How to Get Bigger Arms (IN LESS THAN 3 MINUTES!) – ATHLEAN-X™

by YouTube Team

Get Jeff Cavaliere caliber arms here (using his system!)

Want to know how to get bigger arms in under 3 minutes? Watch this video and I show you one of the most effective workout methods for getting big biceps by performing the stretch reflex the right way! The technique shown here allows you to not only get a stronger contraction of the biceps on your incline curls but also how to create more muscle damage from which you can expect to add more significant size to your arms.

During a biceps incline curl, you want to actively contract the triceps muscle so you reciprocally inhibit the biceps muscle. This allows you to enhance the degree of stretch placed on the bicep. From here you contract your biceps and complete the rep of the curl. This improved stretch will create more micro tears of the muscle fibers and also lead to a more forceful contraction.

The mistake that most people make when doing their arm workouts and exercises is overlooking these set methods. Adding even just a few of these arm building techniques will greatly improve your chances of getting big arms (both biceps and triceps) while still keeping your workouts short. This is because you are trading workout length for intensity which is almost always a surefire way to answer the how to get big biceps question.

Those wanting to know how to get bigger arms will definitely want to try using this technique in their next biceps workout. Now, we know that big arms aren’t created solely by targeting the biceps so you’ll want to be sure that you also hit those triceps with some high intensity sets as well.

If you want a complete system of advanced training tips as well as day by day athletes to get you looking like a pro athlete (by training like one) then head to and get your ATHLEAN-X Training System.

A quick note: Incline dumbbell curls caused my biceps long head tendon tear! This exercise is a FINISHING exercise, kinda like the concentration curls i.e. you have to take medium weights in this exercise. I used to do this exercise with super heavy dumbbells with proper slow form but I just recently found out that this is the exercise causing my shoulder issues while for the past year the doctors kept diagnosing it as Rotator cuff injury (shoulder impingement).

Was doing this exercise and a guy came and told me my elbows should not be so low, that I should bring them closer to my body. Not wanting to disrespect the dude (who was 40ish – I'm 23 and still kind of a beginner) I followed his advice, but felt some pain in my shoulder.
Any thoughts ?

The problem with this man’s instruction, is that he didn’t warn how big your arms will be when you’re done. Good vid
