Although using regular bicep exercises like barbell curls and dumbbell curls will definitely lead to big arm development, you can also build big thick biceps with back training. It is no secret that heavy back training leads to big biceps since you use your biceps significantly every time you perform any number of different back exercises. If you only train each body part once per week like I do remember you are hitting your biceps a second time every time you train your back.

You will build big thick biceps with back training when performing any of the back rowing movements. When performing an exercise like bent over rows you hit the middle part of your back muscles which has the effect of building thickness into the back but you also use a lot of biceps and particularly the brachialis part of the arm as well. It is by building the brachialis that you seriously add to the overall thickness of the biceps and general arm size. Doing dumbbell rows has the same effect of helping to build arm thickness.

The seated long pulley row or row machine also helps to grow thicker arms as you pull back and flex your biceps hard when you bring your arms in close to your body. It is essential to really squeeze your arms tight and crunch the weights in hard as you row the weights closer to your body. Take advantage of every single rep by squeezing the muscles in both your back and arms and this will add to more back and bicep thickness.

Any other rowing movement will also build big thick biceps and it is important to remember this when training your back and put your mind in the muscle when you perform every set. Putting the mind in the muscle might sound like rubbish but it most certainly works in building muscle. Every time you enter the gym for a workout it is important to focus on the muscles you are training and really feel all the muscles in your body working. If you are training back, feel the biceps, brachialis and the rear deltoids as you perform each back movement, don’t simply concentrate on just the back muscles.

You really will get better overall results with your training if you focus on all the muscles that are working when performing any given exercise. I never believed it when the biggest bodybuilders I met told me about this many years ago but when I started to focus more I started to develop thicker arms and a thicker more densely muscled body than I ever thought possible. Building thickness in the arms and the entire body takes time but with consistency and focus you will get there.
