Moment of Bodybuilding Zen 38: Sergio Oliva’s Biceps

Sergio Oliva’s monster mass, wasp waist, and incredible proportions are legendary—and his physique is still shocking, even by today’s over-drugged standards…

It was often noted by people like Nautilus creator Arthur Jones that Sergio’s arms were bigger than his head. But one knock on Sergio was his lack of peaked biceps. Is there a training reason for that? Possibly—to a degree…

Sergio’s favorite biceps exercise was wide-grip barbell curls. If you know the out-for-in/in-for-out rule we explain in X-traordinary Arms, you know that wide-grip “out” exercises stress the inner biceps head more…

That’s more for thickness. Biceps peak is more about outer-biceps-head development, triggered by “in” moves, like concentration curls. That was one of Arnold’s top sky-high-bi moves…

Arnold's biceps' peak

In fact, after he stopped competing, the first Mr. Olympia Larry Scott experimented on his biceps. He was always know for long, thick, flat biceps. His favorite go-to biceps exercise: wide-grip preacher curls, an “out” exercise for inner-head mass. Hmm…

During his experiment, he relied more on “in” moves, as well as brachialis-muscle work. And he actually reshaped his biceps, creating more peak. 

To be honest, the amount of peak you can ultimately get has a lot to do with your genetics. Could Sergio have built higher peaks? Possibly—with more “in” exercises. But take a look at his son who now competes…

We never got arms like Junior’s or Sergio’s or Arnold’s, but ours got pretty good—drug-free, thick with decent peaks. Jonathan’s arms were especially impressive, maxing out at 19+ inches at their biggest, as this ebook cover photo shows (again, no drugs, no PhotoShop or trick photography)…
