The Best Arm Exercises

By Cliff Pape

Is there anything more impressive than well developed arms? For many people, there is nothing more wanted than having well developed arms in a muscular fashion. As a result, this raises many questions regarding the best exercises for developing arms. When a good approach for arm development is taken, desired results will follow.

The core arm exercise to perform is a barbell curl. This exercise does not even need to be performed with a lot of weight stacked on it. Moderate weight can yield excellent results provided one performs the exercises with the right form. The grip of the barbell curl can be standard for biceps and inverted for the forearms. Both are worth performing in order to enhance 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.

There is also the notion of secondary stress. What is this you say? This is when a certain exercise is intended for a certain muscle group and also provides an extra workout to other muscle groups. The bench press is a perfect example of this. The bench's primary purpose is to work the chest, however the arms are engaged in the process since they are also aiding in the lifting. In result, you are developing the biceps, triceps, and forearms to a certain extent. Also, a closed grip bench press can increase tricep development greatly.

For those that are wondering if the class push-up can deliver good development of the arms will be pleased to hear that a push-up can definitely improve the arms. Changing up your position when doing push-ups can lead to the toning of the muscles in the arms.

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.

Yes, there are many different exercises that can be employed to develop the arms to a significant degree. The key is to put in the proper effort and be consistent with the workouts. This will yield excellent results and a completely new look to the arms. - 31525
