Unfortunately, there are an excess of opinions on which exercises are best for losing arm flab.
In fact, there is too much advice for any sane person to make a quick and accurate decision. Lots of women are victims of information overload when it comes to getting rid of arm flab.
So without further delay, here is my review of machine triceps extensions for reducing flabby arms:
1. Overview: I strongly believe that this is one of the best exercises for directly targeting the area where arm fat resides. And the best part is that you can go heavy with minimal risk of injury. Few exercises allow you to do this!
2. Technique: Grab the machines bar with an overhand grip while you face away. Keep your arms behind your head (lower neck level) and dig into the ground very hard with your heels. Extend your arms to full lockout. Then slowly lower the bar.
3. Frequent mistakes: Allowing the back to fall out of alignment. Not keeping the elbows frozen in place. Allowing the head to dip forward. And pushing against the machines bar after the triceps have reached the point of absolute fatigue.
4. To do or not to do: Any women wishing to reduce flabby arms should do this exercise on a regular basis with heavy weights. And remember that heavy weights will produce the fastest results. The good news is that you can go heavy with this exercise and have very little risk of injury. Not too many exercises will allow you to do this.
Knowing which exercises give you the biggest bang for your buck will save you lots of time and energy. And most importantly, they will keep you motivated through continual results. After all, if you are getting good results you’re more likely to stick with your program.
