Training Arm Muscles - Biceps and Triceps

Arm training focuses on building strength and definition in the biceps, triceps, and forearms. These muscles not only enhance the appearance of your arms but also support functional strength for pushing and pulling movements.

For the biceps, start with barbell curls or dumbbell curls to build overall size and strength. Hammer curls target the brachialis, adding width to your arms, while concentration curls help isolate the biceps for peak contraction.

The triceps are equally important for balanced arm development. Compound exercises like close-grip bench presses or tricep dips target the triceps while also engaging the chest and shoulders. For isolation, try tricep pushdowns or overhead tricep extensions with dumbbells or cables.

Don’t neglect the forearms, which contribute to grip strength and arm endurance. Wrist curls, reverse curls, or farmer’s carries are great for building this often-overlooked area.

Consistent arm training, paired with proper nutrition and recovery, will lead to well-defined, powerful arms that enhance your overall fitness.
