Looking Beyond Your Biceps

You must train more than just the muscles you can see in the mirror. While everyone likes to have nice arms (biceps/triceps), a defined chest and abs, focusing only on these areas will not do much to help you build the physique you desire. 

You see when you focus on specific muscles you tend to favor isolation exercises, such as bicep curls, chest flies, delt raises, and ab crunches. These exercises are not very efficient for the results most people are looking for. The average person needs to lose some body fat and build some muscle. In order to achieve this you need to focus on the whole body and use multi-joint exercises, such as squats, rows, lunges, push-ups, deadlifts, and pull-ups. These types of exercises will burn more fat, build larger amounts of defining muscle to give you that sculpted look you desire.

So while the isolation exercises may work well for bodybuilders who have hours to spend in the gym each day. They are not the answer for your goals of achieving a slimmer more defined body.
