Welcome to Cabral House Call. I'm Stephen Cabral, Board certified naturotic doctor and

today it's time to answer your questions.

So Gary asks, what's the best way to build up bigger arms?

And so whether you're a guy or a girl looking

to build bigger arms, or you simply want to add more tone to them?

I'll answer that question for you right now.

So one thing is that the arms never get necessarily more toned.

Now they can if the muscles are just more flaccid in the first

place, more of like a neurological dysfunction, but what happens is when you start to

strip away that body fat you get to actually see the tone to those muscles.

All right, so how do you get more

more muscle tissue or how do you build bigger arms in the first place?

Very, very straightforward. The problem is that most people are looking to just do isolation-based exercises for their arms.

So they're looking just to do a bicep curl or a reverse curl or something like a hammer curl anything that's just a curl and just moving their

elbow but I'll tell you this that is a nice stimulus that does work the bicep

muscles and it's a very small grouping right here and it will

break down muscle tissue to help rebuild them stronger and hopefully a little

bit thicker a little bit bigger but what's going to get you to that next tear of results is doing

exercises that keeps the biceps working as a secondary muscle group for a longer period

of time, for more time and attention. What would those exercises be? Well a bar bell

deadlift or a dumb bell deadlift where you're holding a heavy weight and your arms are

forced to work or a pull-up which is also working your biceps or a row which is also working your biceps. Or a row which is also working your biceps.
