    I'd consider doing both upper arm & lower arm, if I were gonna get that detailed.

    Awesome suggestions! Edited to add measurements. Except wrists. Mine are all bone, no fat on them at all! Almost wish there was since they look "mannish" to me lol.

    I generally think that people put emphasis on things that either don't matter at all, or only matter a small amount, while ignoring the things that matter a great deal.

    Overview of what I think is important:

    1) Eat the appropriate caloric (and macronutrient) intake for your goals and track intake accurately. I think eating mostly nutrient dense and whole foods while still allowing some "treats" is a reasonable starting point/guideline.
    2) Exercise regularly. Do something you enjoy or at worst case choose the least objectionable activity. Ideally you should include some form of resistance based training as a part of your program.
    3) Get adequate rest/sleep.
    4) Establish metrics and use them appropriately.
    5) Repeat.

    And do NOT complicate things worrying about minutia.
    The vast majority of you should be able to stick to the above and make very good progress. Will other things matter at some point? Possibly, but the above will get you very far.

    I'm going into some details here and when I make generalizations please realize that I'm well aware of the idea of applying context and unfortunately it's difficult to generalize and apply context at the same time. So treat the generalizations as such. . . .

    I have to tell you that a couple of years ago, I followed heavy lifting and eating about 1700 cals a day... I dropped weight like crazy... Sadly, things happened medically and I had to stop everything.. Literally.

    It has been 2 years since I have been able to do anything again and I am glad to do this all over!! It WILL work and be amazing.. My only sideline now is that I can't do heavy lifting so I am opting for extreme bodyweight training :)

    Body weight is good. It does not have to be extreme. Follow or design a good progressive routine.

    Well by extreme I meant it is extreme for me right now, but being prior Army bodyweight exercises are easy for me to adjust to, hopefully one day I can do other things but for now I will be happy with this :)
