If you want you build bigger arms here’s a few things I would focus on
1. 2-3 exercises per week is perfect and across those 3-4 sets on each exercise is the sweet spot
2. Go to absolute failure. I wouldn’t suggest that on every movement but you can really go to failure on arms and I believe you should
3. Things like ‘MYO’ sets work great. An example would be perform 12 reps, rest 10s and do 5 more, rest 10s and do a final 5. That’s 1 set
4. Work a mix of cable and DB if you can
Use these and you will build bigger biceps for sure

A lot of guys I talk to are unsure whether they should focus on getting leaner or building muscle first.
The truth is, you can do both at the same time, but it’s a slower process and requires everything to be much more dialled in.
Most of the time, I recommend one of two approaches:
Get leaner first while maintaining as much muscle and strength as possible.
Build as much muscle and strength as possible while keeping fat gain to a minimum.
There’s no right or wrong answer, but here’s how I’d decide:
If you started a building phase today, knowing you’d gain a bit of body fat, would you be okay with that?
If yes, commit to building muscle and getting stronger.
If gaining more body fat would knock your confidence or leave you unhappy, get leaner first. Building muscle without gaining some body fat is almost impossible.
The second thing I’d consider is your current body fat.
If you’re above roughly 18–20% body fat and want to see more muscle definition or abs, you’ll need to lose a good amount of body fat first. Focus on getting leaner while holding onto as much muscle and strength as possible.
It’s also much easier to increase calories and build muscle from a leaner starting point than from a higher body fat level.
At the end of the day, it’s personal preference.
But if you know you’ve got body fat to lose and don’t want to add any more, getting leaner first is probably your best move.

If you’re ready to level up this summer like Rob here, comment or DM the word ‘HUSTLE’ and let’s talk
What Rob has achieved over the last 6 months is nothing short of epic
As a father to a young boy, a business man with demanding hours and international travel, both his programme and nutrition needed to be adapted to his lifestyle from day one
He started at 205lbs, struggled to find time to train properly, was often tired and fatigued from travel and this also meant nutrition would often result in lesser quality choices and conveniences
Fast forward 6 months you’re now looking at a a guy who’s 26lbs down, more muscle, 10% body fat, sitting at 179lbs and full of energy
Rob got involved with all our group challenges
Planned his nutrition based on what we suggested
Adjusted his mindset and limiting self beliefs
And did what was required
This is why he’s won!
Looking epic man and excited to see where we go from here

This is what 6 months of progress looks like and it really is exceptional work.
(had to emoji the face FYI because of his line of work)
The thing that I am most impressed about with this transformation is how the cards were completely stacked against him when it came to nutrition.
The fact he had no opportunity to ever cook his own meals or weigh his food and therefor get the right tracking calculations, it relied solely on him;
Making the right choices that were put in front of him.
Eye balling portion sizes.
Avoiding the daily temptation of going for the ‘not so healthy’ choices.
Given he lived on base, breakfast, lunch and dinner were buffet food provided by his employer.
I don’t know about you, but when I see the hotel buffet and the selection laid out, it’s easy to chose the pastries over the eggs and sourdough, or the lasagna and chips over the salmon and rice.
Despite all that, he managed to nail it and continues to do so.
If you don’t think you can get in shape without cooking every meal, and weighing every grain of rice think again.
Dylan is proof no matter how much the cards are stacked against you, you can still win.
