How To Get Big Arms

The arm is one of the most important muscles in the body and when it fails to get the job done it can cause problems. Below I have listed a number of exercises that you should be performing on a regular basis to increase the size and strength of your arm.

Curl. There are two things that you want to remember when performing this exercise. Firstly the best way to perform the curl is by using both arms. Secondly you want to do the exercise with weight at both the front and back of the shoulder. This way when the weights get heavy on the front of your arm you will be working the muscles behind it as well.

Deadlift. The deadlift is an extremely important exercise for those wanting to gain muscle mass and it is also one of the hardest exercises to master. In order to achieve good results, it is essential to have the right balance between strength and speed in the deadlift.

Lat Pulldown. When performing this exercise, it is important that the weight is brought to the chest and then lowered into the chest. By doing this you will help to tone up your upper chest and allow the weight to pull the shoulders towards the chest.

Lateral Raise. If your arms are weak, you should be strengthening them here as this is one of the best exercises to build your arms. The exercise can be performed with or without weights.

Shoulder Press. This is a great exercise to work the biceps. It is important to do the shoulder press with free weights as you are working the muscles behind the bicep rather than just the bicep.

Shoulder Press using dumbbells. When performing the shoulder press using dumbbells, it is important to use a wide grip which allows for a large range of motion. This makes it easier to handle the weight at a faster rate.

These are a few of the more common arm exercises that you should be working out your arm muscles. By doing these exercises you should notice an immediate increase in the size and strength of your arm.
