Arm Blaster USI Universal With Adjustable Straps

Description

An arm blaster is a lightweight piece of exercise equipment that’s usually worn while performing bicep curls. It’s worn in front of the body with an adjustable strap that rests on the back of the neck/shoulder area. An arm blaster forces the elbows in front of the lifter’s torso while they curl, as well as help keep the elbows stationary throughout the movement.

Arm blasters were a popular exercise among the bodybuilding community back in the 1970s, but have dropped in popularity since. Because of this decrease in popularity, they’re seen as old school. But the principles of the arm blaster are still very popular today.

Modern bodybuilders still use the “elbows in front” technique while they curl in the form of preacher curls and spider curls. Preacher curls involve performing curls while your elbows rest on what is called a “preacher bench”, while spider curls use an incline bench that the person rests their chest on while their arms hang in front and curl the weight.

Despite the arm blaster being seen as “old school”, it’s actually a better alternative in many ways to the preacher and spider curl exercises.

The first major advantage is that the arm blaster is much cheaper than a preacher bench or an incline bench. Not only is it cheaper, but it takes up much less space. An arm blaster is so light and slim, it can be easily stored away when not in use. If you’re looking to get a workout at home, an arm blaster is definitely the most afforable and practical way to go.

Another advantage the arm blaster has over preacher curl or spider curl equipment is in its versatility. With an arm blaster, you can curl using an e-z curl bar (chamber bar), a straight bar, or dumbbells. The same can be done with preacher curls, but it is very awkward to perform barbell spider curls without the help of a partner. And when used correctly, the arm blaster is much more comfortable and less awkward than preacher curls or spider curls

The Blaster keeps your arms in a fixed position against your trunk, with the claim being that this promotes proper form while also isolating the biceps. The idea, of course, is to “maximize the strength-building benefits of bicep curls”, and to give you that massive pump.
