This might sound stupid, but I need to strengthen my arm muscles.why?because I am tall and if I do make cheerleading I need them for spotting on stunts, plus for gymnastics.
Any ways to strengthen besides lifting WEIGHTS and PUSHUPs would be great! :)

I don't think so, u need to work with your arms if u want to make them stronger, its as simple as that

Thank you for posting your question to the Ask Me Help Desk.

There are lots of exercises that can help strengthen your arms.

1. Frisbee walks -- Using a tight flipped hollow, place the feet in a frisbee toes pointed. In this exercise, deviation of arm position is allowed. Use the arms to pull yourself forward. One lap on the floor is good. Now repeat this exercise going backward. One lap. (the frisbee is to prevent rug burn on the toes and for ease of slide)

2. With someone to help you by holding your legs... Handstand pushups and handstand shoulder shrugs. Also handstand walks against the wall are great. Best done in a gym where there is lots of room and nothing to fall on. Get into a handstand with stomach facing the wall and start walking sideways along the wall. Be sure to go both ways.

3. Chin ups

4. Pull ups

5. Lots of crab walking

6. Find someone who can perform skills alone and ask if you can spot them. (Make sure you know how to do the spot first) Since they already know how to do it, you won't have to worry about making a life saving spot but your arms can still get the workout.

Let me know if you have any questions about these.
Good Luck!

Thanks rudi in, these will probably be funner than pushups!

You are welcome!

If you want to really get in shape, lift weights and all those good things (but who wants to do those?)

But you should probably go with rudi in. Exercise for fun. What ever fits you best.
