Best Bodyweight Exercises For Your Arms

If you are trying to build arm muscles, such as biceps and triceps, then there are some great exercises that can help you develop these muscles in no time! These exercises can be performed at home or at the gym, before or after your regular workout. Make sure that you combine your workout with plenty of water, and a balanced diet that is rich in protein and fats from lean meats, as well as carbohydrates.

Try these exercises out next time you are working out your arms!

Diamond Pushups

Diamond Pushups are a great exercise for the triceps. Once you have reached failure, you can switch to a normal stance pushup (taking a 10-15 second rest) and dish out as many reps as you can till failure again. Make sure that your hands are in line with your chest and not in a lower position.

Max Chin-up Hold

This exercise really gets the blood pumping and is a great workout for the biceps and is pertinent when trying to build bigger arms on bodyweight exercises. When doing this exercise you perform a chin up and hold yourself at the top for as long as possible (till failure). When you can’t hold on any longer, come down and rest for 15 seconds. Then perform the exercise twice more.

 Tiger Bend Pushups

Personally, this is one of my favorite pushup variations. For starters it looks pretty cool, however, it’s not just about how it looks. It’s a really painful exercise but a really effective one as well. This, along with diamond pushups will make sure you’re getting the best out of your workout routine.

One Arm Bodyweight Curls

This exercise is really similar to dumbbell curls except the fact that you’re using your bodyweight and not dumbbells. This exercise solely focuses on the bicep and biceps alone and will really help in increasing muscle in the arms. You could either perform this on a pullup bar or gymnastic rings. Whichever one is more convenient and comfortable for you.

Remember not to be discouraged if you find it difficult to complete these exercises at first. Your body will slowly develop the endurance and muscles needed, and then you’ll be performing these exercises easily in no time! Keep in mind that it is a continuous process, and it is simply not possible to develop massive arm muscles overnight. So, be steadfast and consistent in performing these exercises. Good luck!
