As a past gymnast with roughly 21 years of experience, I can state that gymnastics won’t render much growth arms. They will to a degree, but it is mostly lats and shoulders since everything has straight arms. It doesn’t do harm to do extra arm training, but it just doesn’t have much carry over.

Why do so many male gymnasts have such insane arms?

Well, you must remeber that most gymnasts that you see are elite athletes. Genetics do have a huge part in the sport, so you will see it show in the successful athletes. Another reason would be the assistance work that is done. A lot of bodyweight work will be done in order to make sure that they are used to moving around their bodyweight effectively. Dips play a huge part in that as just an overall strength builder for the upper body. Since it is a less stable movement than a push up, dips are almost always seen as the golden upperbody movement for gymnasts. Also, many do workout outside of gymnastics. Might as well look balanced, and who doesn’t like arm work?

Ahem

Unlike this guy though, most gymnasts are ambidextrous.

You kind of contradicted yourself there a little, saying everything in gymnastics is straight arm, but chins and dips are a huge part.

Don’t forget the question wasn’t how to get insane huge arms, is how to get arms like above. It’s safe to say if our guy attended his local gymnastics club with poor upper body strength and higher than acceptable body fat they would have him doing press ups, chins and dips and push his conditioning to her drop fat.

I also have been around gymnastics, and even at a local level pretty much every one would have arms equal to above.

Now if it was arms like Ronnie Coleman gymnastics style training wouldn’t do it.

Do this…

(more like 4 months than weeks tho)

Everything that a gymnast does for competition does is straight arm. Dips are a large part of assistance, and I never mentioned chins. Please read before even trying to reply.
And I never said that you won’t grow your arms from being a gymnast. In fact, I told you why you normally would. Then, ontop of that, gymnastics is arguably the most athletic sport there is, being that if you aren’t very athletically inclined for that sport, you likely will not be able to progress at all.
So, to recap, learn how to read before you reply, dips are large in gymnastics only as an assistance movement (kinda like bench for oly weightliftters), what you actually have to do for gymnastics is virtually only straight armed (you get major deducted points if you bend your arm), and gymnasts are extremely athletic people (if they are able to progress in the sport) so the chances of them having poor genetucs for muscularity is little to none.

I’m not sure your understanding. Where did I mention competition and judges scores? I’m mentioning replicating the bodyweight moves that a gymnast may perform.

Would training like a gymnast, like i stated, not include the assistance work?

So to recap, stop being a bitch and go read a bit more science.

Okay, insult me then. I will show you decency instead. Anyways! You clearly lack a basic knowledge of gymnastics as a sport. Gymnastics is a competitive sport. You go with your team to perform gymnastics, not other feats of strength. You will never go to a gymnastics meet and see a person going to failure on a sets of dips on the parallel bars. The movements that are done are what are practiced. Assistance work for gymnastics isn’t like assistance work for bodybuilding either. You will almost always do none since what you have already done in practice should have been your workout. This happens because while the strength they have is important, having more isn’t. Gymnastics is a skill set. Getting stronger won’t allow you to perform that other skill, expect for very specific and early portions of rings. The assistance work that I mentioned above is rare to find, but when you do find it you can bet your ass that it will be majority dips and ab work.
So, to recap, stop trying to pick arguements over something that you don’t know shit about.

Telling someone to learn to read is not insulting? You took it there first, bitch.

The person above is a gymnast, most gymnasts have arms very similar to the gymnast above, so learning how gymnasts train would be beneficial in attaining the physique of a gymnast. It’s as simple as that.

Just like if someone put up a pit picture of Mo Farah and said how do I achieve this physique, a good start would be doing some long distance running. Or is that wrong? I don’t expect them to win a gold in the Olympics.

This is all irrelevant anyway, if you look at the posters history you will see a number of these style threads. Hence why a short and simple answer was given.

“Learn how to read before you reply.” I know that you know how to read, but you didn’t fully read what you were replying to. Stating that you should know what you are trying to argue against is not an insult. In that case, I did not take it there first. You jumped to a conclusion, and I still won’t be insulting you.
Yet again, you did not read what I said. Gymnastics is not for everyone. Very few people can be decent gymnasts, let alone good enough to earn medals at a meet. Gymmastics is extremely difficult on all fronts, I am sure we can come to an agreement there. With that said, if you know a gymnast then you probably know somebody that is extremely athletically inclined and has great genetics. With you being in the bodybuilding world, you should know that there are some people that just naturally have nice arms, and never seem to train them. Arms are not very limited to genetics, but genetics will give you a massive head start when it comes to arm size. With that said, a gymnast that can actually progress is a very athletic person that probably has very good genetics. Most of them will naturally have big arms if they do any physical activity.
Training like a gymnast involves more trial and error than you realize. Like I said above, you rarely see assistance work, in the world of gymmastics. This is because you practice what you do, not practice to improve parts of what you do. Gymnastics training is pretty much doing exactly what you would do infront of a judge, but the judge isn’t there. This is because of how skill oriented it is. It take time to develop skill, so they put time into that skill. After so long, they are tired af and don’t do assistance work. That is why it is so rare for the assistance work to be done.
Telling somebody to train like a gymnast is a very lazy answer. It work for many sports, but not gymnastics. Virtually everybody can run, and improve how fast of far they can do so. Virtually anybody can improve how fast or accuratly they can throw a ball. Virtually anybidy can improve how well they can kick a ball. They may not be the best of the best, but they can improve it. And extremely small amount of people can learn how to better dismount their fly away (a skill you learn very early on the high bar where you let go of the bar, do a gainer (back flip moving forward) and stick it without moving). Many people just lack the ability to do that, and even fewer can do it with the capacity to improve. It would have just been better to have told this guy that he should do extra tricep/bicep work and to eat more.

Just do 5/3/1

5/3/1 is a terrible program for hypertrophy. For strength it is meh at best. To make it better, bring up the load. If you wanna do it for hypertrophy, always do boring but bigs.

Ha ha ha
