Just as with abs, bar work is your best friend when it comes to arms,
particularly biceps, which get a better workout from chin-ups than from all the
curls in the world. Because you're pulling far more weight than you would
typically curl, the gains are astronomical, and the choices are infinite.
Do them all—overhand pull-ups and underhand chins, wide-grip and narrow,
thick bar, switch grip, and hanging from irregular objects—and you'll create
amazing tensile strength and powerful connective tissue. Combine the grip
training you get from bar work with advanced push-up variations—fingertips,
knuckles, back-of-hands—for forearms that would make Popeye jealous.
It can take any number of machine-based isolation-style exercises to hit the
arms (and chest and shoulders) from as many angles as good old-fashioned dips.
Performed deep, with full range of motion, the results are undeniable. Try as
many different hand widths as possible for maximum results. They can also be
done on a bench or straight bar. Have some fun!
