Tip: Don’t overtrain biceps and triceps

Most guys trying to bulk up focus very much on their arms. Who doesn’t want a set of rock hard, bulging biceps and triceps?

A common mistake made by skinny guys is spending hours doing every bicep and tricep exercise they can, set-after-set, week upon week. And what is the result? The same skinny arms.
The surprising thing is that for maximum muscle growth and strength, the biceps and triceps need very little direct stimulation.

The majority of training should be focused on large muscle groups – chest, back, shoulders, and legs. Stop worrying so much about your arms and focus on these other areas instead, and building muscle in your arms will actually become easier.

This doesn’t mean ignore your arms completely, but realize that less is frequently more, when training small muscle groups – like your biceps and triceps.
