There’s no getting around the fact that arm workouts will make your arms bigger! Aside from a set of six pack abs, arms are one of the most sought after muscle groups! Having big, well-developed arm muscles is almost universally seen as a symbol of power and strength. These five arm workouts are designed to shock the system and punish your muscles with something completely new.

I would recommend training arms between 1-2 times per week. These arm workouts are guaranteed to kick your ass – especially if you don’t usually train arms with high volume! Make sure you are using proper form and aim for a 2-3 second negative on every repetition! Enough of the boring stuff, let’s get to the workouts!
