Arms are the body part every young boy wants to develop. Every young lifters dream is to have biceps that peak vascular perfection, framed by diamond shaped triceps that look as full from the from as they do from behind and for WBFF pro Neil Anderson arms always tended to be a 'lagging' body part.
Neil as a young boy started to lift and develop fairly quickly, however as his chest, back and shoulders grew, he struggled to see the same results from his arms. No matter what he did and how much he lifted they just never responded.
However, Neil has never been one for quitting or making excuses, so after having done some research and getting some top advice from trainers he actually found that he was training arms too much and putting so much strain on them that they simply wouldn't grow.
What he failed to take into account was that when he was working muscle groups such as back, chest, shoulders etc he was still hitting his arms as all these muscle groups require work from the bicep and triceps. And having hitting arms three times weekly on top of this, he was failing to provide them with the rest they needed for optimum growth.
So with this in mind he totally revamped his routine and minimised his training to just once a week he started to see results instantly. And from this moment on there was no holding back for the boy from Northern Ireland as he just grew and grew on the bodybuilding stage.
Having won and still winning a variety of WBFF pro bodybuilding titles, Neil has agreed to share his top arm routine exclusively with LA Muscle fans. He recommends performing the below once a week once weekly for around 30-45 minutes per session. He also advises to work them hard, heavy and using proper form for maximum results.
