Could I Be Doing Any Other Arm Exercises?
The exercises i do for the arms at the moment is bicep curls, the one where you hold the weights with your palms facing your neck and lift up, also where you hold the weights to the side of you and lift outward. And i do one where i lie on a bench or seat and hold the weights either side of me then i push the weight in the air working my chest. Could i do any others?
and i do a tricep one where i hold the weight behind my neck and lift up
Triceps extensions and wrist curls are two that jump to mind right away. There are other exercises that’ll work your arms but are aimed more at the shoulders, like lateral raises and military press. Google any of these terms and you’ll find websites with interactive videos that show you how to do the exercises properly.
Look up arm exercises on Google and you should find lots of good ones. You have to work you triceps too, not just biceps. Also you should work your forearms.
Yea you could do about a million others. Do bodyweight dips to work your triceps, or bench dips if you’re not strong enough. Simply put your hands on the bench with the inside of your arms facing the direction you are looking then lower your butt to the floor and raise yourself by pushing up on the bench using your hands. Also, do French Press. Take a dumbell and put it above your head and then lower the weight by bending your elbows to a 90 degree angle, then raise. When you lift outward like you said, that targets your delts (sides of your shoulders). You can also do the same thing lifting it to the front with your arms straight. Do 21s with curls. Raise the dumbell half way as a normal curl 7 reps, then all the way up to half way down 7 reps, then normal curls 7 reps. Just search arm workouts on youtube. It’s probably hard for you to visualize what I’m saying
Possibly the best biceps exercise! With your hands shoulder-width apart, grip a barbell with an underhand grip. Stand straight up with your shoulders squared and with your feet shoulder-width apart. Let the bar hang down at arm’s length in front of you, with your arms, shoulders and hands in a straight line. WITHOUT leaning back or swinging the weight, curl the bar up toward your chest in an arc. Keep your elbows in the same place and close to your sides. Bring the weight up as high as you can and squeeze the biceps at the top. Lower the weight slowly, resisting all the way down until your arms are nearly straight.

Do triceps more, because those are one of the hardest areas to keep toned. Also shoulder presses and bench press style on the floor. One Minute Workout by Minna Lessing is my favorite DVD for arm exercises.
