the triceps make up most of the muscular mass bigger triceps gives bigger hands

Train to failure- this means when training, while doing reps do till when you hit that point when you use your last muscular strength, this activate muscle tearing which leads to muscle growth

Eat the right diet- this cant be over stressed you diet can determine how your muscles and your physique looks.

Below are a few tricep isolation exercises.

Re: A Thread For Physical Fitness and BodyBuilders On Nairaland by Millex(m): 5:44am On Nov 13, 2016
Another thing that can help in building a more rounded physique Is balanced and dedicated exercise routine. When body building you have to enter the gym with a mindset of which muscle parts am I training today. Here's a routine I followed, note when working out try to go for failure, at least 45 minutes of intensive workouts on a particular body part. But abs must be trained daily....

Monday : International chest day - bench presses incline, dumbbell bench press, cable fly', dumbbell flies hit the all the chest muscle . Pectorialis major, minor etc

Tuesday: shoulders- work at hitting the three shoulder muscles, millitary dumbbell presses, etc

Wednesday: back - hit the back muscles, try barbell rows, dumbbell rows, deadlifts, stiff leg dead lifts, shrugs, hit all back muscles from trapezious, to lats to lower back muscles

Thursday : arms hit both biceps and triceps, dumbbell curls, barbell curls, spider curls, preacher curls, triceps extension etc

Friday : leg day- squats, quads exercises, leg extensions both front and back

Saturday : focus on major an workout the high intensity ones to help your daily ab workouts

Sunday: go to church and rest nd cheat your diet..,, Lol you deserved it but don't over cheat.

Majorly in muscle building you have to have an idea of all your muscles not just chest and arms .,, then figure out which workouts can help hit each for better definition

I enrolled for an online class for lectures on weight lifting. Very expensive tho. But if you need a cheap E-book that contains

1) Type of food to eat

2) Gym calendar or time table

3) Different types of exercises to build a particular part of your body...

Holla at me, I can order for you and send to you

Super cheap.!!

Nice thread! I do not see any gym centre within my locality though while in Abuja I gym to the extent that I noticed a huge change in my body and people often tell me about the physical changes... Though back to normal now, I want to continue with body building. How much will the weight and the small crawling weight cost? I'm presently in Ibadan...

Train Differently !!!

Hi guys,

Change happens when you introduce change, before that nothing has a reason to change. Doesn’t that make total sense? If you’re earning the same every year and spending the same, you get the same results every year. This is the simple logic I use to explain how the body works in and out of the gym. You read my daily newsletter to learn how to get change, so here it is.



Your workouts need to resemble a new challenge for your body, a challenge it hasn’t had to go through before. Then you’ll get change because it has to alter quickly to cope. The body is just a system which understands stress, if you turn that stress up you will make it change. So how can keep doing this with your workouts? This is how…



Change Your Exercises



Everyone has their favourite exercises which they know they are good at, so they enjoy them. But to really see change you have to “change things up” which is especially true when it comes to choosing your exercises. If you’re doing your favourite exercises all of the time you’ll just get the result you’ve always had.



A really easy way to change this is to pick an exercise like squats and then do 4 different variation of it over the month. The first week might be back squats, the next week might be box squats, then front squats and to finish you might do wide stance squats. Right there you’ve made your muscles work in 4 completely different ways.



Change Your Reps



Don’t just stick with the same numbers otherwise you will get really stale in the gym. Change it up, do some lower reps to get stronger and then go all out with some higher rep finishers. Other workouts you can start with higher reps then challenge yourself to do lower rep stuff once you’re already fatigued. Don’t let your body get used to the flow of things.



Change Your Split



Stop following the same sequence if you want different results. If you train chest every Monday and back every Tuesday, things get a bit too familiar. Change things up, move from training 4 days a week to 6, then go back to a different split to 4 days a week to change the pace and watch your body change as it tries to keep up!
