SPARTAN CHEST WORKOUT

6 OF THE BEST ARM WORKOUTS

Our top 6 picks for the most insane arm workouts you’ve never tried.

While arms may not be the largest muscle group, they are one of the first go-to’s when someone asks you how strong you are. They get noticed immediately when they’re huge, and they are one of the fastest ego boosters when they stretch out our shirt sleeves. To get massive arms though, you’re going to need a variety of arm workouts that go beyond your standard 3 sets of 8-12 reps that you see everywhere, on every site.

We’re going to discuss the anatomy of the arms before we dive into the arm workouts. Understanding that having giant arms is really some “smoke and mirrors” will help you understand which exercises to focus on the bring up your arms.

Triceps

Triceps make up 2/3 of your arm and are responsible for most of the size that you see on guys with big arms. There are three heads to the triceps:

  1. Long head
  2. Lateral head
  3. Medial head

Arm workouts and triceps anatomy

 

One of the hottest debated subjects in arm workouts is “elbows in” or “elbow flared” being proper form. Well, there isn’t a right answer to that.  Keeping your elbows in tight on any overhead movement will focus more on the long head of the triceps, which is the largest of the three heads. You see this part of the triceps when you hold your arms out parallel to the floor.  On the other hand, if you flare your elbows, you’re bringing the tension and focus more on the lateral and medial heads.

Biceps

The smaller of the two muscle groups in the arms but also the “show boat” muscle. It consists of two heads:

  1. Long head
  2. Short head

Arm workouts biceps anatomy

The long head is the “gun show” head and is responsible for that massive peak we all love and want so bad. The short head is smaller and located more on the inside of the biceps. If you want big arms, you need to ensure that you work both the long head and the short head of the biceps in all your arm workouts. You can work the long head more specifically by doing one of these:

  1. Supinating the wrist by trying to turn your pinky outwards at the top of the range of motion.
  2. Moving your grip or position wider to force supination

Below is a video that will explain the differences in the long head and short head of the biceps. There are also several tips in the video to help on your journey to big arms.
