Fitness expert advised exercises for pumping arm muscles

Fitness trainer Alexander Kalagur advised exercises for pumping the muscles of the hands. His words are reported by “Championship”.

Kalagur suggested starting with pull-ups with a reverse grip. To do this, grab the horizontal bar so that your palms are facing you. With the effort of the biceps, you need to pull yourself up as high as possible, and then lower yourself, while not extending your arms to the end. The exercise is performed in four sets with the maximum possible number of repetitions.

The expert also advised to perform extension of the arms on a low crossbar. Starting position – place your hands a little narrower than your shoulders, move away from the horizontal bar so that the angle between the body and arms is straight. Then you need to go down as much as possible, keeping the narrow position of the elbows, and then fully straighten your arms. The exercise is performed in four sets of 15-20 repetitions.

Further, Kalagur recommended doing reverse push-ups. The exercise is performed on the lowest horizontal bar. Starting position – sit with your back to the horizontal bar, put your feet on the floor, make a narrow grip with your hands from behind. Next, you need to go down as close to the horizontal bar as possible and go up. The exercise is also performed in four sets of 15-20 repetitions.

Earlier, Russian fighter Eduard Kuzminov said that Rocky pull-ups are an excellent exercise for developing arm strength. The main feature of this exercise is that the lifts are performed alternately behind and in front of the horizontal bar.
