Toned Arms With Wide Grip Barbell Curls

Are you having a hard time choosing the right exercises for losing that loose arm fat? Is all the advice out there confusing you? Well, I suspect that most women are utterly paralyzed by all the information overload.

Maybe you are frustrated with all the advice.

If this is the case, please do not start to panic. After all, I’ve spent a large portion of my professional career investigating the best arm exercises for women.

So without further ado, here is my critique of wide-grip curls for reducing fat arms:

1. Snap shot: This is a great exercise for toning the inside part of the biceps. It can cause a little wrist strain so be careful here. And remember that the biceps muscle is the first part of your arm someone will see when greeting you from the front.

2. Technical jump start: Stand erect with your core contracted. Grab a barbell with a wide underhand grip. Raise the weight in a controlled manner. Then slowly lower it.

3. Frequent mistakes: Jerking the weight back once it’s close to the top. Allowing the elbows to move around. Flexing and extending the forearms when contracting the muscle. Not keeping the chest up and shoulders back. And using momentum to get the barbell up.

4. Final word: You should do this exercise frequently for maximum arm toning. It’s a great tool for toning the upper arm area when done with perfect form. Just make sure that you experiment with different grips if your wrists begin to hurt.

Losing arm fat with the right exercises shouldn’t be like finding a needle in a haystack. Once you ignore all the marketing hype and stick to what has been proven by research, you’ll get outstanding results. And remember, if an exercise is really flashy then you are better served steering clear of it. The best exercises are the basic ones done with intensity.
