If you have weak or under developed arms you will have a very difficult time with any other upper body exercises.

Your upper arms, more than almost any other muscle group, will get the most positive or negative comments from people, depending of course on the over-all development of your upper arms.

For most people, both men and women, upper arm development can really draw attention to your over-all physique and can have either a positive or negative affect on your self-confidence.

If your upper arms are thin and weak, or just plain flabby you won't feel as comfortable as you could if your upper arms were firm, toned & lean.

For any upper arm exercises to work, whether it's biceps exercises or triceps exercises, you have to use a variety of upper arm exercises in different combinations in order for your upper arms to develop - regardless of what goals you have with your upper arm exercises.

For most people, both men and women, the main reason for a lack of good upper arm development is due to a lack of variation and periodization.

By incorporating specific upper arm exercises at specific times over the duration of your exercise program you will be able to not only prevent over-training but you will be affecting all the different parts of your upper arm muscles.

This leads to a much greater level of success.

The list of exercises for your upper arm muscles that you can do is almost endless. You can do dozens of different upper arm exercises with free weights, different exercises for your upper arm muscles with numerous types of machines, different upper arm exercises with body weight, and on-and-on.

You can also perform almost any exercises for your upper arm muscles in a seated, standing, incline bench or lying down position.

Unfortunately most people don't realize that a lot of upper arm exercises stress your arms in the same manner and as such, upper arm exercises that do this should not be used in the same arm workout.

For proper upper arm development you need to use certain upper arm exercises that hit your arms from every possible angle for full muscle fiber recruitment.

Here is a short list of the more productive upper arm exercises. There are many more than this but this will help you get started.
