Every trainer out there will give you a different answer if you ask what the best exercise for toning a jiggly arm is. Even worse, some trainers will recommend dangerous exercises. When did arm exercises become so complicated?
And how are you supposed to know who to listen to? Unless you are a trained expert, there is no way for you to separate fact from fiction.
And if you want to get results as quickly as humanly possible, you need to take action immediately. You can’t afford to become another victim of information overload, also known as analysis paralysis. The good news is that I’ve already done all the analyzing and self-paralyzing for you.
Thus, today we shall review the triceps press down with a rope for getting rid of arm fat:
1. Summary: This exercise isolates the outer portion of your arm. It places a heavy emphasis on the lateral head of your triceps. So if you want to firm up this area, this exercise is a good choice.
2. Technique jump start: Find a rope attachment on a machine and grasp it with an overhand grip. Make sure to keep the elbows locked to your sides and tighten your abs. Bring the rope down in a controlled manner. Then, once you reach the bottom, let it slowly come back up.
3. Common errors: Allowing the upper body to hunch forward. Rocking back and forth to move the rope up and down. Not keeping the elbows locked to the sides. And not bringing the rope all the way down and all the way up.
4. Final word: The main issue with this exercise is an inability to use heavy weights because of the rope attachment. Having said that, it’s still above average. I would only include this exercise in an arm-toning routine for variety, and would not make it a staple.
To be quite honest, there is no golden exercise for toning the female arm. Certain exercises are definitely better than others, but even the best exercises will have slight limitations. So the best approach is to diversify your workouts with a variety of the top exercises.
Finally, make sure you don’t suffer from analysis paralysis. Take steps now and don’t obsess about analyzing all the details.
