tip of the day from dave palumbo - how to make your arms grow

[ratherbebig]

dave palumbo swears by training arms with cable, he even split between biceps/forearms and triceps-workout!

leave the ego at the door and start doing cable curls for arms and they will grow!! makes a lot of sense! when i think about how big my arms are gonna be, how they gonna grow from now on i get excited, thanks  dave!

i would love to hear from other getbiggers about their experience in training arms with cable.

I use cable for pushdown with the attachments.... never bother otherwise.

It's easy to train solely for feel and pump when you are loaded with drugs like he was/is. Not all of us have that luxury.

Cables are shit for arm growth,barbel curls for high reps with good weight and same for skull crushers and narrow grog benches.Ive been curling 120 for sets of 25-40 and arms are exploding.Arms are 21.5" at 235 trust me when I say they work.if you have been doing low reps or medium reps your whole life switch it up to 25 plus and you will be amazed and the pumps are crazy.

If I remember your arms looked syntholed, and you looked about 200lbs unless you are well over 6'. Got any recent pics?

Thoughts on against-the-knee concentration curls?

[myosaurus]

he said sets of 25-40 reps.

never do them, only do standing cables in the crossover set up and preacher curls on a machine.

I just do exercises that I feel the best,

40 seems too many, I do go up to around 30 though, I do a lot of partials as well.

[ratherbebig]

i only do those that feel comfortable and isnt too much of a hassle
i like the bars that you can pick without having to put weight on.

Cool. I can't do standing bicep cable stuff because the weight pulling m down/forward throws my back out. And my arms are too long to use preacher curl machines. I do conc. curl and lots of hammer curls seated.

palumbo says cable curls work especially good for people with long arms you need to listen to that man !!! plus i think they put constant pressure on your biceps more than other exercises would.

Im the same, a guy I know lies flat on the floor with his feet at the base of the cable machine and curls like that, takes the stress off his low back...

Overhead cable presses is one of the best movement to make your arms bigger it does not stress the elbow like skullcrushers and it targets the triceps long head which you need to work to make arms bigger.

they seem uncomfortable and takes a while to get into position

the tricep straightens your arm, straighten your arm with a weight attached and you will develop your triceps, there are no exercises better than others, do the exercises you like as long as you can feel the muscle working

Use a rope that will put your arms in a more natural position.

so, does dave ever catch people staring at his sideburns whenever he tries to give them advice in real life?
