How To Take Your Arm Workouts To The Next Level

By Katherine Crawford M.S.

There are an infinite number of variations on how to do arm exercises for women. Unfortunately, if you're doing the infective variations, you could end up wasting an insane amount of time and energy.

To make matters worse, you may notice very little arm toning from all your efforts. Once this happens, the chances of you throwing in the towel go up drastically.

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

1. Fully stretch your long head. Do this whenever performing an overhead extension. These types of movements directly target the long head of your triceps. By fully stretching at the bottom, your long head will get maximum toning. And remember: the long head of your triceps is the area where arm fat hangs from!

2. Squeeze, squeeze and squeeze some more. This is a great technique when doing any type of press down. The key here is to consciously squeeze the lateral head of your triceps at the midpoint of any press down movement. It will be painful, but very effective.

3. Do some negative repetitions, but don't do overboard. You don't want to go overboard because they do cause a lot of muscle damage. However, when used moderately they greatly accelerate your arm toning progress. They're a great tool for making arm exercises ultra effective.

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 two ways to do arm exercises for women: the effective way and the ineffective way. If you follow the pointers outlined in this article, you'll be well on your way to rapid arm toning. So make sure you act on this information now and not later.
