Below are 4 Good Arm Workouts For Men

Incline Dumbbell Curl Arm Workouts

Set a bench at 45-60 degree angle. Lay back on the bench, letting your arms hang by your sides. Keep your elbows fixed by your sides, keep your elbows in position and curl up, make sure you don’t swing the weight.  Control back down until arm is straight, keeping the biceps under tension throughout. In this position your shoulder is extending and your arm behind you. This specifically stretches the long head of your bicep which critically makes up a lot of muscles mass of the peak of your bicep, which makes it great for filling your T-shirt sleeves.

Dumbbell Hammer Curls Aids In Arm Workouts

A hammer curl can be done seated or standing. Simply keep your elbows locked by your sides, grab your dumbbell in a neutral grip and, holding them firmly, curl up and maintain muscular tension throughout. A hammer curl also targets your brachialis muscle, so do it as well as a preacher curl.

Tricep Training

Feel the stretch at the bottom and squeeze your triceps hard as you push to the top. This great all-round tricep builder is unique. It’s one of the few  movements where an arm muscle group can be loaded up with a significantly heavy weight. You can get a relatively long range of motion and great carryover benefit to your regular bench pressing and other pressing exercises.
