Are Concentration Curls An Effective Exercise For Female Arm Toning Or A Waste Of Time?
Go to: Previous Article Next Article
When choosing arm exercises for women, you have to include biceps exercises if you want the best looking arms. Many women only do triceps exercises because that's where the arm flab hangs from.
Choosing the right triceps and biceps exercises can be extremely confusing, however. You see, every fitness buff has a different opinion. Many times, however, these opinions are subjective, not objective.
As a result, I've decided to restore the balance and analyze as many arm exercises for women as I can as often as I can. Hopefully, I'll save you a lot of time, and most importantly, the possibility of injury.
Without further delay, here is my analysis of the concentration curl:
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 then repeat the movement.
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. Final word: Don't do this exercise because working out one arm at a time is a poor use of time. And time is limited, especially in this day and age. Most importantly, however, it's impossible to use heavy weights with this exercise which means it won't give you fast results.
So now you know two things about arm exercises for women. One, you should be doing biceps exercises and two, you shouldn't be doing concentration curls.
One more thing: make sure you take action on this information quickly. You see, information that is not acted upon is usually forgotten.
