Have you been doing your arm toning exercises the average way? If so, you are most likely getting average results. And who wants that?
You can forget about abs in 10 minutes, or 30lbs in 10 days. Seriously. Now don't get me wrong, it is possible to get accelerate results. BUT you have to apply a lot of intensity in the right way to do so.
Unfortunately, the female body is very smart, extremely smart. It adapts to any type of stimulus (including exercise) with lightening speed.
So today I am going to show you how to manipulate your arm toning exercises so that your body doesn't adapt:
1. Focusing on the negative portion of an exercise. The negative portion is when the muscle lengthens. In other words, when it is not contracting. This can be described as when the weight comes up. You need a partner to help you do the positive portion (the contraction) and you should do the negative portion all by yourself.
2. Drop it like it's hot sets: What are drop sets??? A series of 3 sets for the same exercise without any rest. You start with a heavy weight, then a lighter one and finally, the lightest one. Doing so will completely deplete your arms which translates into super fast toning.
3. Repetitions that are forced. How do you do more repetitions once your arms are completely depleted? With a partner of course! Have somebody help you do a couple more repetitions once your arm muscles are shot. Now make sure your form doesn't deviate even though you are depleted.
4. Using a 5/5 tempo or cadence. If you are doing a biceps curl, for instance, you would spend 5 seconds bringing the barbell up and another 5 seconds bringing it down. Why is this so effective? Because you are putting your arm muscles under constant tension. It will burn like nothing else, but it will also get you faster results like nothing else.
Do not do your arm toning exercises with an average level of effort. If you do, you'll get average results. And who wants to be average? I'm sure you don't. Implement these advanced techniques and you'll take your arm workouts (and results) to the next level. Guaranteed.
