Training arms can be a challenge: as much as you focus on upper body exercises, seeing improvements is not always easy. However, the important thing is not to give up.

That’s because what might be happening are small mistakes that are getting in the way of your goal. But they can be easily bypassed. Check out:

Mistakes when conquering defined arms

You are not working any muscles.

According to physical education professional and personal trainer Caio Franco, when you train to define your body, the entire region is demanded (in this case, the upper limbs). “That’s why you have to work all your muscles,” he explains.

Why not, then, bet on movements like push-ups or kettlebell squats, which also help burn calories (and fat)? Talk to your instructor.

You are not putting enough load on the exercise

Many people (mainly women) do not increase the load of exercises for the upper limbs for fear of making the region too “strong”. Experts say this is nothing more than a myth.

It is the high loads (combined with the correct execution), by the way, that will define your arms. “And if you combine the strategy with a diet to dry out, you will have even more apparent muscles”, he says.

Your diet is inadequate

As already mentioned, nutrition is extremely important for those looking to gain muscle mass and lose fat (ie, more definition). “Often, it represents 60% of the entire process”, says Caio Franco.
So maybe it’s time to consult a nurture to define a diet that’s best suited for you!
