Are you happy with your triceps development? Of course not. That’s a silly question. No bodybuilder is ever completely happy with his arm development. Even the great Phil Heath and Ronnie Coleman, owners of the four best arms in the history of bodybuilding, still train their arms regularly and are never satisfied with them. After checking out the routines of the pros, we narrowed it down to eight primary triceps movements that were most popular for mass. Let’s check them out!

When one talks of great backs in the history of bodybuilding, Lee Haney and Victor Martinez come to mind as two of the best. Both men were blessed with wonderful genetics and trained very hard, but they trained very intelligently as well. They both attested to the importance of using chin-ups, or wide-grip pull-ups, in their back routine. They knew this movement worked like none other, and the results that they saw were undeniable, and in the case of Lee Haney, still discussed decades later.

Walk into any gym in America and find a guy completing his leg day workout. Chances are, he’ll be completing his workout in the same manner each time. He’ll begin with 5 minutes of walking on the treadmill. He’ll stop by the water fountain for a quick drink, and then he’ll immediately head to the squat rack to begin lifting heavy. He may feel he’s hitting the front thighs while they’re at their strongest, and he’s right. But if his goal is to be a bodybuilder, and not a powerlifter, he may be sabotaging his own progress. Let’s examine why.

Maybe you just got your clock cleaned at a show by a guy with sensational hamstrings. Maybe you just saw a picture of Tom Prince in his competitive heyday, with hanging hamstrings that looked bigger and thicker than your thighs even look. Maybe your own thighs have been showing marked improvement, but your hamstrings just look the same as they always have. And maybe you’ve just come to the realization that a set of thick, powerful, bulging hamstrings is something you want – and something you will no longer be denied. Whatever your reasoning, you’ve come to the right place. Let’s examine a few techniques to help make those hammies the best they can be!

We all know how exciting it is to train back in a state-of-the-art facility. The machines are clean, and they are aplenty. The dumbbells are pre-sized, and placed on neat racks. The cable movements have a wide variety of grips. The free weight area is filled with racks, weights, and even those nifty little devices that allow you to load the weight for deadlifts just an inch off the floor. Ah yes, the feeling of training back in a top notch gym. Nothing beats it!

Many consider bodybuilding to be an art of illusion. This isn’t necessarily a sport where the biggest man always wins. The winner is more often the man that looks like he’s the biggest, at the same time displaying excellent conditioning as well as presentation. In many competitions, the most filled out middleweight will win the show, while the less defined heavyweight competitor must settle for less points.

People are pretty good at seeing through little white lies told in conversation. You know when somebody is blowing smoke, as it’s not hard to read their body language or see simple holes in the logic they’re trying to sell you. If your training partner tells you that he squats 1000 and weighs 175, you’re probably going to know he’s lying. However, if one of the biggest guys in the gym tells you that reverse-grip underhanded super-slow wrist curls (or some other silly exercise) is the secret to his mass, you’ll at least consider what he’s saying to be a possibility. Initially, the details will be so complex you may not understand it. Then, you’ll probably want to believe him because, well, he is the biggest guy in the gym. Then, one of his friends may agree with him, and you’re just plain sold on it.

Every since you began lifting weights, you’ve probably heard the same thing over and over. You should always start leg day with squats. It’s the compound movement most responsible for thigh (and overall physique) growth, and you should always complete this movement when you’re at your freshest. This is true most of the time, but it does seem to neglect the fact that our bodies respond best to new and unique challenges that we have not seen before.

There is very likely a machine in your gym that you’ve never tried. It’s usually sitting unoccupied, or perhaps being filled by a middle-aged soccer mom. It has two settings, and can be used quite painfully to add leg definition and mass. Using it feels and often looks awkward, and you will struggle with only a little bit of weight. It’s called the leg abductor/adductor machine. And you should be using it.

Bodybuilders can usually be found staring down food labels while standing in the aisle at the grocery store struggling with the decision of whether to buy white rice or brown rice. This is a decision that confuses many people. Bodybuilders need to understand the difference between the two types of rice, and then they can use this information to make smart dietary decisions. These are the differences between brown and white rice.
