When choosing arm exercises for women, you have to include biceps exercises if you want the best looking arms. Many women only do triceps exercises because that\’s where the arm flab hangs from.
You see, there is so much misinformation and misguided opinions out there that you are probably doing the wrong exercises. But don\’t beat yourself up because it\’s not your fault.
And it\’s my goal to give you the truth behind the different arm exercises for women. After all, some of the most highly recommended exercises are the most dangerous.
So here is today\’s analysis:
1. Summary: After Arnold starting doing these in one of his movies, everybody else started doing them. You can see gym rats everywhere performing this exercise until their faces turn red and then blue.
2. Quick-technique snapshot: Grab a dumbbell and sit down. Keep the dumbbell facing forward. Put the elbow of the hand holding said dumbbell against your inner knee. Bend that same elbow and lift the weight up. Slowly return the weight then repeat the movement.
3. Most common errors: Using a yanking motion to get the dumbbell up which uses momentum, not muscle to perform the exercise. Pushing the elbow with the inner knee to get the weight up.
4. Bottom line: There are a couple issues with this exercise. First and foremost, exercising one arm at a time is very inefficient. Second, because of the position your body is in, it\’s virtually impossible to do this exercise with a lot of weight. And you need to use a lot of weight for the fastest arm toning.
So now you know two things about arm exercises for women. One, you should be doing biceps exercises and two, you shouldn\’t be doing concentration curls.
And remember that taking action on information is extremely important if you want rapid success. Simply letting advice sit in your head is a surefire way to NOT get results!
