  • If you have skinny biceps that you want to make wider, then you are going to want to watch this video. Here, I’m going to show you the best way to widen your biceps and get bigger, thicker arms in the process. Many times people focus on the height of their arms by working on building up the bicep peaks. While this is an approach that is sound it is not the only one. Incorporating brachialis work into your arm workouts is something you do not want to forget to do.

    The brachialis muscle is situated beneath the biceps and is slightly visible if you flex the arm and palpate on the outside of it. Just underneath your long head of the biceps is a muscle that might be popping out a bit that is located between the biceps and triceps. This is the brachialis. The function of this muscle is to flex the arm.
    Unlike the biceps however, this is its only job. The biceps on the other hand will supinate the forearm and flex the humerus at the shoulder while still helping to flex the elbow. The main difference however is that due to the fact that a muscle is strongest in its midrange, the brachialis is going to be more strongly contributing to elbow flexion in the beginning third to half of an elbow bend and the biceps will kick in more strongly from the midpoint up.
    Since the two muscles share a common function it is impossible to get one to be removed completely from the action of flexing the arm. That said, there are things you can do to favor the action of the brachialis by slightly defavoring the contribution of the biceps by impairing its preferred action. This can be achieved by pronating the forearm primarily.
    You have probably heard that the hammer curl is a great exercise for building up the brachialis and thickening the muscle beneath the biceps to help push it outward and give you thicker looking arms. That is correct, however many times people don’t perform the exercise properly and don’t see the results they should from doing it. The key is the positioning of the forearm and elbow during the movement. Instead of just keeping your hand in neutral with your knuckles pointed straight ahead, fold the arm against the chest and pronate the forearm. From here, simply flex and extend the elbow to lift and lower the dumbbell. This will really ignite the brachialis while minimizing the contribution of the biceps to the movement.
    There are other exercises you can do that will accomplish this as well. One of them is a modification on the greatest upper body builder there is, the pullup. Rather than doing chinups which have a high contribution of biceps because of the supinated forearm required to do the exercise, you would want to do a pullup. But not just any pullup. Instead, take a very close grip on the bar and aim to close down the angle of the elbow joint as you pull rather than worrying about getting your elbows behind your body.
    This movement can be done from a inverted row position as well if it is too difficult to do while hanging from a bar. Either one is going to light up the brachialis and have you filling up those shirt sleeves in no time.

      john cena a good option is to go heavy yet light on thos excerce. I would recomend doing a set with light weight of 20 reps. Then put double the weight or at least 1/3 of the first set higher and go for 10 reps. Do one more set again with the same reps and weight and then on your forth set you wonna take it back to your first set as a matter of weight and do 15 reps as a burnout set

      Jeff's said in other videos that "fasted state cardio" isn't necessary and the time of day is largely meaningless. You generally have more energy earlier but conversely you work your body a smidge harder in the evening because the natural fatigue of the day has settled in on top of the exercise stimulus. Personally, i dont think it matters when you work out as long as you put in maximum effort to every rep and keep consistent week in and out. I train in the morning, at night, and every time in between depending on my schedule. But really, exercise timing is one of the lowest priorities to get results after nutrition, form, effort, consistency, sleep, hydration, supplementation....*rambles off into eternity*

    Can you do a video about diet and exercise for those in college where nearly everyday and for sure every quarter our schedules change. For me the hardest part is eating right.

      College is the perfect situation for intermittent fasting in my opinion, I'm not saying its the best dieting pattern you can follow, but it is basically already what you are doing with the course load you have, especially if your college has a buffet-style meal ticket program. Also, just rest during finals week, the stress on your brain is more than just mentally, it will be physically taxing and this would be a good time for your body to re-comp anyways if you've done a semester full of hard work at the gym. This is all based on my experience though, where I always just have morning through afternoon classes i.e. 7-1 and occasional labs in the night time.

      You can skip breakfast and lunch...but like you said, just keep snacking...as long as it is a healthy snack...like say a tuna with some low fat mayo and siracha hot sauce on a whole wheat bread....that 's a good snack, follow that up may be with some left over chicken wraps on a whole wheat tortilla, drink water ...you don't have to sit down and have a good meal...I used to snack while walking to class. All nighters on finals are ok, again only eat when your body usually gets used to being fed...don't gobble food at 2 am..coffee is fine. Also, sleep helps growth. So all nighters during finals is ok but all nighters pulling in clubs, grinding up against hoes ain't so!

    • @stevensimpson9024
      @stevensimpson9024 Před 6 lety

      Wrist curls (in front or behind the back), reverse wrist curls, and reverse curls. That's probably about all you're going to find as far as exercises that target them directly or fairly directly (in the case of reverse curls). High rep ranges (12 to 15) typically work better, since the forearms have a high proportion of slow-twitch muscle fibers. I went from having toothpick forearms to having pretty thick forearms. It just takes dedication and being consistent. They're an area most people neglect when they go to the gym.

    • @WSTL1
      @WSTL1 Před 6 lety

      Steven Simpson I used to do "bad" seated bicep curls. Very heavy, elbow way in front of body, forearm at 90° straight up n down. Seemed to last, years later never done it again. Still big forearms. Also grip-close upright rows. Yep bad for shoulder impingement but just widen the grip on a cable connection. Go for pump at end of session. Pro's n con's? 👍

      Only reason why I already do these workouts is because I’ve bought a few of Jeff’s programs and they work great! I haven’t done them all together but I’d say just try to work some of these into your workout and see how many you can do, the inverted row is a killer “finisher” workout.

      John KT I switch it up all the time, but for example ill do barbell curls, laying triceps extensions, hammer curls, triceps kick back, inverted rows, triceps extensions with a plate weight. The plate helps your arms from flairing out. I change the workouts all the time because I have a Jeff’s workout plans and I’ll learn from them and do my own thing every once in a while.

    Let's face it - arm thickness is also about genetics and body fat. Those exercises will help you a bit but won't match up natural thickness that some thicker people have and others don't. There seems to be some trade off between arm thickness and muscle definition. That makes the role of fat very clear.

    The bottom line is that whenever you flex the arm with pronated forearm, the brachialis is in action. Now, try to apply this knowledge and assimilate it into your workout.

    • @rdg665
      @rdg665 Před 3 lety

      No that's wrong
      Your brachiallis is always active when you flex your elbow whether pronated or supinated
      The point is , When supinated the biceps dominate the whole movement leaving the brachiallis with little work , So doing a netural or pronated grip will effectively take the biceps out of the action just enough to allow the brachiallis to take over instead
      Also brachioradialis gets worked when pronated
