Shoulders and arms

Bigsid777 Posts: 9 Joined: 2002/03/07	2002/04/10, 09:10 PM Hey, I have made great increases with my major muscle groups (chest,back,legs), but am having troubles with size and definition in my arms. I want that look where one can see where the shoulder stops and the bicep begins. Do you have any tips?

You can try to sign up for the special wide shoulders program which should help you out.. if you are already on there and it isn't working then you can read on abcbodybuilding.com their guide to shoulder training http://www.abcbodybuilding.com/magazine/animalshoulderfaq.htm and THEN try their shoulder blitz.. http://www.abcbodybuilding.com/magazine/8weekanimalisticshoulderblitz.htm Just watch out trying these programs because their just a load... there are other programs around.... if your not on the ft wide shoulder program (is there one or am i daydreaming?) then try that FIRST then those other ones.. that way you will stay balanced instead of having really well defined shoulders.. and 'all right' everything else..

Next, it sounds like you need to incorporate some isolation exercises. Besides working the shoulders are Fireloard suggests, you'll need to work the triceps, biceps and forearms more. For triceps, push and military presses will do the trick. These will add thickness to the rear portion of your arms. For biceps, concentration curls and hammer curls will add that peak to the front of your arms. For the forearms, try doing Thor's Hammer. You can find a description of this exercise using the search button. This exercise works the forearms as well as biceps. Doing these exercises will add that 3D look on your arms...it's that separation you were looking for. Good luck! -------------- **_Robert_**
