What arm exercises for women are you currently doing? If you’re only doing exercises for the triceps then you’re missing out big time.

Why? Because there is so much misinformation and misguided opinions out there that you are probably doing the wrong exercises. But don’t beat yourself up because it’s not your fault.

And it’s my goal to give you the truth behind the different arm exercises for women. Why is the truth so important? Because some of the most highly recommended exercises are the most dangerous.

So without further delay, here’s today’s review of concentration curls:

1. Summary: After Arnold starting doing these in one of his movies, everybody else started doing them. You can see gym rats everywhere performing this exercise until their faces turn red and then blue.

2. Quick-technique snapshot. Grab a dumbbell and sit down. Keep the dumbbell facing forward. Put the elbow of the hand holding said dumbbell against your inner knee. Bend that same elbow and lift the weight up. Slowly return the weight. Repeat.

3. Most frequent mistakes: Using the knee (or thigh) to push the dumbbell up. And yanking the dumbbell up which uses momentum instead of muscle.

4. Conclusion. Doing this exercise is a poor use of time because you are only exercising one arm at a time. Also, it’s extremely difficult to use a substantial amount of weight with this exercise because of the position your body is in.

Choosing the right arm exercises for women doesn’t have to be harder than finding a needle in a haystack. If you have the right, unbiased information you can make informed decisions. And make sure you include biceps exercises in your routine!
