Arm Training

Bigger arms come from more than adding random curls at the end of a workout. You need enough hard sets, good elbow-friendly exercise choices, and real progression across both biceps and triceps. Triceps often make the bigger visual difference, while biceps reward clean mechanics and patience.

How To Use This Hub

The best arm work is controlled, measurable, and repeatable. Use a mix of elbow flexion and elbow extension patterns, train through useful ranges, and stop turning every curl into a full-body event. Small muscles still need serious intent.

Use this hub for Ken’s arm lessons, curl variations, triceps work, cable setup, and the form details that make isolation training actually productive.

What To Do First

  • Train biceps and triceps directly every week.
  • Use stable variations you can feel and progress.
  • Control the eccentric instead of chasing sloppy reps.
  • Keep elbows and wrists comfortable enough to stay consistent.

Common Mistakes

  • Only doing biceps because they are more fun to see.
  • Swinging curls with loads the arms cannot own.
  • Ignoring long-head triceps work.
  • Changing exercises before tracking progress.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I build bigger arms?

Train both biceps and triceps hard, progress the work, and keep technique strict enough that the target muscles stay loaded.

Should I use cables or dumbbells?

Both can work. Use the tools that give you the best tension and joint comfort.

How many arm exercises do I need?

Usually fewer than people think if the exercises are chosen well and progressed over time.
