Building muscle on your arms is much like building muscle on any other type of your body.
But there are essential factors that will determine how much muscle you gain and if you gain any muscle at all.
One of these important factors involves getting a sufficient amount of protein and getting around 8 hours of sleep everyday.
Sleep will help your muscles heal after a hard workout and will help to facilitate optimal muscle gain.
In addition to sleep and protein intake, it is also important to have a well designed weight training program that is not too repetitive.
Doing the same workouts repetitively will only result in a plateau in which you will stop seeing the results that you experienced at first.
So when you do go to workout at the gym, do your best to keep your muscles guessing and switch up your routine every couple of weeks.
Some of my favorite arm workouts are tricep extensions, skullcrushers, pull ups, and preacher curls.
Preacher curls do a great job of targeting your bicep muscle, especially if you are doing preacher curls with a dumbbell.
One hand at a time.
When it comes to tricep workouts, tricep extensions are an exceptional way to get defined triceps and they also work great for building muscle around the tricep.
If your looking for other exercises to switch to, you can also consider doing cable exercises that target the bicep and tricep muscles.
I love using the cable machine in a way that requires me to pull down the cable toward my knees.
Its a great tricep exercise, especially when warming up the muscles at the beginning of the workout.
