I need good excercises for building strength in upper arms.?

Answer 1

Here's one for triceps: Use a 5 or 10 pound dumbbell depending on how strong you already are. You can do this exercise in a standing or sitting position, but I find standing to be easier. Gripping the dumbbell in your hand, raise your hand above your head in a completely vertical position with your upper arm close to your ear. Then slowly bend your arm behind your head until you can touch your shoulder blade. Now raise your arm back up to the starting position (above your head).
Repeat this 5 or 10 times for each arm.

Answer 2

I'm going to suggest something a little different from the rest. Most of your answers so far say to do bicep and tricep exercises which is the normal thought. However I am going to tell you to focus on doing chest presses, shoulder presses, seated rows, and lat pulldowns. It doesn't matter what type of presses or rows you do, just do them. Aim for 2-3 work outs each week. Do 4-8 sets for each movement (can be one exercise or spil up into 2-3). Do 6-10 reps for each set and adjust your weight so that you reach failure during the last 2 sets for each movement.

You move more weight in bigger movements like these which will force your arms to become stronger. Small movements like bicep curls and tricep pressdowns only exercise your biceps and triceps, big movements like presses and pulls exercise all the muscles. More muscles exercised means more total strength.

If you already do these main exercises, add strict form barbell curls and skull crushers. They are stronger movements using more weight and more stress on the muscles.

Answer 3

most of the workouts above are good - in spite of the undeniable fact that - I dont recomend doing a hundred push up/day - the reason being the %muscle tissues gets extremyl tight - and could particularly pull you right into a kyphotic posture - or in different words slumped over - no longer alluring. Do a good balanece of chest adn back workouts to maintain good posture. Do 8-10 reps of rather some excercieses - like DB Press, Lat Pulldown, Seated Row, DB Flies, etc. Do 8-10 reps - in case you're able to do 12 - with good form - bump up the burden. good success

Answer 4

Get a piece of round wood about 12 inches long and one inch thick. Tie some strong rope to the centre of it. Tie the other end to a bucket. Start off with the bucket quarter full of sand or stones. Now, with your arms outstretched, wind the rope around the wood, drawing the bucket upwards. Pause when it reaches your hands, then slowly unwind it back to the ground. If it was too heavy, remove some of the sand or stones. If too light, add some more. Within months you will have arms like Popeye - guaranteed...................
