How to train arm muscles while walking?
There are many videos on YouTube on this topic. Recently I watched one video and the girl suggested to shorten the thumb straps, shorten the poles too and during descent lean on the poles with the palm. I tried walking like that and I tell you that the mentioned technique works great on triceps.
Someone suggested to wear cuff weights while walking, which you wrap around the arm or leg with Velcro. With the mentioned weights you train biceps.
Maybe you know some other preparations and techniques for increasing arm muscle mass?

How much muscle "mass" a person has doesn't mean they are strong. You can be completely dry and stronger than many others. Arms are strengthened with bowls. When we have legs closed on the other, then there are round bands for strengthening palms and fingers; for wrist strengthening for climbers there is a toy in K2-Lj store. Then stretching with elastic ropes with handle is good - hall A ground floor opposite tourist agency (I have one attached to the wall at home). A very effective exercise that is completely simple and cheap is to clench fists with extended outstretched arms and then open them. We repeat this exercise with outstretched arms forward at shoulder height, then spread them sideways in T shape, finally lift vertically above head. The exercise comes from karate and initially looks quite simple; later after many clenches and opens it becomes quite hard, so after three different arm positions of the exercise, we relax the fingers and relax the muscles by shaking hands, so that we completely relax the entire arms in wrists and circularly and downward shake palms with fingers. For maintaining muscle flexibility aerobic exercises are important, where sets of different exercises alternate, which evenly strengthen a larger number of muscles more completely, so avoid monotonous gym and closed spaces. In general, for strengthening muscles walking with poles on regular hikes is enough, some physically useful work at home (vacuuming, mopping floors, sweeping, chopping wood, cutting trees with chainsaw or saw etc.)

It's important to use your own body in training. Push-ups are enough, you have different positions for certain muscle groups. You can also do pull-ups on the bar, buy a bar that fits between doors and you have training.

If you want to gain muscle mass you absolutely need healthy diet and gym visits, home devices aren't as good as those in gym, don't forget, if you train you also need to feed the muscles, after gym it's good to eat carbs, every meal must contain proteins some fat and carbohydrates.
The set goal won't be visible in 14 days, but it takes several months.
With running or fast uphill walking you don't do much except speed up metabolism, gain lots of stamina, ...for muscle gain you need lots of proteins, you can do at home with bodyweight too...
But I'd like to emphasize, once you have muscles it doesn't mean you'll have them forever, you lose them as fast as you gain them, usually they turn into fat.

ljubitelj gora, that's true. But I think he doesn't want to be some pumped Schwarzenegger but more definition I think.

Do you even know how long he'd have to train to really look pumped like Schwartzi, that takes years and years at least 5-10 years.
You have to know that when gaining muscle mass it's not only on account of muscles, but also fat, that's why these athletes are sometimes on muscle gaining, other times on cleaning diet so-called ketogenic diet.

I didn't mean literally for the negro, but I want to say that he doesn't need a gym and doesn't have to follow a diet. What will muscles do for him in the mountains? It's enough if you can lift your own weight with your arms; for more, this isn't quite the right forum. hribi.net-building

Asking for *while walking*. Another variant with poles is to grip them very wide, because then the force transfer will be worse and you'll use more energy for lifting.

Once long ago I saw a video where someone was "walking" on hands - I don't remember anymore if on Mont Blanc or somewhere else - that one was training arms all the time during "walking"  They say he got into Guinness.
Or you can make a hole in the poles and pour molten lead into them. When the lead cools and then you use such poles while walking, it works great on triceps
