10 Best Arm Machines (Review) In 2021

The Fat Gripz: The Ultimate Arm Builder is the ideal arm machine for the experts, even if most wouldn’t technically call it an arm machine. However, it can still positively impact your workout by increasing grip strength and bar diameter to put extra pressure on you, and therefore your arms. It’s molded using specialized military spec material to ensure high-quality performance and supreme durability, which gives you confidence when the grips activate your muscles with every deadlift or bar curl.

They are compatible with most weightlifting bars and the simple design means they are pretty much idiot-proof. If you need any more convincing, they are used by the pros in all sports industries, including MMA and powerlifting, and if it’s good enough for them, then it’s surely good enough for you, just don’t feel too put off by the price.

We do love a clever name here at Gear Hungry, and Fuel Pureformance Deluxe Dip Station offers one of the most amusing we’ve seen for a while. But clever names do not a good arm workout machine make, or at least that’s what we expected.

We were wrong, however, and this dip stand is robust, constructed using 14 gauge steel and also provides angled and padded grips to make it easy to use. It’s also comfortable, but the frame design means that it’s not the most portable option around. However, this could benefit you. With it, thanks to its stability and open pass design, you can target multiple muscle groups from the comfort of your own home, which means you can ditch the gym membership and never need to wipe down a sweaty machine ever again. Hurrah!

If you’re a beginner looking for a way to ease into an arm workout or someone on a budget but still hoping to exercise, the Core Prodigy Python Power Twister is the perfect choice for you.

The carbon steel rings ensure extreme durability and longevity, while the design means you can adjust the resistance levels yourself by simply moving your hands. It strengthens the chest, shoulders, arms, back, and your grip, meaning that despite its simple design, it’s one of the most versatile options available. If you’re confused about the tassels, they’re to make it easy to hang or loop around something to explore different workout techniques, although some may not consider these too necessary, and they could even get in the way. You may also like some of the best grip strengtheners from our list, so check them out.

With a variety of versatile applications, the Sportneer Wrist Strengthener Forearm Exerciser is a low-cost but effective method of working your arms out, even if you can’t work your problems out right now.

It strengthens muscles, as you’d expect, and the adjustable design makes it ideal for everybody to use, and you can work your way up as you start seeing results. It’s constructed using quality materials, and it’s also comfortable to use. However, with a glaring lack of instructions, you’re on your own when it comes to figuring out how to use it. It’s easily portable, though, so maybe some friendly stranger can give you some advice on what to do, and with 8kg of minimum tension, it puts you a superb position to improve your strength from the first try. It also makes an amazing fitness gift for anybody who wants to build their arms.

The Marcy Wrist and Forearm Developer looks like something you may have seen back in your Yu-Gi-Oh watching or Halo 3 playing days, but even though you may have grown out of those by now, using this will still feel oddly familiar.

It doesn’t just target the forearms and wrist, but also the fingers, too, which makes it an excellent option for boulderers, and the adjustable grip also means that just about anyone can use it. The resistance level is decent, but perhaps not as high as we’d like, although at such a great price, you can’t expect too much. It’s portable and comfortable, so you can whip it out whenever and wherever you like when you’re experiencing a little downtime, and with the two-year warranty, you can feel confident that it won’t fall apart after using it just once or twice.

We’re going to avoid any lifesaving jokes for this one because frankly, we know you know we are better than that, so let’s just focus on what the Lifeline Multi-Use Shoulder Pulley can do for you. First, it increases flexibility and range of motion, and the simple operation is excellent for rehabbing injuries by helping you stretch while also improving circulation.

It’s safe to use, and the metal door hook keeps it secure in place during your workout. The nylon rope is a little too stiff at first, but this is a minor thing, and with enough use, it will loosen up in no time. The foam cushion assistive grip makes the whole experience actually enjoyable, but it will still force you to work hard to build your muscle, and for households where everyone wants a turn, the rope is adjustable to save any injuries, so there’ll be no need for First Aid.

The DMoose Fitness Wrist Exerciser may look like your everyday foam roller you see lazily discarded at every gym across the country but it offers so much more than that. It helps to improve grip strength and build muscle and also offers a comfortable grip for those longer sessions.

With it, you can explore customizable workout options for any sport or activity, and you can add some weight, but not too much, to increase the resistance. It’s compact enough to make it supremely portable and therefore convenient, and the roller is durable, as is the supposedly snap-resistant rope, but like we said, maybe go a little easy on it at first.

The Yes4All Wrist and Forearm Blaster offers a lot to love about it including a premium PVC handle and an adjustable nylon strap that ensures both reliability and excellent performance regardless of your skill level. To top this off, the heavy gauge steel construction adds a further level or durability to make it something you can use for years. However, the coating gets a little slippery after long use.

It’s suitable for all standard (not Olympic) weights, but you’ll need to supply those yourself for your hand and forearm workouts. It comes with a 1 year warranty and a 60 day return policy, and it’s another example of a compact and convenient arm machine that might surprise even the most experienced and dedicated bodybuilder around.

The foam grip handles ensure comfort, although they may need replacing after a while, especially if you use it a lot. You won’t need to worry about the solid steel construction, though, as that is durable enough to handle whatever you throw at it. As part of the RED program, you can contribute to charity, with 15% of the purchase going to fight AIDs programs, so if you were on the fence about which option is the right one to pick, this could sway you, not that we’re pressuring you or anything.

It’s hard to find ways to tone your arm muscles, especially if you’re not into lifting weights. Sure, we could all get a set of dumbbells but that kind of exercise isn’t for everyone. The Ontel Wonder Arms Total Workout System provides an alternative way of getting the perfect-shaped arms. If you haven’t seen these advertised on TV, you clearly haven’t been watching the shopping channels enough. This innovative exercise machine can be used to tone and sculpt your biceps and triceps, as well as your shoulders, back, and chest. It comes with three different resistance bands (15lbs, 25lbs, & 35lbs), so you can work your way up to the highest level. We’d recommend starting with around 20 reps with the 15lb resistance band and see how it feels. It’s designed mainly for women but it’s also suitable for men that aren’t into lifting weights.
