Ono's guide to building muscle - Biceps

[ono]

and what does bicep aesthetics have to do with boxing? oh yeah. Nothing.

I never claimed that this thread had anything to do with Boxing.

Just to make it clear to everyone actually. This thread isn't Boxing related.

No hard feelings Von, i didn't mean any disrespect or anything.

I like the thread and looking forward to more. Being in the middle of a process of changing mine, it is just the sort of thing I want...discussion and direction for diff. exercises. Hoping there are more.

Ok well i'll stop with this thread and start a new one tomorrow. I think i'll do back tomorrow.

Be easier for people to find if i do seperate threads for each muscle group.

Cool guys

Well if anyone wants some killer bicep workouts just burn them out.

7's take a curl bar load up some weight do 7 curls (while standing) from a resting position (down at your hips) halfway through a curl motion (you should stop right under your ribcage)....then without setting down the weight you immediately put the weight in the finishing position (where your hands are near your collarbones) and then do 7 reps only going to halfway down (which again will end around the bottom of your ribcage).....after those 7 you do 7 full curls.

Remove weight then repeat until you get tired. When you get to a light enough weight you can even do reverse curls which are done in the same manner as regular curls only reversing your grip (your palms will face away from your body at the end of a rep).

If you're going to do tricep work (which is essential to throwing punches) then it's essential to work the bicep just to maintain a balance between the muscle groups.

This makes sense, and when I look at my workout that was tailored for me by someone who really knows their shit for boxing training, I see that they included bicep building along with the triceps.

I think possibly why it is shunned so much by boxers, is it is related to the type of 'get your biceps big and purdy' workouts that many do.
