hea Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I just cannot shift the fat on my arms! I'm tall and slim (5ft 10 and a size 10 UK) and ive lost a bit of weight but it does not seem to shift from my arms. Im not over exaggerating when I say they are big, they are 13in round. Is there anything anyone recommends for shifting the fat on your arms? If I loose more weight ill be like a pole and that is not a look I want to go for, as the fat seems to go from my chest and bum. Typically the two places I want to keep! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

seekingpeaceinlove Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Agreed. You must weight train and really push yourself. I also incorporate pull-ups (assisted if you need), dips and push-ups in my arm/shoulder routine. Work on your arms twice a week and you'll start seeing a difference in no time. Two words...

FitChick Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 If your body is exactly the way you want it everywhere else, get liposuction. That is what it is for, not weight loss. We are all genetically programmed as to where our bodies hold fat. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
learning_slowly Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Overtrain your triceps. The muscle will never get big, or if it is big, it will waste away. Link to post Share on other sites

Trane Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 In your weekly schedule, you must dedicate a little time for arm work with weights. Getting rid of the fat means means moderate concentration on endurance focused weight training. For me this is mid to high reps (15 - 20) for at least 3 sets minimum, sometimes 5 sets in common workout terminology. At the end of each month I would include one power arm workout. Max weights low reps, 3 sets. Find a comfortable weight that you can handle, perhaps with some help from a coach or workout partner. Don't forget the cardio. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
anne1707 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Go for weights before lipo. Lipo really is a drastic and last resort action. You many not be able to lose all the fat you would like from weights but you will end up with more toned, better defined arms and that could be all you need to feel good about them 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Thruster Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 NO SURGERY! most everyone above hit the mark dips - presses - curls - kickbacks time to tone them up weights are required want them toned --- REPS and more reps make them burn girl 1 Link to post Share on other sites
FitChick Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 You can't spot reduce fat. Lipo is the only way. Building muscles underneath that fat will only make her arms look bigger. I had a friend who had fat upper arms and fat calves. The rest of her was thin. Reminded me of Popeye. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
