Answers:
Here is a good arm workout, do NOT cheat on form:

1!. Seated barbell biceps curl - Sit on a bench and rest a barbell in your lap!. Take a shoulder-width underhand grip on the bar and curl it upward toward your chin!. Use a weight that is so heavy, you can only perform eight reps!.

This exercise allows you to use more weight than you normally would because the seated position limits the range of motion!. Try to curl 150% of your normal bicep curl weight!. Perform one set of eight reps, rest 30 seconds, then increase the weight 10% and perform as many reps as you can!.

2!. Close grip bench press - Do yourself a big favor and perform this exercise in a power rack or on a Smith machine!. Limit the range of motion to the top third of your range!. By limiting the range of motion, you will be able to hoist a much heavier weight and it's that big weight -- not the range of motion -- that triggers new muscle growth!.

Grip the bar with your hands spaced about six inches apart and contract your triceps to lift the bar off the support and to full extension!. Use a weight that is so heavy, you can only perform eight reps!. Again, with this restricted range you should be able to use at least 50% more weight than normal!. Perform one set of eight reps, rest 30 seconds, then increase the weight 10% and perform as many reps as you can!.

Forearms
Forearms tend to be neglected in most workouts, but these two exercises are great at generating an awesome intensity of overload to these highly visible and impressive muscles!.

3!. Seated Wrist Curls: These are performed from the same position as the bicep exercise described above!. With an underhand grip on a barbell, rest your wrists on your knees so that your hands extend beyond your knees!. Allow the weight of the bar to force your wrist toward the floor!. Use your forearm muscles to power the weight back up!. Perform one set of eight reps, rest 30 seconds, then increase the weight 10% and perform as many reps as you can!.

4!. Wrist Curls Behind The Back: These are performed by holding a barbell behind your back with your palms facing backward!. It helps to have the bar on a rack to start or to have a training partner place the bar in your hands!. The heavy bar will naturally hang down and your wrists will be in a relaxed position!.

Use your forearm muscles to power the weight up by bending your wrists!. You can use a lot more weight on this exercise than you think you can!. Go heavy -- don't worry about getting a full range of motion!. Perform one set of eight reps, rest 30 seconds, then increase the weight 10% and perform as many reps as you can!.

Each time you perform the four exercises in this arm workout, try to increase your weights by 15% to 25%!. Doing the same workout each time gets you nowhere!. It's all about making progress!. Progress drives new muscle growth!.

Do this routine 2 times a week!. After 4 weeks, take a week off of arms!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
