What is the best way to increase the size of your biceps and triceps? Im thinking of getting a tatoo on my right upper arm but I want to get them bigger than they already are.. My arms are already pretty strong but im wondering what size freeweight and how many reps I should be doing.. thanx

Is your right arm much bigger than your left?

chaos.

yes it is, wierd eh?

fast bloke

I would think it is at least twice the size


Reps build stamina - weight builds muscle - Do 1 rep at 400 KG. (i for each arm)

chaos.

OK, so what weight, how many reps, how many times a day and when do you start to see results.?

If you spend the next 10 years w4nking with your left arm they will both be the same size

use a 10kg weight for 20 reps...

but remember, dont have the tatoo until *after* uve increased arm size or the tatoo will not cover ure arm as the arm grows!

bicep curls and tricep dips the best for these

more weight less reps for big muscles i have the same problem when i lift weight i can feel the right arm doing all the work

You should always do biceps/triceps one by one, ie on their own.

The stronger arm will always help the weaker, when curling with a bar or EZ bar etc.

So do single bicep dumbell curls,and single arm preacher curls(on a machine),single arm tricep pushdowns with a rope, alternating obviously. Work these into a standard arm routine a BINGO, same size arms!

R/H tri/bicep 455mm
L/H tri/bicep 450mm

Near enough!

My left arm's smaller than my right, I've been working them both on free weights mainly for the past 5 months.

Kinda annoys me
