General Bodybuilding Techniques

Bodybuilding Techniques for Biceps

You should use a straight bar for building the biceps, stand in the standard position and you should drag the bar up to the chest and then bring down in the same way. You should do three sets of 15 reps.

Bodybuilding Techniques for Calves

You should stand on a calf block and lift one of the legs and do this exercise for about 20 reps for each leg and then hold a dumbbell in your hand and repeat the same exercise about 10 times with each leg. Repeat this exercise for 3 sets each leg and in this way calves will grow faster due to large number of reps.

Bodybuilding Techniques for Triceps

Perform a narrow grip press down, and the arms should not be allowed to go passed the 45-degree angle.

You should do heavy weight for 1-3 reps for 3 weeks to get stronger, then return to 8 to 12 reps for mass building.
