There are many exercises to increase your arm size that don't require you to use weights. You can even use cans of soup and water bottles to weight your arms. For large muscle gains, you will need to work your arms to failure. These techniques aren’t for beginners but can still be very useful. These are some tips to help you build arm muscles. (*) Perform the following exercises at home to build arm muscles.

o Leg swing: Begin by standing with your arms bent, and then lift your palms on each side. You should move in a circular motion, keeping your feet planted. You should squeeze your biceps while doing the exercise and keep your core tight. Hold a barbell above your head, then bend your knees at a 90-degree angle. Hold the weights in your hands and pull them towards each other.

* The Leg Swing: This involves moving one leg backward and lifting the other. Concentrate on your triceps and not the biceps while performing leg swings. Handstands require you to keep the weight above your head. Be sure to hold the biceps as tightly as possible, then slowly lower them to your head. These exercises are also effective at building larger arms without the use of weights.

o The handstand: You place one arm behind your head and the other behind your body. You will need to use the other arm to support it. To do this, you'll need to stand straight up and hold your other arm. Your forearms will have a harder time supporting your weight. This will allow you to strengthen your biceps as well as your arms. So, try to hold a vacuum cleaner with your other hand and perform biceps curls with one arm.

The armstand: This classic exercise is for larger arms. You can also use dumbbells or other equipment at the house. A brick, soup can or water bottle are all good options. You can do this exercise with just one hand as long as your back is straight and your body parallel. It will strengthen your biceps and improve your overall body posture.

One-arm pullups: One arm pushups are the best way for your biceps to grow without weights. This exercise requires you to extend your elbows and use the biceps for support. This will force you to use your biceps as support. You can also do it with just one arm if you are having trouble. The handstand is a great arm exercise and will make you look attractive.
