Building this much muscle on your arms is now a REALITY. Prepare to hate yourself for the time you wasted doing 1,000 s of curls.
It seems that everybody these days is jumping on the latest magical fitness phenomenom . I can't go outside without hearing words like functional training, CrossFit, Metabolic training, or P90X.
Before you get sucked into a trend think back and try to remember why you got into strength training to begin with. Didn't you dream of packing on slabs of muscle? Or a ton of strength? Or maybe you were like me and really wanted to get big, veiny, sleeve tearing, girl seducing arms.
My name is Dan Trink and I'm the Director of Personal Training at one of America's top 10 gyms as chosen by Men's Health, proud holder of too-many-certifications-too-mention and writer for too-many-magazines-too-count.
I also happen to have enormous arms. Aside from the Mr. Clean jabs, I get asked by dudes like yourself everyday how I got my physique.
But it wasn't always this way. In fact, I used to be a soft, fat guy; The weight room saved my life.
At 28 years old, I was 50lbs overweight working as a creative director for an ad agency I needed a change so, in the four months leading up to my wedding, I lost 51lbs.
It wasn't until I looked at the pictures from my honeymoon that I thought, this still isn't what I want to look like; I'm not fat anymore but I still look like crap.
I read everything I could on working out and nutrition. I put in tons of hard work and it paid off. My doctor even asked me if I was on steroids . (I wasn't and never have been.)
I did all of this before I trained a single person. I always figured you had to walk the walk' before telling others what to do. Now my guns have become a part of me. Everywhere I go it seems to be a show. I catch girls looking up from their phones (probably texting their boyfriends) to check out my sleeve popping, vein bursting, should-be-illegal gun show.
