The upper body is the most exposed, and it is involved in almost every job in daily life. Therefore, it is particularly important to exercise attractive and strong upper body muscles. Arm exercise can make boys with thick arms look more stylish and stronger, and make girls with slender arms more confident. Take off short sleeves and put on suspenders.
When it comes to building upper body strength, what kind of equipment should we use? Dumbbell? Barbell? Of course these are all possible, but I can think of much more than that, resistance bands are also a very good choice. Let's learn how to train upper body with resistance band!
Triceps exercises
Pump type
1. Stand up straight with proper posture. Place the rubber band exercise equipment over your right shoulder and secure with your left hand. Adjust your right hand grip on the professional resistance bands until you get the desired resistance. When the resistance band is in place, tilt it slightly, as if pushing down on a pump.
2. Slowly push your right arm down. Slowly return to the starting position and repeat, then switch to the other side.
Horizontal triceps extension
1. Sit or stand with proper posture. Grasp the exercise arm bands with both hands at chest height, about shoulder-width apart. Lift your elbows out, keeping your arms parallel to the ground.
2. Keeping the position of the right hand unchanged, slowly straighten the left arm outward. Slowly return to the starting position and repeat, then switch to the other arm.
Biceps exercises

1.

2. Pull the resistance band and bar with the right arm across the chest and pull the elbow to the right. Slowly return to the starting position and repeat, then switch to the other arm.
Forearm exercises
forearm flexion and extension
1. Grasp one end of the exercise resistance bands set with your left hand, and place your left foot in a position that provides sufficient resistance to fix the resistance band. Extend your arms forward, palms facing up.
2. Slowly roll up the palms toward the body. Pause, slowly return to the starting position and repeat, then switch sides.
3. Extend your arms forward, palms down.
4. Raise the back of your hand toward your body. Slowly return to the starting position and repeat, then switch to the other arm.
There is also an easily overlooked but very important part of the upper body! That's our shoulder. The shoulder is one of the most commonly used parts during exercise. Practicing the shoulder muscles can not only be more handy during exercise, but also improve stability and prevent injuries.
