Are Concentration Curls An Effective Exercise For Female Arm Toning?

By Katherine Crawford M.S.

What arm exercises for women are you currently doing? If you're only doing exercises for the triceps then you're missing out big time.

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.

Thus, I have decided to set opinions aside and look at the facts. And sometimes the facts can be scary. Some of the most highly prescribed arm exercises for women, for instance, are very 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!

One more thing: make sure you take action on this information quickly. You see, information that is not acted upon is usually forgotten. - 17274
