Build massive arms & a gigantic chest by working your… legs?

by caleb lee

If you ever wanted to build a bigger chest and huge arms then this article will show you exactly how to do that… without… spending any extra time working those muscles out.

In fact, I will show you how to build a big chest and arms by working your LEGS!

Does this sound like I don't know what I'm talking about?

Many bodybuilders and weight lifters think so. But it is why they still have limp noodle arms and a scrawny chest.

You see, most bodybuilders waste all their time doing isolation exercises (that is: single joint exercises) for their arms and chest (often doing multiple types of exercises for each one) in an attempt to build a bigger upper body…

Why is this bad?

This is a poor way to do things because one of the primary factors of muscle growth is making sure you jack up your levels of growth hormone, testosterone, and other "body chemicals"… this is what signals your body to "build more muscle NOW!"

Now, the best way to "jack up" the levels of these chemicals in your body (so you automatically build more muscle) is by intensely exercising your ENTIRE body… and not just certain parts (like your arms or chest).

So when weight lifters spend too much time doing lots of different workouts for their arms (curls, etc)… and lots of different exercises for their chest (bench, flies, etc)… they're only working out small muscle groups and not putting their whole body under enough stress to signal muscle growth. (are you making this same mistake?)

So what's the secret to remedy this problem?

The answer is to work out ALL of your body as much as possible. Especially the biggest muscles of your body. Like your legs and back and THEN your chest, arms, etc.

Here's the best way to do this: start with compound (multi-joint) exercises like the deadlift and squat before you start doing isolation exercises like specific chest exercises (dumbbell flies, etc) and arm exercises (curls, etc).

So, if you want to build a shirt-popping chest and hulk-like arms then you need to work out your LEGS… follow the guidelines above and you're sure to start building new muscle almost overnight!
