If you want to build bigger arms then you need to take a 360-degree approach. Sure, the bicep might be what creates that bulge at the front of your t-shirt sleeve, but it’s the tricep that makes up the bulk of the arm. Luckily, this five-move workout from Fitness Trainer, Joe Bronston, focuses on both muscle groups (and some shoulders for good measure) so you get the best of both worlds. Just grab two dumbbells and get ready for a juicy pump.
While arm workouts are an aesthetic pursuit for many (which there is nothing wrong with by the way), you shouldn’t forgo the benefits of building stronger arms. For starters, they’re essential for everyday activities, picking things up, carrying, pushing, etc, but Harvard Health also notes it’s important for bone density, better balance and reducing the likelihood of injuries. Plus, it can give your athletic performance a boost too. Even lower-body exercises, like dumbbell lunges, require strong arms and a good grip to hold onto those dumbbells.
