The arm workout plan includes some of the best arm exercises for an at home workout. Exercises like the hammer curl and concentration curl target the biceps. Dumbbell reverse curls and dumbbell bench wrist curls work the forearms. Tone your triceps with dumbbell kickbacks and standing dumbbell tricep extensions.

So, how often should you train your arms if you are looking for optimal muscle growth? You can train arms between 2-6 times per week. The more frequently you train arms, the less you should do per day. If you train arms twice per week, you’ll do 2-3 exercises per session with 3-4 total sets.

No body part grows by beating it every day—you need to rest to let your arms recover. In the hours after a workout, your muscles lose strength and power as they heal; after 36-48 hours, the muscle actually gets stronger, which is a process called “supercompensation”. You must give yourself rest.

Do your arm workout two days per week with two to three days off in between each one. For example,work out on Tuesdays and Fridays.

Pushups and bench dips are effective exercises for firming the triceps on the back of the upper arm. Arm circles are great for targeting the shoulder muscles at the very top of the arm, while chinups can be performed at home to firm the biceps muscles.

Chin-ups, pullups and pushups are the best exercises to strengthen your arms and shoulders as well as improve motor coordination and core stability. The classic military-style pushup requires no equipment and will blast your upper body, including your arms.
