Arm Flappers

sivysivy Posts: 391 Joined: 2005/02/11	2005/05/12, 07:20 PM My arms seem to be a bit flappy. The problem is mostly with the underside, but the overall thickness is a problem too. I have been doing dips, and kick backs for the underside, but see little results. Any recommendations that will firm my arms, without making bigger, would be great. Thanks---------> S

Try the different tricept extensions (lying, seated, decline, etc.). Pushdowns are also effective exercises (regular and reverse) Good Luck!
