Build Bigger Biceps in Just Six Weeks

Most fitness-minded individuals will set goals for themselves at the beginning weeks of the new year. Many even set standards for particular muscle groups that need improvement. The truth is, we all want results and quickly. The main focus of this article is to kickstart your training on one of the most highly revered muscle groups – the biceps!

Bigger Biceps For Size & Strength

Your biceps might not be the strongest muscle in your body, and they’re certainly not the largest.  However, large, bulging biceps, complete with road map vascularity are an indicator of overall strength, more so than any other muscle group.

THOSE WITH LARGE BICEPS WILL ALSO GENERALLY HAVE LARGE SHOULDERS, RESULTING AN AN IDEAL TOP HALF OF THE COVETED X SHAPE.

When it comes to building mass, you need to lift heavy weights, this is a training concept that remains constant when building muscle for any part of your body. While this workout routine doesn’t necessarily focus on strength – it favors size – a noticeable gain in strength will be inevitable. The following training program is designed to add extra inches in a matter of six weeks.

Biceps Training Routine

This routine is a 2 day a week split. Because the biceps are a smaller muscle group, they tend to recover faster, thus, so long as you have at least 2 days to recover between workouts, you should be able to train biceps twice per week. This split is a nice way to break up your normal routine. s/w = Super Set with
