Our arms are one of the most often exposed and, therefore, analyzed body parts. And the warmer months are all about showing more skin, as many people shed their cold-weather clothing for summer-friendly attire.

Many fitness beginners make the mistake of overemphasizing the biceps while not giving proper attention to the triceps, which make up two-thirds of the upper arm. So, for guys and women who want to rock tank tops or fitted shirts to show off lean muscle in the spring and summer months, hit the triceps as much as the biceps for overall arm development.

Work through winter on these moves that can get your arms ready for their warm-weather reveal. If you don’t have access to a gym or weights, you can modify the moves by using bands instead of weights.

Barbell Drag Curls

1 Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Hold a barbell with both hands in a supinated (palms up) grip.

2 Keeping the barbell as close to your body as possible, bend at the elbows, curling the weight until the bicep has been fully contracted.

3 Pause and squeeze at the top of the move—the point of complete contraction.

Do 8 to 10 reps.

Dumbbell Triceps Kickbacks

1 Step your left foot forward slightly. Lean forward with a natural arch in the back.

2 Hold a dumbbell in your right hand, using the left hand to support yourself.

3 Keep your right elbow close to your side and hold the dumbbell near your hip.

4 Without moving your upper arm, contract the triceps and extend your forearm behind you.

5 Keep your arm fully extended behind you for one to two seconds before returning to the start position.

Do 8 to 10 reps.

6 Repeat on the other side.

Dumbbell Overhead Triceps Extension

1 In a sitting or standing position, hold a dumbbell in your right hand. Bring the dumbbell overhead with your arm fully extended.

2 Keep the upper arm straight, while you slowly lower the dumbbell behind your head. Pause for one to two seconds.

3 Contract the triceps, and return the weight to the overhead starting position.

Do 8 to 10 reps.

4 Repeat with your left arm.

Dumbbell Hammer Curl

1 Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Hold a dumbbell in your right hand, resting your hand at your side.

2 Contract the biceps by lifting your hand toward your shoulder, keeping your hand in the “hammer” grip position and isolating the upper arm by making sure it doesn’t move.

Do 8 to 10 reps.

3 Repeat with your left arm.
