The arms consist of four main muscle groups: shoulders, biceps, triceps, and forearms.
Among these, the forearms are located between the wrist and elbow, playing a key role in wrist movements and finger control.
Effective exercises for development emphasize movements such as wrist curls, which target these areas comprehensively.
While the best exercises are methodically suited to all individuals, adjustments in repetitions and weight are recommended based on generalized averages, such as 5’5”, 140lbs, 34 years old for women.
However, personal ability levels may vary and should be considered during workouts.
