Nice looking arms

ChrisYi Posts: 126 Joined: 2001/05/05	2001/06/13, 07:50 PM I've never had nice looking arms. But I've noticed through lifting about 1.5 months, my arms aren't as flabby. It actually has more of a shape. I've been doing the intense shoulder thing, so I'm seeing a bit of the shoulders. I've been wearing sleavess shirts/jerseys more and my coworker has noticed them. Will my arms continue to become toned?

My arms where once devoid of any type of shape, but now i have got great arms and can alternate curl 50pound easily. Keep at it and they will get a hell of alot better!

I think I can do at least one set of 5 for my biceps with 5 kg. I ride an electric bike everyday for my transportation, so I need my arms to be strong.

ChrisYi Posts: 126 Joined: 2001/05/05	2001/07/05, 12:36 AM I like them so far, but I would like to have them more toned. So I guess I have to keep pumping them to make them look even nicer.

Which are you going for? Pumping should come first if you need mass. Once you've got your size then do low weight high reps to tone. If you're a female then try to avoid the shoulders being massive; shoulders are a widening muscle that body builders with narrow clavicles work to make them seem bigger. So only define your shoulders and pump & tone your bi's and tri's. Best Wishes.
