Before we dive into the list of the best arm machines at the gym, let’s take a moment and evaluate the reasons why we should use machines to develop stronger arms.
Now let’s see which exercise machines are best to use in the gym during arm training:
1. Cable trainer.
One of the main benefits of cable machines is that you increase the time under tension, which leads to faster muscle fatigue and ultimately greater hypertrophy and muscle growth. On it you can perform:
- Cable crunches.
- Cable crunches with one hand.
- Triceps kickback.
- Cable push-ups…
2. Pull-up machine.
It helps people who are not strong enough to do multiple sets of pull-ups. Both classic pull-ups (palms facing away from the body) and chin-ups (palms facing the body) are great for building strength in the biceps, as well as the shoulders and upper back. You will also train your grip muscles in your forearms, which play an important role in your arm strength and endurance.
3. Gym dip bars.
When you bend over, your triceps lift your entire body weight and work through a natural range of motion to develop functional strength.
4. Seated push-up machine.
With this machine, you press down on a weighted lever/bar to lift weights from a seated position. This is the same concept as push-ups, just lower the weight down and away from you rather than lifting the weight up and away from a stationary object.
5. Preacher crunch machine.
Preacher curls isolate your biceps by supporting your arms on an incline bench, forcing you to only use your biceps to curl the barbell upward, without allowing any swinging movements or shoulder involvement.
6. Triceps extension machine.
By placing your hands on the pad/brace, it isolates your triceps while performing extensions. Isolation and increased time spent under tension leads to better triceps recruitment and fatigue faster, helping you build those triceps muscles that give your arm the most thickness.
7. Smith simulator.
You can use the Smith machine for a tried-and-true classic exercise: the curl pullout. In this exercise, you essentially lift the barbell up the front of your body, moving your elbows back to accommodate the movement. It can also be used for triceps-focused exercises. For example, bench press with a large grip.
