Muscles react to both overwhelming weights and high volume.
When you’re discussing arm muscles, however, there’s just so much weight you can use on biceps twists and triceps expansions without spoiling your structure and returning your and shoulders at danger.
Fortunately, your arms get their share of big loads on presses, rows, and pull up. Your goal with arm-specific exercises is to pump up the volume, and this new routine from Men’s Health Gideon Akande does exactly that.

You’ll do 120 total reps on each arm, focusing on your biceps and triceps while also working your chest, shoulders, and upper back.
And because you’re doing most of it in a half-kneeling position, you’ll get some core-stability work as a bonus.
You’ll probably want to use at least two dumbbells—a heavier one for the floor presses and underhand-grip rows, and a lighter one for the curls and triceps kickbacks.
It may be even better with four dumbbells. Start with the heaviest for the presses, and finish with the lightest for the kickbacks.
You’ll do 15 reps to each side for each exercise, with as little or as much rest as you need in between. That’s 60 reps altogether with each arm. Repeat the circuit, and in less than 10 minutes you end up doing a total of 240 reps.
Your arms will feel like lead balloons at first, thanks to the pump you’ll get. That feeling is temporary, but when you repeat this routine a couple times a week, it won’t be long before your arms are permanently inflated

Indeed, even in the rec center, we pull up and jump forward. Move sideways without notice and there’s a decent risk you’ll collide with some individual.
Yet, the human body is worked to move in each heading. Furthermore move, as well as balance out development.
From the littler ligaments in your feet and lower legs to the greater muscles that power your knees and hips to the center muscles that secure your spine, everything necessities to work in composed activity to keep your joints safe and your body deft.
This new three-stage sidelong development drill by Men’s Health Fitness Director B.J. Gaddour gives all of you that and a really fiendish cardio challenge, as well. Look at it in the video above.
Everything you need for this versatility drill is the capacity to tally to three while planning your inverse side arms and legs.
You can concentrate on equalization by holding yourself in the mid-stride position for a few moments; enhance versatility by getting your knees as high as could be expected under the circumstances while holding your back in the nonpartisan position; deal with velocity by fueling through as quick as you can for a few moments at once; or on oxygen consuming force by going 20 seconds on and 10 seconds off.
Alternately you can step constantly for three to four minutes for an alternate sort of cardio test.
