How long should a bulk last (weeks) and what are some excercises to make my arms wider (from the bicep up to the shoulder)??
There are no designated lengths that a bulk should last. Set a weight goal, reach it, and then end your bulk...simple as that.
Curls for the girls. (Bicep Curls, Hammer Curls, Chin-ups, Bent-over Row underhand grip)
Tris for the guys. (Tricep extension, Tricep pulldown, Overhead extensions)
Shoulders to get boulders. (Military press, DB shoulder press, shoulder raises lateral and front)
Thanks my dude

definitely look more into tricep workouts if you desire a wider-appearing arm. One that Shady listed that I highly recommend are the tricep overhead extensions and close grip benchpress.
My triceps are fine, its the bicep that I am really wanting to widen up. My biceps grow in a vertical direction but they dont seem to grow width wise. It may be genetics, my pops is a reall slim dude with thin arms. I need to in-coorporate overhead extensions into my work out and already do the close grip benchpress. Thanks for your input

Do you have a target weight?
During a bulking phase most people try to add .5 to 1.5 lbs a week.
And the best exercises for overall mass are COMPOUND movements.
If you wanna spend half an hour in the gym doing curls then go ahead
I would recommend chinups and pullups to target the biceps
Dips and bench press to emphasize the triceps
Shoulder/Military Press for shoulders. Good luck
No targeted weight. Just want to add muscle mass. Guess thats not really productive if im not assigning any measurable numbers to it.
Just going off what I see in the mirror.
Compounds are definitely in my workout and I save the curls to finish off my arm days. Will incorporate more chin ups. My shoulders are something that I struggle with in the gym. I was involved in an accident coming up on 2 years ago that left my right shoulder damaged. When doing any exercises involving the shoulders I struggle with the slight pain I feel with lifting/pushing the wight (this also affects my bench). But I keep persevering through it.
Thanks for the input bros.
