Digressing from body building and developing kokyu/internal power, I thought I might share something from the BBC series, "Mind Body and Kickass Moves" which I thought might be appropriate.
It was mentioning that when developing a martial body it was more important to have developed triceps, than biceps, and that large biceps would inhibit power (particularaly striking power,but the same in grappling as well), in that in more techniques your arms extend out/ push out than pull in.
Perhaps this is why some people with bodybuilding techniques have some difficulties with MA?

Interestingly, Korestoshi Maruyama head of aikido yuishinkai (ki soc offshoot) often discusses using the triceps in relation to internal power.
