You may have seen
people with big Straps hanging around from the neck while they perform Bicep
curls. Many of you would've wondered 'what kind of gimmick is this?' But in reality
arms blasters aren't gimmicked.
These have been
around for years now and have been used by professional’s athletes and
bodybuilders. Despite their goofy look, they are not gimmicked.
An arm blaster is
a lightweight gym gear, just like Powerlifting
belts, but is typically worn while performing bicep curls. It's ragged
before the body with a customizable lash that lays on the back of the
neck/shoulder area. An arm blaster powers the elbows before the lifter's torso
while they curl, just as help keep the elbows stationary all through the
exercise.
Does The Arm Blaster Really Work?
Arm blasters were
a well-known exercise among the weight training community, going back to the
1970s, yet have dropped in popularity since. Due to this decline in popularity,
they're viewed as outdated. In any case, the standards of the arm
blaster are still exceptionally prominent today.
Current
bodybuilders still use the "elbows in front" method while they curl
as preacher curls and spider curls. preacher curls include performing curls
while your elbows lay on what is known as a "preacher bench", while
spider curls use an inclined seat that the individual lays their chest on while
their arms hang in front and curl the weight.
Despite the arm
blaster being considered as "old school" or "infamous",
it's a better alternative in some ways to the preacher curl and spider curl
exercises.
