The Complete Guide To Get Toned And Lean Arms

7. Pull-Ups

Pull-ups exercise the arms, upper and mid-back muscles by using the weight of your whole body. Follow these steps to properly target your arm muscles while doing pull-ups:

1. Grab the pull-up bar by placing your hands shoulder-width apart with your palms faced outward.
2. Tighten your abdominals, and keep your body as stable as you can.
3. Pull yourself in a fluid motion.
4. Raise yourself up past the bar as high as you can. Aim to get your chest all the way up to the bar.
5. Steadily lower yourself back down until your arms are hanging at full extension.
6. Do as many reps as you can. Shoot for a goal of increasing your max by one each time you do pull-ups.
