Arms exercises

Arms here means biceps, triceps, and forearms — elbow flexors, elbow extensors, and the wrist muscles that keep a bar from rolling out of the hand. Curls shorten the biceps through supination; hammer and reverse grips shift work to the brachialis and brachioradialis. Triceps work is extensions, close-grip presses, and dips, where the long head also crosses the shoulder. Forearm entries cover wrist curls, holds, and thick-grip variations. Compound lifts still appear when the catalog marks an arm muscle as the target, not merely a synergist. That keeps a close-grip bench on this hub and a wide bench on chest. Searchers asking for arm exercises usually want isolation plus the few compounds that actually bias the elbow. The cards stay grounded in equipment and muscle role rather than a pump program.
