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.

[ono]

Von put the rattle back in the pram please...

Don't rise to him please ono?...

Back to the thread

Cheers

The lat pull downs using my home gym lat bar have made a big diff. in power in a short time, southpaw, strengthening the back. If you take a look thru my log page one is the workout I do, and page 2 the home gym.

Currently looking to change it up and will shortly to work other areas, and most info. I have received regarding biceps is that it is largely a useless workout for punching power. Mostly just to look nice. I already look nice

I want to hit harder and faster.

thanks blood, Theres one at my gym.. I'm going to take a look at the log, I've been looking to make my back grow, but i havent developed a routine for it, might just use yours. :P

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.

southpaw, I 100 % encourage you to steal that workout and use it. From the body weights to the tabatas. Follow it to the letter if you can, for my cardio and strength grew quickly. It has been amazing, but it is time for me to make a change.

yeah post on Ono. This is really gonna give me some well needed exercises to incorporate into my weight liftting.

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.

Fantastic thread Ono.
We all must admit, although of little relevance to our sport we all crave them.

You should see me now Ono.

I'm little and getting really ripped!
I'm so much smaller than I used to be, but so much faster and stronger.

My arms and shoulders are half the size of what they were, but I feel stronger than ever in sparring. It's brilliant!

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.
