Why are your arms so thin no matter how you train them?

The most important thing may be that when you train your arms, It's not strength training, it's aerobic exercise. Aerobic exercise has the effect of losing fat, while strength training increases muscle. If you train your arms through aerobic exercise, then of course your arms will be very thin. Only strength training will make your arms thicker.

How to train arm muscles

First of all, you need to set aside 1 hour of training, usually on the weekend or another day off. It’s just the right time to give your arms a good rest the next day, and of course you can also do some leg training! You'll complete 5 supersets throughout the day, dividing the hour into five 12-minute blocks. You'll do 1-3 biceps and triceps supersets every 12 minutes. Of course, 12 minutes is more than enough, so you can rest until starting your next workout.

Choose your weight appropriately. You must start training with a lighter weight and then gradually increase the weight. Do not blindly pursue heavy weights and then gradually reduce the weight. The weight used in each training exercise will be different. Strength training tears muscle fibers, and the body repairs itself and the muscles grow in size so they can handle the weight better.

This swelling will last for a week, but this plan is not to trick you into thinking you are gaining muscle. All you're doing is forcing moisture into your arms. Inflammation will lead to some muscle gains, but only in harder, dry muscles. Combined with several movements, muscle protein synthesis will be significantly enhanced, so as long as you continue to work hard, your muscles will continue to grow.
