Planning the build

I've posted much about exercises and different techniques and approaches to reach certain goals on my blog, so some of this might be a little rehashy.

Here are a few little things to think about to help you reach your goal.

Biceps are a short muscle along with the calves. To make them grow you have to hit them hard with heavy weights to the point where you can feel them bursting out of your skin. They will recover very well. Don't be afraid to slam em hard because you wont be anywhere near as sore as you would, say, after a good legs day.

Chest size. The measurement of chest size constitutes they back as well. So if you are looking to increase your chest measurement, do not neglect the back!!! At the same time don't over do the back, I have seen many with disproportionate back to chest ratios they have massive backing (pardon the pun) with small chest nuggets set upon that. It looks weird, be careful.

This guy still have a mean chest but the proportion is all whack!

Need to work on the forearms? These are longer muscles like your upper leg, hit them with pump inducing reps to get them flared up. Ever sawn a piece of wood and gotten a swollen forearm? That's what you want and you can get that from wrist curls of all varying types.

Abdominals are a hard one to get sized right. Too much work on the wrong areas can get them to grow in the wrong way and too little will leave you un-popped. For the V taper leg raises focusing on the lower holds will help, crunches will target the upper and middle nuggets and side bends will help with the obliques on the sides. The abs are another long muscle group so hit them with higher reps to reap the rewards.

Chest tip number two is remember that there are 4 ways to hit the chest giving you heaps of ways to chisel and grow. Upper chest, normally done on inclines or with close grip dips. Lower chest, done on decline benches or wide grip dips. Straight chest, flat bench workouts. And the Fly movements focusing on the outer edges of the chest where it interlocks with the shoulder.

Still need bigger arms? Well don't forget that the bicep measurement is also helped by your triceps. 3 oddly placed longer muscles that you don't see as often, but the people behind you can. They are longer than the biceps but treat them like a short muscle group. Hit em hard!

With these tips you can create a workout plan that can take you closer to your ideal Grecian Goal.
