Iam very new to bodybuilding and am trying to build some muscle...
On another website I read that my tricep should be 2x the size of my bicep
Arm size = 2/3(tricep) + 1/3(bicep)
My first question is...Is the above statment true?
Secondly, I need some help developing a tricep work out. The only exercise I know of currently is skullcrushers and havent rlly seen any amazing results that would allow my arm to meet the ratios I mentioned above.
Simply looking for some tips/advice or even a workout routine that might allow my arms to reach those ratios.
Thank you for your time, and I will appreciate any advice given.
-Thanks

close grip bench press, skull crushers, dips, pushdowns, etc.
LaxGuy16 First off, if you are new to BB then you should simply start working your entire body. (i know you probably are already). Back to your original question. The Tri's should be around 2/3'rd your arm (although genetics may change this for you). I for my tri's i like the following (in order)
Close Grip Bench, Dips, Skulls. (but that is just me)
Stats:
Height: 6'
Weight: 198lbs
Current Cycle: Cut

ATF Squat: 350lbs|315X2
DB Bench: 120|105X4
DL: 450|345x8
Close grip bench press, dips, bench press, other pressing.

just changing the proximity fo the arms to the body will make the triceps the target muscle in a lot of pressing..experiment a bit
close-grip bench press, dips with legs straight, tricep rope pushdown, french press
