Great Arm Work Outs

By Richard Daniels


If they are doing bicep curls they are generally doing all that needs to be done for the arms, lots of novice bodybuilders think like this. When training your triceps and biceps effectively, you need to train the muscle fibers in quite a variety of various movements. We spoke with some top bodybuilders and create some examples of workouts that can actually add thickness to your arms.

Straight bar bicep curl

You can make use of and EZ bar if you choose for much better wrist comfort. Grab the bar with your palms facing up and curl your arms to your chest. You can use a light weight for warm-up and a heavier weight for exercise.

Hammer curl warm-up

A hammer curl is different to a bicep curl due to the fact that the palms of your hands will be facing your body and not be facing up. Get your feet shoulder-width apart and hold a dumbbell in each hand. You can likewise do a variation which is practically a curl by bringing your hands to the middle of your chest rather than to your shoulders.

Rope push down

Your feet need to be somewhat apart and your knees slightly bent. Keep your elbows close to you sides and your hands close together as you grab the rope. Towards the end of the motion it is perfectly normal that your elbows will be somewhat raised.

Barbell overheads

These cannot be missing on any bodybuilding program. Lie on your bench and raise the barbell up so that your arms are facing directly in front of you. Bend your elbows and bring the barbell close to your chest. Bring it back up. This exercise works your arms without putting unwarranted pressure on your shoulders. An excellent variation can be had putting you bench in a decline and doing a number of sets in that position.

Alternate curls

For your alternating bicep curls, take a dumbbell in each hand and have your palms facing up. It is excellent to do sets at different speeds with varying weights so that you train both your fast twitch and your slow twitch muscle fibers. Curl your arm up until the dumbbell is shoulder height, keeping your elbow tucked in to the side of your body. Bring it back down in a slow, controlled manner. Avoid swinging your whilst lifting the weight.

Preacher curl

For this exercise you will need a preacher curl bench and dumbbells or a barbell. Dumbbells are a little simpler to make use of due to the fact that you can take them in your hands just before you sit at the bench. Make certain you adjust your seat so that the top pad of the preacher bench is close to your underarms. In this position do your bicep curls. A good variation of this can be to cut short your motion range at each set so that the last set just trains your muscle peak.

If you make these exercises a regular part of your daily workout, you will be able to gauge the results in bicep thickness in as little as 6 weeks!
