Three Workouts For Your Arms

There are numerous ways to workout your arms. To get you started, here are the three most common arm workouts.

 First is the dumbbell curl,start off with your feet shoulder with apart. Then hold a 10-pound weight, or more if you feel comfortable, in each hand in front of your hips and your palms facing out. Then bend your right arm 90 degrees up so your hand is parallel to your shoulder. Then lower it down to its starting position and do the same motion with your left arm. While doing this motion keep your back straight and don't sway back and forth. Do eight curls with each arm and three sets total. The main muscle group here is your biceps.

 

Another arm workout is the reverse dumbbell curl. First start with a dumbbell in each hand with your palms facing down. Your feet should be shoulder width apart with your arms fully extended by your side. Then while keeping the upper part of your arm stationary, curl the weights upward but only your forearms should move. Continue the movement until the dumbbells are at shoulder level. Then slowly bring the dumbbells down to starting position. Do eight reps for each arm and do three sets. The main muscle group here is your forearm.

 

The last arm workout for the day is reverse grip triceps push-downs. First start by having a bar attachment on a high pulley machine. Then facing the bar attachment, grab it with your palms facing up at shoulder width apart. Then lower the bar by using your lats until your arms are fully extended by your sides. Make sure your elbows are by your sides while pulling down to focus this workout on your triceps. Then slowly elevate the bar up as you inhale so it is aligned with your chest. While doing this workout only your forearms should move while your elbows and your upper arms are stationary by your side at all times. Then lower the bar back down to the original starting while exhaling and contracting the triceps. I recommend to do ten reps and three sets of this workout. The main muscle group here is your triceps.
