The Best Workout To Build Bigger Arms in 30 Days
One of the most popular body parts people like to train is their arms. In order to do so, get ready to do some hard work. You'll have to build strength in compound movements such as presses and rows. Be aware, you also need to train them directly with the right exercises. The arms respond well to movements that create a high amount of tension in them, which will also drive blood flow and helps increase the size. We're here with the best workout to build bigger arms in 30 days, so read on.
Your arms are a smaller muscle group compared to your chest, back, and legs. For this reason, you can train them multiple times over the course of the week. If your goal is to get them bigger, I recommend working on them a minimum of two to three times per week.
Below is a stellar arm workout to perform during the week to reach your goal. Do these exercises as a standalone session or after an upper-body day. Keep reading to learn how you can build bigger arms, and next up, check out Build Up Your Boulder Shoulders With These 5 Exercises, Trainer Says.
Incline Dumbbell Curl
Start off with an incline dumbbell curl. While lying flat on an incline bench, grab a pair of dumbbells with your palms facing up and your arms completely extended. Keeping your elbows tucked against your sides, curl the weights up, flexing your biceps hard at the top. As you lower the weight, resist by using your biceps and get a good stretch at the bottom. Perform three to four sets of 10 to 12 reps.

Start this rope cable French press by setting up the cable pulley at the lowest height with a rope attachment. Grab the rope with both hands, then spin around and bring it above your head so that it's behind you.

Come all the way down before performing another rep. Perform three to four sets of 12 to 15 reps.
