Is A Concentration Curl A Good Arm Exercise For Women?

By Katherine Crawford M.S.

How do you know you're doing the best arm exercises for women and not wasting your time? Well, the truth is, you probably don't know and if you are only working on your triceps, you're not getting the best results.

Choosing the right triceps and biceps exercises can be extremely confusing, however. You see, every fitness buff has a different opinion. Many times, however, these opinions are subjective, not objective.

And it's my goal to give you the truth behind the different arm exercises for women. After all, some of the most highly recommended exercises are the most dangerous.

So here is today's analysis:

1. Description: Gym rats across the globe do these day and night in hopes of getting the bulging biceps of their dreams. Maybe because the one and only Arnold can be seen doing them in his hysterical documentary, Pumping Iron. Once an exercise gets celebrity status it spreads like fire among the masses.

2. Technique quick-start: Sid down on a bench, keep your palm facing forwards and grab a dumbbell. Tighten your inner thigh and rest your elbow on the inner knee of said thigh. Bend said elbow and raise the dumbbell. Then slowly lower it and repeat the movement.

3. Most frequent mistakes: Using the knee (or thigh) to push the dumbbell up. And yanking the dumbbell up which uses momentum instead of muscle.

4. Conclusion: Doing this exercise is a poor use of time because you are only exercising one arm at a time. Also, it's extremely difficult to use a substantial amount of weight with this exercise because of the position your body is in.

So what arm exercises for women are you going to do? Hopefully, you'll do some biceps exercises as well as triceps exercises. Don't commit the same mistakes so many other women make by only working on their triceps!

Finally, I would like to point out that taking action on this information is critical for success. Simply storing it in the back of your mind is not going to get you anywhere. - 17269
