Michelle Obama's Arms

There's been a lot of chatter about First Lady Michelle Obama's arms and yes, they're pretty impressive.

Here's an article that talks about how to get those arms into "show off" shape like hers.

I'm not a huge fan of using resistance bands, especially when it comes to isolation exercises such as bicep curls. But I like the advice that you need to challenge the muscles with a heavy enough weight to get the biceps and triceps to grow using rows and pushups (and the article doesn't mention it but, don't forget about dips.

Remember, if you want to get your muscles to grow even in places such as your arms, you need to do exercises that use a lot of muscle groups in order to get that hormone release that is going to be more of a factor in building muscle then doing isolation exercises (check here for a post where I talk about doing squats to help build your arms for a more thorough explanation).

Have a good weekend everyone.
