Ono's guide to building muscle - Biceps

[ono]

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.

Yeah you always want to work complimentary muscle groups....but for making your arms big, the tricep muscles are bigger than the biceps.

If you want the long and lean muscles then when you do curls do your work outs slowly, controlled, and with lighter weight and more reps.




I don't know about anyone else but my biceps being stronger helps me keep my form when I am throwing hooks and uppercuts

That's a myth Lyle.

Lighter weights - more reps myth has reared it's ugly head again

To be honest it's something i was told when i originally started training. Anyway it's a dirty lie

See below....

Fat Loss & Weight Training Myths

"Performing lighter weight with more repetitions (15-20 reps, 20-30 reps, or 20-50 reps) does not burn more fat or tone (simultaneous decrease of fat and increase muscle) better than a heaver weight with moderate repetitions (8-12 reps)"

Actually that page busts quite a few myths...It's worth checking out.
