How To Firm up Those Flabby Upper Arms

Women don’t have enough testosterone to build huge muscles but they can use the same effective bodybuilding exercises to shape and trim their arms.

The whole key to one of the very best exercises for shapely upper arms is keeping your elbows up by your ears throughout the exercise. The kneeling tricep extension with a pulley is simply a wonderful exercise for shaping and building beautiful triceps and it doesn't injure the elbows. T

The pulley needs to be about 5 feet off the ground. You'll be kneeling on the ground facing away from the machine. Your elbows are resting on a bench in front of you so you can keep them up by your head.

Okay, now here's the trick in making this exercise super effective. As your arms come back over your head dip the body down so the stretch on the long head of the tricep is even more intense. Also, keep the arms in close to the head throughout the exercise. You should be able to feel your ears with your biceps.

It’s essential the pulley is right about 5 feet high.
