Having an idea of which exercises are a waste of time is just as important as having an idea of which exercises are the best. Unfortunately, some of the most prescribed arm exercises are extremely ineffective.
Why does this happen?
The truth is that, in this case, tradition has clouded common sense. It's all too common for women to blindly do what the so called experts have been recommending.
The good news is that I've been figuring all this stuff out for quite some time now. And I'm ready to share my knowledge because I believe that every woman deserves sexy arms.
Thus, here is my critique of triceps kickbacks for reducing flabby arms:
1. Summary: This is probably the most overrated triceps exercise out there. Seriously. I think this exercise is a waste of time for two main reasons. First, exercising one arm at a time is extremely inefficient. Second, you can't use heavy weights when doing this exercise. And heavy weights are critical for the fastest arm toning.
2. How to do it: Keep your knees slightly bent and lean forward. Place one hand on a bench. Use your other hand to grab a dumbbell and align your arm along the torso. Lift the dumbbell by extending your arm. Then slowly lower it.
3. Frequent errors: Heave hoeing the weight up and down. Allowing the elbows to shift around. And not going all the way up and all the way down with the dumbbell.
4. Final word: I know a lot of women do this exercise and a lot of trainers recommend it, but this doesn't mean that you should do it. In fact, this is the most overrated exercise for toning the triceps area.
Having an effective selection of arm toning exercises for your workouts is critical for flabby arm success. Anything less would be a waste of time. So never do what everybody else is doing without first questioning the practice. Only then will you get sexy and lean arms!
