Can you really build big, strong arms without doing curls or triceps extensions? According to legendary bodybuilder Mike Mentzer, the answer is yes—if you’re already performing the right compound movements. In this video, we explore Mentzer’s rationale for emphasizing close-grip pulldowns and parallel bar dips as the foundation for arm development. Drawing from his Consolidated Program and rooted in biomechanics, athletic observation, and scientific studies, Mentzer reassured trainees that these movements provide more than enough direct stimulation to grow the biceps and triceps—without the need to add isolation work.
Whether you're aiming to streamline your training, improve efficiency, or understand a time-tested approach to hypertrophy, this video offers a compelling look at how simplicity can rival complexity. Isolation exercises may have a place in bodybuilding, but Mentzer’s insights show that they aren't essential for size when compound lifts are executed with intensity and precision. Watch to learn why fewer, smarter exercises may be all you need for serious arm gains.
