well defined arms

groovergrl23 Posts: 5 Joined: 2005/06/10	2005/06/10, 06:59 PM I'm a petite female and I've been trying to get more defined arms. They are scrawny and don't have much meat on them to begin with. I want well definec arms. It'd be cool to show off some muscle :). What are some good exercises with dumb bells and machines to use.

Basically you can just do DUMBELL CURLS and a machine that your gym does have for biceps and for triceps, you can find whatever machine your gym has =) For DEFINED arms, low bodyfat levels are a must - but getting them really defined as girl will be very tough - but they can definately be improved =) Hope this helps. -------------- You look for cheaper but good supplements?

And yes, I think 2sets of each of the 2 excersises will be way enough. -------------- You look for cheaper but good supplements?

You want to work shoulders for sure, got to have good looking shoulders to have good looking arms! I'd suggest bicept curls, tricept kickbacks, front raises, lat raises...there's lots more you can do. I prefer to use freewieghts, but the machines are ok to start. Check out the exercise glossery for tons of other ideas. 2 set, 2 exercises :laugh:.....Don't worry about getting "big" it is extremely difficult for women to get "big"!! -------------- Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there.

Why else would programs like Doggcrapp, HIT, WestSide Barbell work? Of course, if you count in shoulders, it will be like 3 more sets so a total of 7 for arms - that is, by far, enough in my opinion. -------------- You look for cheaper but good supplements?
