4 Tips For Ultra Effective Arm Exercises For Women {By: Louis Locke}

by Katherine Crawford M.S.

There are many ways to perform arm exercises for women. And if you?re doing the inefficient ways, you could end up wasting a lot of time.

Even worse, you may hardly notice any results from all your hard work. And nothing is more demoralizing than busting your butt in the gym only to see little, if any change.

So here are some tips on how to make your arm exercises more effective:

1. Get the full stretch when doing overhead triceps extensions. When doing a tricep extension, make sure you get a full stretch at the bottom of the movement. You?ll have to use lighter weights, but the long head of your triceps will get worked like nothing else. And the long head is the precise area from which arm fat hangs?

2. Aim for a forceful squeeze. This is most useful when performing any type of press down for the triceps area. By squeezing at the bottom, you?ll place the maximum amount of stress on your triceps. And maximum stress translates into maximum results.

3. Do negative curls. If you want the complete toned arm look, you can?t neglect your biceps! After all, they are the first muscle someone will see when greeting you from the front. A negative biceps curl focuses on the downward portion of the movement. For example, you would do a bicep curl and bring the weight up with a normal speed, BUT lower the weight at a much slower speed.

4. Use some really heavy weight. But don?t let your form deviate. In fact, never let your form deviate. How heavy? Don?t be afraid to venture into the 3-5 repetition range? Trust me, your arms will thank you for it. After all, you have to target all types of muscle fibers in your arm for the best results.

There are always multiple solutions to every problem. And if you?re trying to get toned arms ASAP there are multiple ways to do arm exercises. In my experience, the basic exercises done with advanced techniques for maximum intensity always provide the best and fastest results. So stick to the basics, ignore the flashy gadgets, and you?ll be well on your way to sexy arm stardom.
