Can small weights build big muscles? Zhihu

Yes

I believe everyone hopes to get a pair of explosive biceps, and they dare not neglect the training of biceps. Knowing the principle of cyclic and progressive weight-bearing is the key. The breakthrough is the key point. But after reading this experiment, I suggest you lower the training weight of your biceps, so that you may get better results.

We have to admit that when training the biceps, too much inertia is used, too many muscles are involved in compensation, and too much weight is used to train.

It is just such a small piece of muscle. There is no need to use such a heavy weight to squeeze it. This is not a symbol of strength. No one cares how much your biceps can lift. Its strength Can't bring you much pride. Indeed, many people say that the weight used to train the biceps now is not as heavy as it was two years ago, but they have seen more progress.

Someone did conduct an experiment on the importance of weight on the growth of biceps. The researchers found a group of subjects with certain experience and asked them to train with about 70% of the maximum weight on one hand. The other hand does not use any weight at all, but only performs elbow curls with bare hands.

However, every movement requires tightening the muscles as hard as possible, which is a bit like bodybuilding training. After 18 training sessions, although the weight-bearing hand is used, it does not matter. Both the biceps strength and muscle endurance improved more than the one trained with bare hands without weight, but what is unexpected is that there is no difference in the results obtained by the two hands in terms of muscle thickness growth.

Such research results do not tell you that you can exercise your biceps without weight-bearing and just do bodybuilding exercises. Research is research. I just hope everyone understands that muscle growth, especially small muscles, does not depend on just using exercises. It is measured by the number of weight, and more importantly, whether the weight is accurately applied to the target muscles and how much is applied. This is the direction of our thinking. This is the key to whether the target muscles can grow explosively.

When you are doing biceps training, too many muscles are involved, especially when heavy weights are used. When you pick up a weight that cannot be loaded on the biceps and insist on doing curls, then Your smart body can only use more muscles to assist. The forearms, shoulders, back, shoulders, and even the pectoralis minor will participate in helping you complete this action.

In view of such a phenomenon, think about it, how much force is really exerted on the two heads? How many muscle fibers can be destroyed? How much can biceps grow? I believe everyone has the answer in mind.
