✕Common Mistakes
Questo allena i tuo bicipiti e i tuo avambracci.
‘tuo’ is singular; the nouns are plural, so you need the plural form ‘tuoi’.
Questo alleni i tuoi bicipiti e i tuoi avambracci.
‘alleni’ is the second‑person singular; the subject is third‑person (the exercise), so use ‘allena’.
Questo allena i tuoi bicipiti e tuoi avambracci.
Dropping the second article ‘i’ makes the phrase sound ungrammatical.

Cultural Tip
In Italian gyms it’s common to hear trainers say ‘allenare i bicipiti’ or ‘lavorare gli avambracci’. The word ‘allenare’ is a bit more formal than the colloquial ‘fare esercizio’, so it fits well in a fitness‑class setting or a written workout plan. Remember that Italians often use the plural for body parts (bicipiti, avambracci) even when referring to a single side of the body.
