Defined Fitness Tip For Results 27: Getting Beach Ready Arms!

So you want nice toned and defined arms? Who doesn't? But is doing bicep curls and tricep extensions best way to achieve sculpted arms and look great on the beach?

We've been asked numerous times why our programs don't contain any direct arm work and to be honest it's just that doing curls and tricep extensions are not an effective use of time or way to get your whole body ready to hit the beach.

New research from Ball State University has found that isolation exercises, e.g. bicep curls and tricep extensions, had no effect on arm strength, size, or definition, as compared to compound upper body exercises like rows and presses.

So what this means is that both methods achieved the same results in terms of arm size and strength. However, you create a higher metabolic effect with rowing and pressing exercises compared to bicep curls and tricep extensions. Meaning that more calories are burned and more fat is lost with the rowing and pressing exercises so that your entire body looks great, not just your arms.
