Arms

I've always hated my arms. At 267lbs, I had 'wings' and they were awful. As I lost the weight I still hated my arms. They were one area I thought would never change.

They aren't quite where I want them.. but I can finally see a dramatic difference!

It feels great.

    Here are some of the things I do for my arms, I dont do these all in one workout, I pick a few for the day:

    Push ups! (Girl ones do - on knees - I cant master the real push up yep
    Tricep dips
    Wall pushes

    Dumbell: tricep kick back, over head press, skull crushers, tricep extentions, bicep curls, standing over head press

    Machines at the gym: Tricep push down, lat pull down, pull in, assisted push ups and dips, seated butterfly

    Those are all I can think of at the moment!
