Full Arm Workout (3 sets of 8-12 repetitions each exercise):
Bicep Exercises:
- Dumbbell Bicep Curl: This is a versatile exercise that works the entire bicep muscle. You can adjust the weight of the dumbbells for your fitness level.
- Hammer Curl: This exercise targets the brachialis muscle, which is located on the inner side of the bicep. You can use dumbbells or canned goods for this exercise at home.
Tricep Exercises:
- Overhead Tricep Extension: This exercise works all three heads of the triceps. You can use dumbbells, a barbell, or a resistance band if you don’t have weights.

Optional: Forearm Exercises (2-3 sets of 15-20 repetitions each):
- Wrist Curls: This exercise strengthens the grip. You can use dumbbells or a barbell.
- Reverse Wrist Curls: This exercise strengthens the wrist extensors. You can use dumbbells or a barbell.
Cool-down (5-10 minutes):

Rest and Progression:
- Rest for 60-90 seconds between sets of each exercise.
- Rest for 1-2 minutes between each exercise group (biceps, triceps, forearms).
- As you get stronger, increase the weight, sets, reps, or decrease rest time between sets.
Important Note:
- Proper form is crucial to prevent injury. Choose a weight that allows you to maintain good form throughout the entire set.
- If you’re new to exercise, consult with a certified personal trainer to learn proper technique.
