If most gym-going guys could ask one question, it would probably be something to do with learning how to get bigger arms.
After all, having a massive pair of bulging biceps is the pinnacle of fitness aesthetics for any man who takes his physique seriously.
But the constant confusion surrounding fitness often leads many fitness enthusiasts down a merry path of frustration.
For instance, despite the stellar results achieved in bodybuilding's so-called golden era of the 1970's, you are now led to believe that you cannot achieve a great body without the use of various bodybuilding supplements, pills and potions along the way - all of which cost more than your weekly shopping budget!
Then you'll have the uneducated gym members who happen to have trained for longer than you, suddenly wanting to give you unsolicited advice on what you should be doing, most of which directly contradicts what everybody else is saying. And finally you have those who claim that you need outside interference - i.e. the use of anabolic steroids.
Here's the news you have been waiting for - all of that is pure garbage.
Despite the confusion and contradicting advice which causes such problems, there is rock hard scientifically proven data out there showing how to do this. It's just that most people are unable to find it, buried deep beneath a sea of misinformation.
Today you're going to see for yourself.
In 2011, a research team from Norway looked into the myth that training your legs creates a huge testosterone spike which can yield great full body results for new lean muscle growth. If you've trained for a while, you have probably heard this myth countless times.
Training your legs is a certain way to spark upper body growth, according to many gym goers..
Well, the researchers concluded that the growth hormone spike produced by a lower body workout was not sufficient to create full body results, laying to rest this theory. However, they inadvertently stumbled across another technique which can yield fantastic results.
You see, the hormone spike was short-lived, but it definitely did exist. So the researchers played with the idea of training a smaller muscle group straight after their leg workout to see if it returned improved results. It did.
With optimal enzymes and hormones released for a period of 45 minutes, this was ample time to hit a small muscle group and monitor the results.
So the researchers had a group of subjects train their left arm on it's own for 11 weeks, while training their right arm after a leg workout. What they discovered was very interesting...
Not only did the subjects pack on more lean muscle to their right arm due to the leg workout they did previously, they also increased their one rep max lift!
So while training your legs is not 100% necessary to building bigger arms, it certainly helps! The trick is to utilize that spike in testosterone and growth hormone to your own advantage. The scientists concluded that any minor muscle group could be used in place of biceps, too.
