Q&A for How to Build Arms Fast

You should be fine training arms twice a week. Just make sure you keep your protein intake high, and if you are just starting out, make sure you eat quite a bit of carbs.

Of course, building biceps won't affect your growth. Just focus on proper form to avoid injuries.

And hour is a good amount of time.

Do push-ups at home, and diamond push-ups for your chest and triceps. If you have dumbbells, you can do bicep curls. Do at least 10-12 reps with 3 sets at least 2-4 times a week. Also, don't do arm exercise every day, since your muscles need time to rest and recover in order to grow.

Protein will still help with your weight loss, just make sure you are eating lean protein. For carbs, you should be eating complex carbs. Stick with whole wheat pasta, green peas, black beans, whole wheat bread, oatmeal, etc.

Yes, definitely. 17 years old is a great starting point to build muscle.

You should stick with the pressups. Start the weight training when you're 15 or 16.

Do military presses and overhead presses.

Workout your arms every other day for best results and to give your muscles time to repair, rest and recover between workouts.

Each gym has different fees and prices, so you should contact them directly.

There is no minimum age for training, but if you start at very young age, it might affect your growth.

Yes; I'm 50 and do arm workouts every other day. It may take longer to build muscle, but there's no age limit. Be sure to eat plenty of protein, get at least 8 hours of sleep per night, and rest a day in between workouts to allow for optimal muscle growth.

Yes. There is really no difference between the two.

The only real threat is if you lift wrong, which can damage your muscles for a long period of time. Lifting weights is great when you are a teen; your metabolism levels are higher than an adult, so the effect from the workout is greater. Just be sure you're not lifting more than you can do with proper technique, and follow all safety precautions.

For mass gain, you should use exercises that include multiple muscle groups. Bench press, for example, is vital because it includes chest, triceps and back. But in mass gain, the diet is the most important part; focus on getting enough proteins to build and repair muscle to get maximum results.

There's no way to give a precise answer, as it depends on how defined your muscles are to start with and how much fat is camouflaging them, as well as how intense your push up workouts are. However, if you eat a lot of lean protein, get plenty of sleep and give your biceps a day to rest and grow in between workouts, and try different push up methods such as diamond push ups when conventional push ups become too easy, you should notice a significant change in about six weeks.

Do cardio and yoga. Yoga is the best way to treat back problem, as it flexes the muscles in your whole body and strengthens them.

Use weights that are doable for the majority of the reps with a bit of a challenge for the last couple. Try to experiment with lighter weights and adjust as necessary.

Muscle growth consists of weight training to break the muscle down and an increased intake of protein for muscle growth. A good rule of thumb is 1 gram of protein for every pound of muscle you are trying to achieve. A great food source for protein are egg whites, tuna and chicken breast.

Do push-ups, about 15 per day, then slowly add the quantity. Slowly your arms will strengthen and become toned.

Androgens are protein anabolic, that's why there are performance enhancing drugs. If you are talking about building upper body strength, androgens are more effective, but may be less effective for lower body because androgen receptors tend to concentrate in the upper part of your body. Androgens may have beneficial effects regarding athletics, however there are severe side effects. These side effects may include liver cancer (steroid metabolism by liver), reduced reproduction (negative feedback, inhibit releasing and tropic hormones in brain) leading to lack of gonadal growth and sterility.

Absolutely. It might take longer, because you probably have less testosterone than an adult, but you can still build muscle. Just be careful not to not lift heavy weights too often, because this can make you not grow as tall as you could have. Try doing bodyweight exercises whenever possible.

All the exercises above are good, like the Barbell Wrist Curls: Sit at a bench holding a weighted barbell with your forearms resting on your thighs. Raise the barbell as high as it can go using only the muscles in your hands and forearms, then let these muscles relax to let the weight hang as low as it can. Repeat. For a complete workout, try reversing your grip with each set.

As a general rule, unless your routine explicitly states otherwise, don't perform an exercise two days in a row. More specifically, each muscle you exercise should be given 24-48 hours of rest between workouts. The deadlift works the back and leg muscles, which are also exercised by the barbell back squat. if you want to perform both exercises, then simply alternate the exercises with each workout. Say you work out Monday, Wednesday and Friday: Monday squat, Wednesday deadlift, Friday squat. Then next week: Monday deadlift, Wednesday squat. You get the idea.

No, or at least, it's no more effective than curls any other way. my advice for curls would be to always perform them standing straight, as this forces you to avoid cheating reps, and makes you concentrate more on the exercise.

The overhead press helps build the shoulders and triceps (the back of your arm). It's an excellent movement for muscle growth as it uses multiple muscles and you should be able to lift bigger weights than in bicep curls or tricep extensions. Look up "overhead press" "Arnold press" and "military press", which are all similar exercises.

If you want to avoid gaining weight whilst keeping as much muscle as possible, you're going to have to keep your calories low whilst maintaining a high protein intake. Use an online calorie calculator to find out how many calories your body needs to maintain mass, then lower the calories if you want to lose weight.

A good weight is one in which you can do 8 - 12 reps with proper form while feeling a good burn and bear failure for the final 2 - 3 reps. If you can easily do a set at a certain weight, then it’s time to increase; just be sure to focus on technique rather than how much weight is on the bar.

Eat lots of good protein (chicken, fish, lean beef), drink lots of water throughout the day, do cardio daily (but avoid doing excess cardio on lift days), lift heavy and get plenty of sleep.

I would avoid any serious lifting if you’re that young; you want to wait for your body to develop slightly more and produce enough testosterone and hormones for muscle repair. If anything, stick to body-weight exercises like push-ups/pull-ups and maybe curls.
