Looking for a way to blast your arms using steel maces and kettlebells? Great. We have you covered. Check out our new Steel Mace & Kettlebell Arm Workout by Scott Viala below!
It’s a new year full of hope and promise. Across the world hordes of people are making new years resolutions and finding their way into the gym. I have been a certified personal trainer for over 13 years, and I have seen it all when it comes to that new year's rush and what people want to achieve for results in the gym.
So, what are some of the most common things people are looking for when they make it to the gym and set up a consultation? Well, first and foremost people what to lose weight. That’s standard, so let’s take a look at what men and women are looking for specifically.
Women want to grow a bigger butt (a future Viala Training blog is in the works. Highlighting how I help women get the curves they are looking for with the Steel Mace & Kettlebells).
Alright now what about the men? They want to grow bulging biceps and horseshoe triceps. So, today's video and blog will focus on the men that want those massive arms!
How to get bigger arms with steel maces and kettlebells
I think this is universal, no guy wants skinny little arms!! When wearing a t-shirt you want it filled out & form-fitting, not two little twigs that look like they are drowning in your sleeves!
But if you are like me, you train with steel maces & kettlebells and you stay away from the traditional arm day workouts. When people think about steel mace training, what are the first few things that come to mind?
Better mobility, flows, strong core & stabilizers...But, big & powerful arms is not what most people would think of. HOWEVER, when done properly, and under a heavy weight load, you can definitely build bigger biceps & triceps without your typical “Bro” arm day!
To grow your arms, you do not need to slave away trying to isolate your bi’s from every angle with machines, cables & dumbbells! All you need is a heavy Steel Mace & Kettlebell.
Whatever that looks like for you. Challenge yourself and step out of your comfort zone... but always remember to keep your form dialed in & your ego in check. We want those arms to grow, we do not want to throw out your back!!!
So, I challenge everyone to try this steel mace and kettlebell arm workout and feel your arm pump up like crazy as well as reap the benefits of everything the steel mace has to offer.
