    The secret of the huge gymnast biceps is the straight arm exercises.
    Particularly rings specialist gymnasts have really big biceps, however you don’t see them to bend their arms during their routines.
    Even if they do bent arm exercises during their strength training, the straight arm exercises bring the most gains for the huge biceps, not to mention the other muscles.
    And one thing is for sure: gymnasts spend most of their time perfecting their routines, and strengthening specifically for that - as I mentioned, mostly with straight-arm exercises.
    The bent arm strengthening exercises have a supplementary role since they don’t do such movement during their routines.
    By the way, this specificity is important because a professional gymnast doesn’t aim to build more muscle than what is needed, as the extra pounds only make the routines harder.
    Therefore, they have no interest in unnecessary pumping and muscle building. We could say that every muscle you see comes from the characteristic of the sport itself.
    For them, not the aesthetics of their physique which is important but the aesthetic of the routines they do, and they build their bodies to perform those the best way possible.
    Then how is it possible that some gymnasts look like body builders?
    Well, as I’ve mentioned you can notice the best physique by rings specialists or all around gymnasts.
    And if something the gymnastics rings routine requires a decent amount of muscle.
    So if a gymnast has something to do with gymnastics rings and he’s not another event specialist like pommel horse or high bars etc. Then he’ll have muscles for sure.
    Also don’t forget that genetics play a key role as well, that’s why you’ll see gymnats to do the same insane skills but one is more muscular than the other.
    However, whatever your genetics is, if you want to get the most out of your biceps, you should take over the development of straight arm strength from gymnasts, because as you can see, this is a really effective way to build muscle.
    Not only in terms of biceps, I only highlighted this because it is most spectacular, this muscle plays a key role in the straight arm exercises, but in addition, the entire upper body is involved in the load, depending on what exercise it is.
    Let's see how to build up straight-arm strength properly!

Eventually I iced it during recovery & downtime, and just did straight arm stretches and fought out the pain.
      I recovered in about 3 weeks with this method; and never got it since. This was YEEEEARS ago.

      @GymnasticsMethod  2 года назад +28

      Oh man… I know what you’re talking about.Planche (any) on the floor and thumb tendon overused, it happened to me once.The best solution would be to progress really gradually with it (which is really subjective). Prehabwise the wrist mobilization circles are the best (bigger circles the better, gradually). As I’ve mentioned I had this problem and the recovery was really extended…. In this case the “overpushed” circles are not good, just work gentle with it. Be patient because it can be long, but never stop using it with isolations and circles.

      considering the number of gymnast exercise/moves where the biceps is in a stretched position. they spend a good amount of time under tension with their biceps stretched and isometricly contracted therefore they get good amount of stimulus from that combined with all of the moves and exercise where they do concentric and eccentric contraction too but the amount of time they spend with their biceps isometricly contracted plays a role in the development of the bicep size among gymnast and it makes sense why when you look at the duration of time they spend with their biceps stretched even though its not optimal for hypertrophy, if you do it enough just like gymnasts who spends tons of time during it, it will lead to hypertrophy 💪

    This is a concept I stress to no end--to both my students and public gym goers that ask me questions about gymnastics. We live in a very vain society that focuses on looks, but have very little strength.
    In gymnastics we focus on our routines and aesthetics OF said routine and focus on other things--straight toes on our handstands, back hollowed before a dismount, etc.
    With the hard work CAME the bodies that we have achieved.
    Even at 40, I'm still going very strong and able to still reciprocate most of the gymnastics I teach the kids. I never cared too much about my looks because it just came with the effort put into getting to the levels we have.

      I'm no boxer, but my current plan incorporates boxing workouts to strengthen my core and stamina/endurance. Besides that I do a lot of calisthenics as well to get the most out of my body. I have a goal of doing an Ironman by 30 or 32. No rush ofc so I use my spare time building up my body more. Taking 3 years to get marathon ready. Another 3 to prepare for the cycling portion ab a final 3 to prepare for the swimming portion. I'll be 28 by then, so the final 2 years will be training everything together. My plan is to also get a coach by the 3rd year so he can show me my flaws and lead me strongly into the right direction.
      After my ironman, I'll use 31-35 to build up strength and put on more muscle mass, and I'll incorporate a more gymnastics meets weightlifting type workout. I'll ofc have my calisthenics background to give me an edge in both fields and I do morning stretching daily now which will also help.

      Big guys can't do then not because of size but they are lazy for this kind of hard work.. They work differently.. If you tell a 120kg guy that today's program is 20 sets of 10 pull ups he will dissapear.. For us doing 6 sets for chest is a joke.. They don't put the same amound of volume every day.. They can but they won't.. Its too hard work and muscle endurance

      @@commantrosexetlos4700 I think that's true. I would also add that there are many short guys (such as some I know) who seem to be naturally gifted for gymnastics. Compared with them, just my extra couple of inches made most "tricks and flips" feel impossible.

  • @thrrax
    @thrrax 7 месяцев назад +1

    Main factor: height. There is a reason you rarely see male gymnasts over 1.70, and even rarer over 1.75, and that is member length. In general., the longer the members, the harder is to perform gymnastics specific training, due to certain physics factors.
    So, for all you tall people with dreams of having a gymnast body, you may be disillusioned when these exercises don't benefit you as much, and even cause injury.

  • @nicholasdalby5178

    In fact, I won't lock my elbows fully on any straight-arm exercise due to unnecessary strain on the joints. Tendonitis is something I want to avoid for as long as I can if not forever. Personally, I've found many traditional type exercise/gym ppl with blown up biceps or arms find it truly bizarre that somehow I am easily beating them in arm wrestling or other almost strictly arm-based feats because the exercises I do are NEVER isolated to any one specific muscle. Most important imo are the supporting or if not supporting then the less obvious muscles and regions of these muscles throughout the arm AND HAND. Those are what from my experience tend to really add strength as even most professional trainers seem unaware that a large bicep and tricep without strong brachialis and perhaps even more importantly, the CORACOBRACHIALIS which is THE CONNECTOR TO THE SHOULDER have no shot. They may not even accomplish one set of 10 pullups or close. The lesser known muscles of the arms are where the separation lies 2:19

    You are wrong on why one gymnast is more muscular than the other. It is because some gymnasts are all around gymnasts, meaning they do all 6 apparatus, some gymnasts specialize is one piece. The huge muscle bound guys are the ones who specialize in rings only, they are ALL much bigger.

    People want big arms before they turn 40. This would take years of Olympic training, not to mention most gyms don't have rings. The idea is interesting and the athletes look great but unfortunately time makes it impractical, just do barbell curls, done correctly it will be faster.

    Interesting. Though another channel (rennaissance periodization) rates isometric contraction at the lower end in terms of effectiveness of muscle hypertrophy. The guy over there is a legit professor and bodybuilder, so I tend to trust him. Could it be that these gymnasts here are a.) professionals and therefore have plenty more time to train, better equipment, better medical personnel, better everything and b.) had done gymnastics since their early childhood and are therefore much more adapted to the requirements? I see a lot of semi-professional gymnasts every week and almost nobody is build like the athletes shown in this video. Just something to discuss about
