For years, men have been trying to learn the secrets of how to get bigger arms.
In fact for many men, shirt-ripping biceps and triceps are the sole reason they hit the weights room on a regular basis.
But the constant confusion surrounding fitness often leads many fitness enthusiasts down a merry path of frustration.
For instance, despite the stellar results achieved in bodybuilding's so-called golden era of the 1970's, you are now led to believe that you cannot achieve a great body without the use of various bodybuilding supplements, pills and potions along the way - all of which cost more than your weekly shopping budget!
Then you'll have the uneducated gym members who happen to have trained for longer than you, suddenly wanting to give you unsolicited advice on what you should be doing, most of which directly contradicts what everybody else is saying. And finally you have those who claim that you need outside interference - i.e. the use of anabolic steroids.
Here's the news you have been waiting for - all of that is pure garbage.
Despite the confusion and contradicting advice which causes such problems, there is rock hard scientifically proven data out there showing how to do this. It's just that most people are unable to find it, buried deep beneath a sea of misinformation.
So today you are going to see one of these scientifically backed techniques.
In 2011, a research team from Norway looked into the myth that training your legs creates a huge testosterone spike which can yield great full body results for new lean muscle growth. If you've trained for a while, you have probably heard this myth countless times.
"Train your legs to grow up top," as many avid fitness lovers will say.
Well, the researchers concluded that the growth hormone spike produced by a lower body workout was not sufficient to create full body results, laying to rest this theory. However, they inadvertently stumbled across another technique which can yield fantastic results.
Training a smaller muscle group straight after a leg workout returned great results, as it took advantage of the hormone spike which was produced.
That's because testosterone and GH levels are temporarily raised for around 30-45 minutes, and any minor muscle group which is trained within this time can claim the full benefits of the environment you have created.
To test their theory, they had a group hit their left arm alone and their right arm following a leg workout over a period of three months. The results were concrete.
Following the completion of the eleven week course, the right arm of the subjects had packed on significantly more muscle mass.
So the saying should be changed to "If you want big arms, train them after training your legs!" The researchers concluded that any small muscle group could be used in this temporarily elevated muscle building environment following a lower body workout, but the smaller the muscle, the greater the gains.
