The Best Arm Exercises

By Cliff Pape

Is there a sight more impressive than arms that are properly developed in a muscular fashion? For many, there is nothing more desirable than possessing well developed and defined arms. This does raise a number of questions regarding the best exercises for developing the arms. This includes biceps and triceps and forearms. When a proper comprehensive approach to arm development is enacted, the desired look will be procured.

One of the core exercises to do is the barbell curl. This exercise does not even need a lot of weights in order to be performed. A moderate amount of weights can still yield good results when performed in the correct form. The grip for the barbell curl can be normal for biceps and inverted to workout the forearms, both of which are worth doing to improve symmetry in the arms.

Dumbbell curls can be performed in the same way as barbell curls with the difference being an extended range of motion in the dumbbell curls. This will lead to a more defined look resulting from the biceps being stressed from the extended range of the workout.

Other bicep exercises are the preacher curls, cable curls, wrist curls, and a concentration curls, all of which work the forearms and the biceps very effectively. Tricep-wise, extensions and cable pull down can all enhance the development of them dramatically.

Another get arm workout is secondary stress. This is when an exercise intended for one muscle group, works out another muscle group in the process. One great example of this is the bench press. The bench's main purpose is to workout the chest, but in the process the arms are being worked out as well. In the end you will be working out your biceps, triceps, and forearms a certain extent. Another note, a closed grip on the bench press is great for tricep development.

For the people out there wondering if the traditional push-up can enhance the development of the arms will be happy to hear that this is most definitely correct. Changing up you positioning when doing push-ups can greatly tone up your arm muscles!

Upper body exercises will give a great impact on the development of your arms. Pretty much, you cannot have an upper body exercise without the use of your arms. Meaning your arms will be developed to some degree as a result.

As you can see, there are many exercises that can be performed to workout the arms to an effective degree. The two main keys in these exercises though are effort and consistency. Put forth both of these and you will be rewarded with an amazing new look for your arms. - 31828
