4 Tips on How to Make Arm Toning Exercises ULTRA Effective By Katherine Crawford

Have you been doing your arm toning exercises the average way? With the average way, you are most likely getting mediocre results. And who wants that?

If you are not using advanced techniques every so often, your results will come to a plateau. Period. You have to prevent this from happening if you ever want to get sexy arms.

Unfortunately, the female body is very smart, extremely smart. It adapts to any type of stimulus (including exercise) with lightening speed.

So today I am going to show you ways of doing arm toning exercises so that your body and arms don't adapt:

1. Negative repetitions. If you are doing a triceps press-down, for instance, the negative would be when the bar comes up. Negatives cause a lot of muscle breakdown which translates into faster results. But don't go overboard here or you may end up sore for over a week!

2. Drop it like it's hot sets. What are drop sets??? A series of 3 sets for the same exercise without any rest. You start with a heavy weight, then a lighter one and finally, the lightest one. Doing so will completely deplete your arms which translates into super fast toning.

3. Repetitions that are forced. How do you do more repetitions once your arms are completely depleted? With a partner of course! Have somebody help you do a couple more repetitions once your arm muscles are shot. Now make sure your form doesn't deviate even though you are depleted.

4. The five five cadence. What is five five? It refers to how much time you spend in the negative and positive portion of the movement. If you were doing triceps press-downs, for instance, you would spend five seconds pushing the bar down, and five seconds letting it up. Slow and painful, yet brutally effective!

Do not do your arm toning exercises with an average level of effort. If you do, you'll get average results. And who wants to be average? I'm sure you don't. Implement these advanced techniques and you'll take your arm workouts (and results) to the next level. Guaranteed.
