Arms Workout To Build Mass Beginner Workout 2020

All right guys, today we’re gonna specifically be focusing on our bicep and our tricep, which are antagonist muscles. Antagonist muscles are muscle groups that oppose each other. Meaning, while one is contracted, the other one will be stretched. For example, when we do a ring curl, we will be isolating our bicep and relaxing our tricep, and then stretching our tricep, at the point of flexion. The benefits of training your antagonist muscles are that it’s gonna increase the oxygen and blood flow in your muscles, which is gonna help muscle growth and recovery. It’s also gonna help reduce the risk of injury by ensuring that you have a good muscular balance on both sides of your arm. With that being said, let’s get started. 

Diamond Pushups

We’re gonna start off with diamond push-ups. We’re gonna go for 12. So, with these, you want to make sure that you have your hands centred with your chest, so you’re activating that tricep more. Rather than having it down here, you’re gonna be targeting your chest more. But lean back, centre your hands with your chest, you go down. Full-extension, guys. 

Behind Head Chin-ups

We’re gonna go for 10. All right guys, you want to make sure to squeeze that tricep for better muscle activation, which is also gonna help stretch that bicep, and get it ready for the next exercise.

Arm Ring Curls

We have one arm ring curls. We’re saving the best for last. So, with this exercise, it’s very advanced, so you want to find an angle that challenges you. This exercise is very challenging because we’re isolating one arm. The position you’re in affects the difficulty. For instance, the lower your body is the harder the exercise is gonna become to curl, so you wanna make sure you find an angle that challenges you, but where you’re able to do it. Let’s go for five each arm. You wanna lean back, make sure your body is completely aligned. Stretch that tricep. Flex that bicep all the way up.
