Do you feel like your arms are not gaining more muscle? It might be time to modify your arm workout. Try some of these challenging arm exercises to improve your results.

Chin-ups use your body weight to create one of the most challenging upper body exercises. The exercise works your latissimus dorsi and biceps. However, during chin-ups your body flexes which creates isometric strength training, working your entire upper body.

Lying Tricep Extensions can increase the strength and size of your triceps, as well as improve flexibility in your arms. Be careful not to use too much weight or the exercise can harm your shoulders.

The Bench Press is essential for your upper-body workout. The exercise works the shoulders, back, chest, and arms. Be safe and use a spotter when you bench press.

Underhand Kickbacks are an isolation exercise for the tricep muscles. Good technique is vital to this exercise. Keep your upper body and arms stationery to get the best results.
- Standing Dumbbell Fly
The Standing Dumbbell Fly begins in the same squat position as Underhand Kickbacks. The difference is that you are pulling the dumbbells perpendicular to your body to work your shoulders and upper back.
