Can You Lose Arm Fat With Wide Barbell Curls?

By Katherine Crawford M.S.

Unfortunately, there are way too many opinions on the best exercises for losing arm fat. And many women are completely lost amongst all the conflicting advice.

Perhaps you have become lost.

If so, I have the solution. How? I've been researching arm exercises for a very long time and I am ready to share my findings.

So here is my review of wide grip barbell curls for losing arm fat:

1. Snap shot: This is a great exercise for toning the inside part of the biceps. It can cause a little wrist strain so be careful here. And remember that the biceps muscle is the first part of your arm someone will see when greeting you from the front.

2. Technique: Find a barbell and grasp it with a wide grip. Maintain an erect posture and keep your abs very tight. Slowly raise the bar until it comes close to shoulder height. Then lower it. Repeat.

3. Frequent mistakes: Jerking the weight back once it's close to the top. Allowing the elbows to move around. Flexing and extending the forearms when contracting the muscle. Not keeping the chest up and shoulders back. And using momentum to get the barbell up.

4. Bottom line: This is an excellent exercise for toning the upper arms. Every women wishing to get sexy arms should make this exercise a staple. The only thing you have to watch out for is the wrist strain. So experiment with different grips and angles if it becomes an issue.

Losing arm fat with the right exercises shouldn't be like finding a needle in a haystack. Once you ignore all the marketing hype and stick to what has been proven by research, you'll get outstanding results. And remember, if an exercise is really flashy then you are better served steering clear of it. The best exercises are the basic ones done with intensity.
