Never really been into going to the gym/doing weights, my exercise has been limited to football/bike riding etc.
I want to have bigger arms and work on my upper body strength though.
This will probably seem a little vague but I've tried googling and there's a lot of information, it's quite confusing. Could anyone link me to/show me a basic arms/upper body workout plan, I can spare an hour or two a day for it, the only thing is I don't want to be paying for a gym membership but I do have a set of dumbbells.
Thanks.
I was intending for the same thing but I was told on here it's best to workout your whole body, rather than just some parts. A couple weeks later and I'm beginning to agree with them (I have been working my whole body btw).
Do you mind telling me what you currently do please, pm/post here whatever.
Sure.
All are using dumbbells, and 5 minutes of warmups on an exercise bike.
Mon/Wed/Fri - takes me approx 45-55 minutes
(biceps, triceps, legs, chest)
Flat flyes
Bench press
Bicep curls
Squats
Lunges
French presses (Skullcrushers)
Tricep kickbacks
Tues/Thurs/Sat - takes me approx 45 minutes
(back, shoulders, traps, abs)
Deadlifts
One arm rows
Lateral raises
Front raises
Reverse flyes
Seated shoulder presses
Upright rows
Then I do the P90X Ab Ripper workout (try a torrent
), it's a killer. Getting better at it though. (Takes me approx 20 minutes, because I take breaks as is encouraged on the DVD).
Exercises are seen here -
