LEE PRIEST How to Get BIG ARMS

[@AdrianBykann]

Lee Priest is my all time favorite bodybuilder. Not just for having the best arms in history, but also for his cool and witty character

[@matthewvarian367]

I think so too. His arms were just awesome

*Mike Mentzer has entered the chat*

[@sumalways]

Keep moderate or low weight and more rep volume. Its more about pump and activation. Roelly winklaar does the same

[@mustotren]

But is it optimal for natural lifters

[@orbitaltempest]

​@@mustotren If your arms aren't big and you don't have an arm day, then having one is optimal. Give or take, it's really just 10 sets for triceps and 10 sets for biceps. I've done 9 each before and I start losing the pump before I finish. 7-8 each may be better. Just see how much you can take until the quality of training degrades by a lot.

[@Wheelio]

Always laugh when I see people on YT claiming that isolating the arms is pointless. How is directly working the muscle pointless?

[@mitchellhayman381]

because beginners are very weak and you get a lot more out of squating 50 kilos for 5 sets of 10 then doing fucking wrist curls, moving 10 kilos a couple of inches. strong people can do more work than weak people.

[@charliecheswick8210]

I agree its hilarious, I've been training for 22 years and EVERY single guy I've seen with huge arms have punished the living shit out of them

[@bigconan]

yep, that workout goes against literally everything dorian yates did...his arms were pretty fucking big...yet he only did like 3 work sets per week for bi's and 3 for tri's..with only 1 work set per exercise...you can do tons of sets with less than 100% intensity or you can do 100% intensity, but do few sets...

[@guitarplayer8918]

bigcoanan - Arms were probably Dorians weakest bodyparts and they were small compared to other BB's. I will admit that 8 sets for a single exercise is way too many, but you need to do 20-25 isolations sets for bis and also tris, if you want big arms

[@jimmorrison3927]

If you honestly think you need that many sets for such a small bodypart, I don't know what to tell you...and dorians arms were fucking huge...so you think what worked for all his other bodyparts wont work for arms? that makes no sense...if his arms were "smaller" it's probably due to genetics...not his training...cause obviously his training worked, given all his mr. olympia wins...simply doing sets isn't what causes a muscle to grow..it's the intensity that grows a muscle...

[@TheGodofSteel]

You can't even gain an inch in one month. That's basically gaining a quarter of an inch per week.

[@scycosnake3964]

David Brown some of that might have been inflamation. I belive its possible though, he might have just not trained arms much before

[@ingaleerus7736]

Nobody cares what your routine is. Its different for everyonr. What works for you might not work for others. You learn that during your 2nd month of training. Then you'll learn how to use the weights. Nobody says deltoid anymore. Or abdominals. That's cute, though. I remember when I just learned the words and the lifts.

[@rokmin8550]

If I can add my 2 cents I'd like to say that if you watch Lee's video's and I have his dvd you'll notice that Lee has some of the best form of any pro or anyone really, I'd say forget the weight and use a weight that you can handle in that kind of form. I know weight/form/volume confuses a lot of people but I'd say it takes a little time to be able to read your body and though this may sound confusing, do as much volume as you you can recover from.

[@jackcarter6629]

What works for me is five sets of 3 rep max followed by 5 sets of 10-15 rep max. I need to do both. Results every workout.

[@sko3925]

No one cares

[@PedroF1981]

In my opinion, as Lee has said in other videos, we got to try many things untill we understand whats good for our body. For me, doing heavy weight/high volume doesn´t make my arms grows, never had sore biceps in my entire life contrary to the other muscles. Recently i found out what works for me. One exercise is doing pull ups for biceps, my fore arms get huge and i also started to do concentration curls using 4 dummbells, with dropsets. First i curl the heavier weight i can for 10 reps, then drop it to the next dummbell wich is like 4 pounds lighter, and so on, doing 10/5/5/5, for example. I do like 6 or more sets of this execise, and i can feel my arms burning and struggling to curl the final dummbell wich is like 10 kg and the next day they are sore as fuck. That´s what i found out that works for me.

[@bestopinion9257]

That sounds complicated. Look here how simple can be. After training back, one biceps exercise, one or two warm up sets, one basic set. Go home!

[@bonzai_303]

Every time I see guys with huge arms, they always train their arms. So, I guess what you train grows.

[@petrosbabinn1695]

Wow! Logic

[@adriansaldivar8318]

great advise, I like how you tell it the way it is instead of telling people what they want to hear. ill be sure to follow the arm advise!

[@NamelessTheDrifter]

Dear Lee Priest : I cant recall how many times I've heard and seen YOU indirectly teach how to properly train. Yet people still ask, how to train this/ that. I thank you for have given your wisdom to those who tuned in and for having patience to deal with these (as you would say) fukwits. Your greatest fan. ~ D

Wise to time them after chest and back instead of start of week. Overlooked point with many regular gym goers.

[@ViralKiller]

Remember Dorian Yates had pretty shit biceps, but his triceps were so big the whole arm looked big...if you can add decent size to biceps too it helps...bicep is a small muscle, train it medium weight and intense

[@ABABABABABABABABABABBBBBB]

ScycoSnake would tons of sets of farmers carry until you cant hold the weight be good? Or do you recommend forearm curls?

[@scycosnake3964]

Albin Both. I dont do those stupid things off of a bench. I will do forearm curls at my sides with dumbbells, and behind my back with a barbell, then superset that into a farmers walk with somewhat light weight to failure. I use 20 lb dumbbells because thats all I have but I like it because traps dont kick in. To work extensors I do reverse wrist curls standing with dumbbells at my sides or in front, and with a barbell slightly bent over rested on my knees. The arms arent perfectly vertical but they are almost. Then superset to a farmers walk. If you Pre-fatigue the extensors then thats what the farmers walk will work more, same with flexors. Also I do farmers walks with a slight flexion or extension depending on what side I am working
