Arm workout tips to sculpt 'trophy arms' without the high price tag
Key Points:
- Some women spend up to $20,000 on sculpted "trophy arms," but NYC fitness trainer Marfred Suazo, aka Fonz the Trainer, says targeted at-home workouts and proper nutrition offer a more affordable alternative.
- Suazo emphasizes that building well-proportioned arms requires the right exercise selection, controlled movements, and nutrition rather than daily workouts or focusing solely on size.
- He recommends combining compound exercises like pull-ups and rows with targeted movements such as lateral raises and triceps extensions, training arms two to three times weekly with adequate recovery.
- Controlled, deliberate movements using a full range of motion are key to muscle growth, and lighter weights can be effective if exercises are challenging enough.
- Proper nutrition, especially protein intake spread over three to four meals daily, supports muscle building and reveals the physical results of training.
