The triceps actually make up 60 percent of your upper arm size and your bracelets along with your biceps make up the other 40 percent so these three muscles are very important to train and develop to get bigger arms. And while we can come up with all different creative ways to target these muscles, there’s no doubt that certain exercises will help you get the job done faster and more efficiently than others. Many of these are simple exercises that have been around for a very long time, and the reason they’ve been able to survive the test of time is that they’re so incredibly effective at helping your arms grow. So these are the 8 arm exercises that you absolutely should be doing if you want to add inches to your arms.
