The 3 Best Arm Exercises According to Of Tyrants & Tellers
These are the 3 best arm exercises for me at the moment because they “work” for me right now.
This could change next week. This could change months from now as explained by the #1 rule for bodybuilding success.
Triceps
Not only is this my all-time favorite tricep exercise, but it is also one of my favorite all-time exercises for any body part.
This movement make sense because it allows for maximum muscle fiber recruitment while minimizing involvement of any secondary muscles. In other, this movement hit all three heads of the triceps and that’s it.
Biceps
This bicep movement makes sense because it hits the entire bicep while minimizing use of secondary muscles. You’re not relying on your forearms of front delts in this movements, as is common in bicep exercises done in the upright position. On top of that, this is the best movement for building overall mass while focusing on bicep peak.
Forearms
This is the best exercise for overall forearm development because the movement is so simple. It’s hard to cheat on this exercise because all you are doing is curling your wrist up and down. Hence, the name “cable wrist curl.” When done with perfect form and heavy weight, this movement will strengthen your grip and “thicken” your forearms.

I like supplementing a supination component to bicep curls. In anatomy, we learn the primary motion of the biceps is to supinate. Also, weighted dips, when done a certain way, will massively hit the tricep heads. Unfortunately, I don’t see enough people doing dips.
Yea there’s definitely a ton of ways to play around with the form on curls.
Yea dips are the best exercise for upper body. They build that “heroic” look.
Hey,
“when done a certain way” can you elaborate?
Also when I do dips they tend to hurt my shoulder – tbf I’ve never done them consistently enough simply because my shoulders feel uncomfortable (not just sore, they actually get cranky) doing them. And I’ve never had shoulder problems with other lifts or in general. Any ideas to solve/get around this?
Try incorporating resistance bands movements.
