I think anyone who is into weight training/bodybuilding would agree that having a ripped pair of arms are a must! This being said.. a lot of people go wrong when training arms because 9/10 people blast biceps and don’t go nearly as hard when it comes to the tricep muscle. If you actually look at your arm you will realise that your tricep muscle makes up roughly 60-70% of the width of your arm. So clearly adding muscle to this area would make a lot difference when it comes to the overall size of your arms. Another big reason to train arms that alot of people don’t think about is that increasing muscle mass and strength to your arms will increase your overall strength when it comes training other muscle groups. For example when your bench pressing the primary muscle being worked is the chest but your triceps are what really help get the weight.

Here is a great workout that will work both your bicep and tricep evenly and give you a deep pump. Notice that I’ve added a drop set on your first set for every exercise. This is purely to push yourself that bit more. If the drop set is to much for you then just do 3 normal sets of 12 reps.
