Here are some exercises to try.
The biceps curl and shoulder press could be an effective workout combination to explore. To perform this exercise, stand with feet shoulder-width apart as you place your arms at your sides. Then hold dumbbells of light to moderate weight, depending on what you are comfortable with, in each hand. Perform a biceps curl by bringing the weights toward your shoulders as you maintain keeping your elbows close to your body. Then lift the weights directly over your shoulders and slowly lower the dumbbells back to shoulder height and continue lowering until you return to the starting position.
Explore the versatility of bodyweight exercises with dips. This workout targets the triceps while engaging the shoulders and chest muscles. You can do this in a seated position on the ground or use a bench or chair. To perform this workout, sit on a chair's edge with feet grounded, palms down, and hands beneath the shoulders on the chair's edge. Next, bend your elbows until you feel a slight stretch to lower your body. Then press back up using the triceps muscles. While it could be effective when done right, avoid doing this exercise if you have shoulder issues.
A close-grip variation of a traditional chest press could help target the triceps muscles more effectively. For this workout, choose a lighter weight compared to what one usually uses for a standard chest press. To perform this workout, lying on the floor and hold a dumbbell in each hand. Make sure to places your arms at your sides and keep your knees bent. Next, bend your arms, and bring your hands toward your shoulders as you maintain a close grip with palms facing each other. Engage your triceps as you extend your arms overhead. Hold it at the top for a while before you slowly transition to the starting position.
Improve your cardiovascular health and upper body strength with kickboxing moves. This workout could be an invigorating one for your core. To perform this workout, stand with your feet hip-width apart and place your arms at your sides. Then bend your knees slightly as you place your arms in front of your body. Your hands should be in fists just below your jawline. Next, tighten your fists and biceps, and execute a punching motion with your right arm across your body. Make sure to extend your body fully as you activate your core and pause. Then retract your arm while keeping your bicep engaged. Perform this on the other side for a balanced workout. Aim to do about two to three sets of 15 reps on either side to achieve the best results.
This plan variation is designed to intensify bicep engagement. To do this exercise, get in a plank position and plank your hands under your elbows. Make sure to keep your elbows close to your body. Next, create a 90-degree angle by rolling forward on your toes and bending your elbows. Gently touch your rib cage with your elbows and maintain a straight line. Try to hold this position for at least 20 to 30 seconds.
