Why Can't I Get Sexy Arms?

As a rule of the thumb, the arms, and especially the biceps and triceps, score high on the list of the sexiest body parts in the male body. A gesture as simple as rolling up your sleeves could attract the envious looks of numerous admirers. Indeed, the gesture, firstly, can transform a stressful or uncomfortable situation into a more casual meeting. There’s something inherently friendly and relax in rolled up sleeves. However, if you want a strong forearm game, you need to spend a lot of time working out your arms – you can have strong forearms without building up muscles throughout the entire area. Indeed, your forearms are not the typical muscle area – they don’t compare to big biceps – but you can’t work them out separately. In other words, if you want to turn heads when rolling up your sleeves, you need to put the work into it, from shoulder to wrist. But more than your workout, it’s your entire attitude you need to improve!

Arm workouts

Make it muscle-centered

Showing off your arms is based on the combination of two essential factors:

1. Building bigger and stronger arms
2. Ensuring you can shed fat to highlight your muscle gains

To put things clearly, you can’t separate your workout from your diet. If you want the best possible results, you need to stick to a strict workout plan and follow a diet program that actively targets fat loss. For instance, while you know that protein is a critical element of weight gain, you need to be careful about increasing your protein intake. Instead, you want to focus your attention on choosing the right type of protein to maintain a lean physique despite increasing your muscle mass.

Track your progression

Hard work takes time. So it’s important to stay motivated even though you’re not seeing results overnight – the truth is, you won’t see positive results before several weeks! But, you can keep track of your excellent work. Using photos to monitor the evolution of your arms can be a helpful strategy to notice changes.  Indeed, the eye can’t perceive gradual transformations – which is why you might not feel any different in the mirror. But you can take a selfie every week to track your results. Additionally, you can boost your motivation by putting your arms on display – with brands such as Bamboo Cay showcasing your biceps. You can be sure that positive comments will come flowing in your direction!

Common problems with arm workouts

Last, but not least, working hard is one thing, but working correctly is a completely different kettle of fish. If you don’t notice any positive results despite your regular sessions at the gym, you might want to check that your moves are correct. Indeed, if you drop your dumbbells instead of lowering them, you may not build sufficient bicep strength. Additionally, small curls might not increase your biceps strength enough! Always curl up to your nose for better results as it engages your shoulder too, which keeps the head of the bicep contracted and works your forearms.


To make the most of your arm workouts, you need a lot more than endurance and physical strength. Reducing the fat content in your body while training your arm will ensure quicker results. But you can also monitor your progress through photos, and clothes fit while perfecting your moves.
