 By: David Robson I recently spoke with model, and top natural bodybuilder, Anthony Catanzaro about his bodybuilding and modeling endeavors. During our talk, he shared with me the various aspects of his life and personality that have helped him excel in his chosen professions. This interview was published right here on Bodybuilding.com and achieved a great response. As a respected personal trainer, Anthony let me in on some of the strategies he employs to get the best from his clients. He also told me a little about the type of life he leads to prepare for bodybuilding and modeling events. However, Anthony did not go into great detail on the finer points of his own training program. In fact, Anthony spends so much time helping others; his own training programs are very seldom discussed, and virtually never published. With that in mind, I contacted Anthony to see if we could present to the world some of the methods and strategies he uses to get into the sort of shape he is internationally respected and recognized for. Anthony's arms, in particular, have impressed many over the years, and judging by the response to his recent interview with me, those guns are still turning heads. The fans want to know: how does Anthony build his arms and exactly what sort of program does he use? In a first, Anthony's arm training routine, in addition to other methods he employs, and his thoughts on the importance of quality arms, follows.

The biggest mistake people make in the gym is their always looking for new and better exercises and routines to get in better shape! Does a bird look for a better way to fly?

1: Super Sets
2: Drop Sets
The theory behind the drop set is to thoroughly exhaust the muscle through multiple sets of an increasingly lighter weight. For example, one might go from 80-pound standing biceps curls for eight reps to 50-pounds for another eight reps, and so on, until the muscle can do no more (ouch).

4: Flexing (Isotension)

I am not real big on pro bodybuilders today, but I have to say that Flex Wheeler is at the top of my list! His arms are big, separated, and actually beautiful to look at. They are like a work of art.

I'll do wide grip curls for the inner head. Close grip for the outer head. And concentration curls for the height, or as some people call it "the peak".
Biceps Brachii. The muscle is given the name biceps because it has two heads, and brachii comes from the Latin word for arm.
