You Can't Build A House With No Bricks Imagine you're building your dream house. You've worked with an architect to design it just how you want it, you've bought the perfect lot next to the water, and you've contracted the best workers to build it for you. But on day one, the workers show up and there's no material to build with. All the planning in the world won't allow you to build a house out of nothing. Your body is just the same. All the working out in the world, even if they're the best workouts, won't allow your body to build bigger muscles if you don't give it material to build with. Building a body you're proud of requires the right foods, and the right amount of them.…

Beer and Bigger Arms When I was a personal trainer right out of college I was in need of a bit of extra cash (thank you student loans), so I got a job at a bar on nights and weekends. The bar served only beer and I had to go through their beer school before I could start. The manager tried to cram the entire history of beer and every little detail about it in our minds in just two weeks. We learned the difference between an ale and a lager, the difference between roasted and smoked hops, differences in European and American beers (ours have more alcohol and more flavor), and about the popular American breweries. But the best part was, of course, tasting the beer. When we tasted…

Why Is Knowing Anatomy Important? Criminal Minds is my wife's favorite show (therefore, it is my favorite show...or at least my most watched show). In each episode they spend most of the time figuring out why the killer does what he does. Why does he kill them this way? Why did he choose that victim? The more they know about him, the more power they have over him, like identifying who is, or where he'll strike next. The same approach is helpful in working out. If you know about a muscle's makeup and function, you'll have more power over it. You'll be able to make it stronger and grow, by exercising it properly.   Biceps Brachii The biceps' scientific name is biceps brachii. It has two heads, two functions, and…

The Ultimate Guide To Building Bigger Biceps

All, Biceps
How Do I Get Bigger Biceps? When I was elementary school we had two PE teachers. Coach Pastal was a nice (but firm), older man who had been at the school forever.

Fast forward 20 years later, having spent a good amount of the past 10 years in a gym and talking with dudes who know how to get bigger arms, I…
