Tips for Maximum Arm Development by Bob Myhal Dear Friend & Subscriber, Blow by sticking points with Partial Reps: ------------------------------------------ Have your biceps reached a sticking point in terms of size and/or shape? Blast them into new growth by using partial repetitions. I like to use three-quarter or one-half partial range movements with biceps. With preacher curls for instance, I値l warm up by doing a couple full range sets with moderate weights. Then I値l go heavy with a partial rep focusing on only the bottom half of the movement. In other words, I値l stop halfway up, lower slowly, and repeat. After a short rest, I値l throw a few more pounds on the bar and do partial preachers using only the top half of the movement. Here I値l lower the weight only half way down, then curl the weight fully in squeezing hard at peak contraction. Try experimenting with different exercise and varying partial ranges to blast past your sticking points and shock your arms into some serious growth. Stretch your Triceps to new growth with Dumbells: -------------------------------------------------- For an excellent variation on the Lying Triceps Extension try doing them with dumbbells. The exercise is performed in a similar way to the E-Z Curl or Straightbar French Press version. Lying on a flat bench, you begin with your arms extended above you. Slowly lower both dumbbells simultaneously by bending at the elbows. Be sure to keep your upper arms perfectly straight and still. Then simply push the dumbbells up and lockout at the top, squeezing your triceps as you complete the movement. Lower slowly and repeat for 8-12 reps. Using dumbbells with this exercise from time to time will force you to maintain perfect form and really blast your triceps. And the stretch you get is absolutely intense! Train with Passion.
