Cannot get BIs to grow HELP

**mattygm** · 23-10-2008 04:25 PM

Hi all

having big problems getting my BIs to grow at all. Have been hitting the gym for an hour each day m/w/f following the MP build lean muscle training program for about 6-7 months now but had barely any change at all in size. I have also been following the MP build lean muscle diet sticking to it as close as possible.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Matt

change your diet and training? You need to adjust your training every few months. Eat more fats.

post up your diet and training routine.

if you want your bi's to grow more, then train your triceps- it takes up 2/3s of your arm,

train your back-biceps are involved in back work and if you train your back right, you won't need to touch your biceps.

train you legs as well- you legs support your upper body, it also makes you look in proportion. no-one wants to have chicken legs. also training legs releases most growth hormone meaning better growth overall your body.

If you have not grown you are not eating enough thats it.

Are you lifting with correct technique? are you using enough weight? are you eating enough to grow on? are you adding a little bit of weight per workout? these are just some of the questions you need to address.

And are you adding loads of extra bicep sets to each workout......

I'd echo what Dope said.

Biggest gains I ever found with biceps was when I hit back heavy

**dope540** · 23-10-2008 07:37 PM

yup. lower body moves indirectly train the arms and also it releases bucket loads of GH.

just think, when deadlifting, you have got to keep your arm tight to hold that weight.

you might be over-training them too, in your desire to make them grow; easy trap to fall into. how many exercises you doing on them? There are quite a few very accomplished people here that don't train their bi's directly at all, they just go hard and heavy on back.

Hi all

I have been sticking to the diet on section of the MP site

muscle-and-size/?article=diet

and tring to stick to the below training program as was give one by a personal trainer at my gym which never made much change:

muscle-and-size/?article=training

So i should think i am eating enough and doing the correct exercises to traing the correct muscles enough - dont know what else to try and really confused with the mass on info i keep reading.

I am gaining weight on the diet but can mainly see it going on my gut and butt.

I am doing alot of leg work on seperate days as in the training program above and including seperate bicep exercises.

Feel like if i eat any more im just going to bloat and am just not seeing much lean muscle gain.

Thanks to you all for your posts

Matt
