how do i get longer biceps?

[cshady3119]

i have pretty devoloped arms. i get compliments all the time when i wear a wife beater and such when i play basketball. the thing im realizing tho, is that i have i guess what are known as high peaking biceps. ive been told my arms resemble "a white tube stuffed with a softball". obviously this agrivates me. i want to know, is there any way to change this? my bicep ends about an inch and a half away from my forearm. how can i develop longer biceps? i want to be able to look better in a teeshirt with having the "softball in a tube" look. is there any way at all to change this? also. on a slightly related note, is it possible to make my forearms bigger? i have pretty small framed forearms and wrists. and ive also been told i look really out of proportion. people have said i look like the opposite of popeye. is there any particular exercises i could get to get bigger forarms? thanks

to your first question, no, the shape of your biecps is genetic.

and to the second question,

I have the same problem with forearms, the upper part of them is muscular where the lower part near the wrist is basically bone.

If someone give you a compliment about the "size" of your biceps, why would you care about someone who criticizes the "length" of your bicep? Length is due to genetics, nothing you can do can change that. You can make your forearm bigger, start bulking, although you won't see too much of a difference in your forearms. A lot of exercises involve the use of forearms especially compound. You don't need to have an exercise specifically for forearms.

I have the same exact issue with my Bicep. They say it looks like my arm has a baseball in the middle. It's just weird.

It's all genetics, I have friends who have short-insertion biceps, half of both and long insertion.

I got the long insertion biceps and it feels good man.

But it's hard to get a good peak though.

[Hadzic]

High insertions ftw. Low insertions are unaesthetic as hell and high insertions when flexed look like fukking base balls fukk yeah

This won't help with the insertion of your bicep muscle, but make sure when you're curling you use a FULL ROM. On the eccentric part of the movement bring your arm all the way down until it is straight. This activates more bicep muscle fibers and helps it get a more full look (it lengthens the muscle). Hope this helps. Let me know if you want an article about bicep development.

This. I have longer biceps too and it's hard to develope a peak. If you had longer biceps you would probably be on here wondering how you can grow a peak. Just take it as it is bro.

[JBich]

Maybe if you grow more your biceps would stretch therefore making it longer? I'm not sure. I think most tall people have longer biceps.

[asp93]

Genetics. theyre on sale at wal mart...

[Ensix]

Why would anyone want longer biceps? Your arm looks more smaller that way. I myself have a long biceps, if it's non-flexed you could say I don't even lift.

Same. But tbh I think we have it better because when we walk around in shirts, it shows up a lot better

yeah man if you could show me some stuff that be great

@ OP, nothing you can do.

No.

[pottsybrahh]

bro i have the same problem with my biceps, its just genetics, something about having a small then to a suddenly big tendon to develop the shape of your biceps. i dont know if you can change it but give incline db curls a go, really stretch out and let your arms hang in between reps, do 1 arm at a time to give yourself more concentration on each arm. make sure you can feel your biceps stretching out on the negative rep and have straight arms to began each rep. (8reps *each arm* 4 sets)

good luck dude.

[Shredded-Wolf]

Its genetics. Only way you could change it is surgery.

[xDonny]

I mean no disrespect in saying that I believe you and everyone else saying it's genetics is wrong. Take up boxing. It will stretch your biceps out and make them not peak as much and be more lengthy. Hope this helps.

I mean disrespect when I say no one cares.

[Baller1234]

My left bicep has a higher peak than my right. My right bicep is longer but basically equal in strength. My only guess is from throwing a baseball all my life.

[theboulder]

Lol at this thread? What's the difference between a short and long on? are their advantages or disadvantages or something?

you gotta have black genetics. sucks for you UGLYARMS

[SMASHgym]

ITT: You complain about your superior bicep genetics.

I have the long biceps you want.
Bicep transplant sir?

it's not that good, it's difficult to get a peak. It just gets big and bulky.
I have a friend who just started lifting (also taller than me) and he's got biceps the same size as mine already cos of the high peak.

[badamss]

proffesional rugby players train there biceps to be longer to increase momentum or something. not 100% how they do it i just know that james haskell talked about it on one of his workout videos. youtube it ;-)
