3 Arm Workouts To Turn Pistol Arms To Cannons

When training your arms, it’s important to think about the way in which the muscle can move. The biceps muscles will be contracted by flexion at the elbow, and the triceps muscles will be contracted by extension at the elbow.
3 Arm Workouts To Turn Pistol Arms To Cannons

So – when performing a bicep curl, the best way in which to fully contract your bicep is by fixating your elbows, keeping your shoulders low and slowly raise the dumbbell or barbell to find maximal contraction at the bicep muscle without the shoulder joint being worked.
Similarly with the triceps, fixation of the elbow joint and only using your triceps to do the work by keeping your scapulae retracted, pecs up and allowing your elbows to completely extend out to find maximal contraction of the triceps.
Following on from this explanation, here I present 3 different ‘Arm Day Workouts’ to follow, working on different angles in which, ranges, time under tension and rest periods!
