Every trainer out there will give you a different answer if you ask what the best exercise for toning a jiggly arm is. Even worse, some trainers will recommend dangerous exercises. When did arm exercises become so complicated?
How do you decide what opinion to act upon if you aren't an expert in the field? Well, there really is no good answer to this question.
Unfortunately, if you want sexy arms now and not later, you need the facts. Luckily for you, I've spent my life gathering the facts. I am going to save you a lot of time and energy.
So without further ado, here is my analysis of the tricep press-down (with a rope) for toned and sexy arms:
1. Snapshot: this exercise isolates the lateral head of your triceps. The lateral head forms the outer part of your upper arm. Although you can't use a lot of weight when doing this exercise, it still does a relatively good job at working the triceps.
2. Technique jump start: Find a rope attachment on a machine and grasp it with an overhand grip. Make sure to keep the elbows locked to your sides and tighten your abs. Bring the rope down in a controlled manner. Then, once you reach the bottom, let it slowly come back up. Repeat.
3. Common errors: Allowing the upper body to hunch forward. Rocking back and forth to move the rope up and down. Not keeping the elbows locked to the sides. And not bringing the rope all the way down and all the way up.
4. Bottom line. Ok, this exercise is definitely above average. However, you can't use heavy weights because of the rope. It simply does not allow you to substantially increase the load. And for the fastest toning, you need maximal loads. This exercise gets 3.5 out of 5 stars.
Don't expect to find a single best exercise for getting rid of arm fat. Instead, you should focus on doing a combination of top-tier arm exercises for the best results. Each exercise will have some type of drawback or limitation. So it's in your best interest to do a combination of only the best.
