I want BICEPS!

Plates559

While I agree training legs won't cause a HUGE difference in upper body hypertrophy, neglecting legs sure won't help at all. Seeing as the OP stated that she wasn't even sure if she spelled bicep right, let alone didn't know how to train said muscle, I don't think she is an advanced lifter, making squats extremely beneficial to her (not to mention any other big lift).

A very true point, however if someone says 'I want biceps' saying 'then squat' is tremendously misleading. That's like answering 'I want to get an A on my math test' with 'eat your vegetables'.

I could agree. I guess what I was trying to say was

"I want an A on my math test"
"learn how to study for a broad array of subjects, and you better be squatting!" :laugh:

Patience, keep working. Change it up. curls for arm biceps. pyramid sets, different types of curls, concentration curls, hammer curls, triple curls, seated curls, dumbbell curls, easy bar curls, etc. But always keep in mind you want overall balance in your body. You don't want to focus on one muscle group at without others, but if you need to work on one area to create balance that is okay.

Um, yeah, did you SEE the body of the woman who wrote this ^^^ :smokin: ....I'd listen to her.

Also if you want your biceps to grow start squatting more.

:huh:

You must be new to heavy weight training. Squatting stimulates testosterone production which makes muscle building easier.

I'm not new to heavy weight training (and neither is Yanika) and this is something I've never heard before.

I'm surprised that such seasoned weight lifters don't know the effects that weight training has on testosterone and hgh levels. Weight training increase natural test and hgh levels. The larger the muscle group trained, the greater the increase. Raising the levels of both would naturally increase ones ability to build muscle in other areas.

LOL. you must be new to broscience. This has been shown to be irrelevant, at work at the moment will update with the relevant study later.

EDIT

Damn sidesteel got there first.
