Hi, I wanted to know how long it will take to get big triceps and strong triceps. I am building muscle strength and size. However, I don't wanna look like arnold scharwetzer.
Here is my routine. I will out on my triceps once a week for an hour long.
Tricep pulldowns
Incline pulldowns
Dumbbell extension(seated)
Kickbacks
Reverse pulldowns
I take a 30 second rest between sets. I just keep doing them until the hour ends. If anyone have any tips, please share them.
Can anyone give an estimation of how large and powerful it will triceps grow in 6 months doing this routine? Thanks.
To be honest. You do not have to be concerned about turning into Arnold in a matter of a few months nor a couple of years: You won't. It simply will not happen; this is reality. It WILL take years of commitment.
Working your triceps for an hour in one session isn't smart young man, nor is it necessary. What is smart is developing a "full body" routine that includes working (your triceps and biceps), to encompass the hour you are presently doing.
IMO, you construct a solid full-body routine, a solid diet, add a little good weight, and the arms follow.
Personally, I believe that if one builds the larger muscles of the body, the arms (which are the facilitators of moving these larger muscles), will have no choice to get stronger/larger to balance out the need of the larger and stronger muscle being worked or used.
The arms are the "gas" that provides the fuel of moving the larger muscles, and gets the larger muscles' "engine" revved up..........
Think about it young man. Bench Press (pecs, shoulders, etc) you are moving the arms. Variant of rows (back), you are moving the arms. Military Press (shoulders), you are moving the arms. The arms open the door to the larger muscle groups.......Okay, we get the idea.......he, he.
Include direct arm work in your routine, but construct a full-body routine along with a sound diet, and you will take many steps forward getting the body you desire.
Give your body "a reason" to have stronger and bigger arms. And, this ISNT through isolating the triceps independently by themselves.
It is through getting the larger muscle groups involved, and this only comes through the use of the facilitators: The arms.
IMO the arms will grow in direct proportion to overall body mass/body weight increase within an appropriate diet and weight training routine (I am speaking in terms of a healthy and normal human being).
Do not think for a fraction of second, that if you do direct arm work, and neglect the other major muscles of the body and NOT putting on "appropriate weight" will build massive arms, because it will not.
They will grow to a certain extent (especially strength and growth when one first starts out), but not near the extent if one were to put on some body weight and train: the legs, the back, and other major muscles of the upper body.
Broaden the scope of your goals.....a tad....
What is the rest of your routine look like?
What equipment do you have available to use?
Do you know how to "basically" construct a diet around what you need?
GET ROCKEN!
