Question

Are there any other ways to gain arm strength?

Community Answer

Push-ups and pull-ups are great ways to start! If push-ups are too easy, progress to explosive push-ups. If the pull-ups become easy as well, try muscle-ups!

Question

Can push ups build my arm muscle fast?

Community Answer

Push ups are great exercises but depending on the type of push up you do, you are training mostly the long-head triceps and your shoulder.

Question

Which exercise should I use for arm strength for sprinters?

Community Answer

Cross fit definitely helps because you already are a sprinter where cross fit includes a total body exercise and is quite beneficial. If you just want stronger arms, you can do curls and other arm exercises.

Question

How does this work for kids too?

Community Answer

Try water filled milk jugs. Start with 1/2 gallon size. If filled to capacity it will weigh about 4 pounds. Mark progress with marker. Graduate to gallon size when you're ready.

Question

Are these workouts good for softball or baseball?

Raphael Key

Top Answerer

Yes, they are good workouts for softball or baseball because you use your arms to swing the bat to hit the ball. Stronger arms will mean that your swing will be stronger and faster. Look forward to a home run or two after working out your arms!
