risingdragon Posted February 14, 2004 Posted February 14, 2004 can anyone by any chance give me some good workouts for me to better build my biceps and chests Whatever happens happens
granmasterchen Posted February 14, 2004 Posted February 14, 2004 curls, pushups, pull ups, dips, bench press, and similar activities That which does not destroy me will only make me stronger
TheDevilAside Posted February 14, 2004 Posted February 14, 2004 an excellent work out for your chest is dumbbell fly's. "If you're going through hell, keep going." - Sir Winston Churchill
Bloodloss Posted February 14, 2004 Posted February 14, 2004 Push ups, shadow boxing (Although I think that is more to do with endurace) and I think sit ups might help your chest. Only in sadness can you find happiness. Only in death will you find life.
WolverineGuy Posted February 14, 2004 Posted February 14, 2004 https://www.exrx.net The best kind of mass building exercises utilize compound movments; meaning that they target more than one muscle movement. For arms, close grip chinups, close grip bench presses. For chest, bench presses and pec dips. Overall these are really the only exercises you need: Chest: Parallel bar dips Bench Press Incline Press Legs: Squats (including front squats) Stiff-Legged deadlifts Calf-raises Back: Bent-over rows Chins Bent-legged Deadlifts (also a leg exercise) Delts: Military press Lateral raises Arms: Close-grip bench press Close-grip chins Everything else after that will help with definition, and perhaps getting over plateus. But these should be the core of your program. Wolverine1st Dan - Kalkinodo"Shut up brain, or I'll stab you with a q-tip""There is no spoon."
Rich67 Posted February 15, 2004 Posted February 15, 2004 That's some good advice. Also remember this: The bicep is actually a pretty small muscle in your arm. The bulk of your arm (that which gives it size) is the triceps. Don't neglect those. I don't know what you're looking for though...I think you just want to have good looking arms and a rugged chest...to turn the ladies' heads? Nothing wrong with that, but make sure you balance yourself out and do the workouts like Wolverine posted. The common mistake many people do is "target" a specific area. They figure that they'll look good in a tight shirt just by doing curls and bench presses all day long. The fact of the matter is, they'll look ridiculously imbalanced (small triceps and still skinny arms when relaxed- and a flat back with large pecs..almost like a woman's fgure).When you work your chest, you also have to work the back to add thickness there. When you work the biceps, you also have to work the triceps. If you ignore the "opposing" muscles, you'll never reach your full potential, and the look you are going for may be a little strange.

Rich_2k3 Posted February 16, 2004 Posted February 16, 2004 I agree. Only recently have a been specifically working on my triceps as well as biceps. There seems to be a myth out there that biceps are everything and that there the biggest muscle in ur arm, I dont know why. Maybe its because when someone (egotistical beefcake usually) puts there arm up to show their muscles of its the biceps that u see from the front.

WolverineGuy Posted February 16, 2004 Posted February 16, 2004 I guess I'm one of the few peole that shows off his tris. Call me silly. Wolverine1st Dan - Kalkinodo"Shut up brain, or I'll stab you with a q-tip""There is no spoon."
risingdragon Posted February 16, 2004 Author Posted February 16, 2004 i know about those things already its just that i don't have like 45 lb dumbbells to work my biceps out. plus i need more chest execrise since it can help strengthen the power of a person punch. Whatever happens happens
WolverineGuy Posted February 16, 2004 Posted February 16, 2004 Chest exercises don't make you punch better, punching makes you punch better. You need plyometrics! Wolverine1st Dan - Kalkinodo"Shut up brain, or I'll stab you with a q-tip""There is no spoon."
