Thursday, July 9th, the Museum of Art of Fort Lauderdale, Nova Southeastern University, and the 2009 NPC Southern States Championships will present “The Muscular Body as Living Art,” a live exhibition that will feature bodybuilding champions replicating poses of famous works of art like Michelangelo’s David and Rodin’s The Thinker. While they’re posing, NSU faculty members will lecture on the importance of the demonstrated piece as well as male and female muscular body images throughout history, from Greek sculpture to pop art.

It’s no secret that every serious lifter out there desires an impressive pair of strong, muscular arms.
Who wouldn’t be happy with tall, peaking biceps sitting on top of rock-hard, horse-shoe-shaped triceps? Who wouldn’t love to have a pair of ripped, well-developed guns forcefully bursting through the sleeves of their shirt?
While developing muscular arms is usually at the top of many peoples’ agenda, the reality is that the majority of lifters out there have a very poor understanding of how to properly train their arms for maximum gains.
In order to gain the proper insight into effectively stimulating arm growth, we must first recognize three basic truths:
