Big Body Building Tips

It seems that getting toned arms has become more of an art than a science because many women have fallen prey to the art of marketing spin instead of listening to the science of exercise principles.

I know because I used to be one of them.

To make matters even more confusing, sometimes the science isn’t clear and it has to be interpreted. And human interpretation is subject to error.

Having said that, not all hope is lost in your quest to get toned arms because I’ve been sifting through the ambiguity for quite some time now. And I’m ready to share.

Thus, here is my analysis of seated ez-bar triceps extensions for getting toned arms:

1. Summary: If you have the right anatomical angle at your elbow joint and if you have the luxury of a workout partner, this exercise is outstanding. For most women, however, this is not a good exercise for toning the triceps.

2. How to do it: Find a bench with lower back support. Grab an ez-bar with an overhand grip. Sit on the bench while keeping your arms in a vertical position. Dig into the ground with your heels and keep your abs very tight. Slowly lower the bar to the bottom of your neck, then raise it.

3. Most common errors: Letting the elbows bow in and out. Allowing the back to bend out of alignment. Not keeping the abs extremely tight and ignoring wrist pain.

4. Bottom line: Because of the difficulty in getting a heavy ez-bar overhead and because of the stress on the elbow joint, I do not recommend this exercise for the majority of women. However, you could experiment with it and see how your body reacts.

If you want toned arms please do not put your body at risk. After all, a serious injury can set back your flabby arms mission by many steps. Even worse, a serious injury to your joints can permanently shut down your sexy arm quest. So stay safe and never give up!
