In every gym across the world, you’ll find guys knocking out endless sets of curls.

Why?

Well, it’s probably because every guy wants bigger arms.

But here’s the kicker:

The bicep muscle is only responsible for about 1/3 of the size of your arm.

The triceps muscle (on the back of your arm) is responsible for 2/3 of your total arms size.

So if you want bigger arms, the smartest thing to do is to…

Grow Your Triceps!

How do you do that?

Simple. You focus on a couple key triceps exercises and you train hard and get strong.

In my experience, the triceps muscles respond best to heavy exercises that allow you to use a lot of weight.

So forget about dumbbell kickbacks or cable extensions.

Here’s a proven exercise for building sleeve stretching triceps:

*****The Close-Grip Bench Press*****

This exercise is done just like the normal bench press but you move your hands closer together. Your hands should be about 6-12 inches apart. A good way to figure out how close to put your hands is to start with your hands shoulder width apart and keep moving them closer and closer.

At some point, when you move them too close, it will hurt your wrists. When you find that point, just move your hands about an inch apart and you will have the perfect close grip.

Also, on the regular bench press your elbows will be away from your body when pressing. But with the close-grip bench press you want to keep your elbows tight against the side of your body. This puts more emphasis on the triceps.

So if you want bigger “guns”, stop doing so many curls and start doing more close grip bench presses.
