Looking for an effective upper-body workout? You can't go wrong with resistance band arm workouts for beginners. Even though these small rubber bands may not look like much, they can really pack a punch to support stronger biceps and triceps.
In fact, training with elastic resistance provides strength gains similar to training with conventional resistance like dumbbells and machines, according to a 2019 review. And in a paper from the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, using heavy resistance bands was found to help increase upper-body strength specifically, with researchers noting it would be a great way for lifters to maintain their lifts when they're away from the gym.
