I do Upper Body strength Videos/ or Gym Weight machines 2 times a week, but my upper arms seems to be stubborn in getting toned up,
i have been working out for more than 3 years now, i have seen results everywhere except upper Arms, any guidance?

    Genetic markers suck.

    Keep at it and weights ! I've been at this 6 years and my upper arms/thighs and belly are just the last ones to give up the fat and tone...

    What are you doing to exercise arms? Suggest lots of progressively heavier triceps work along with biceps and shoulders. UTube has a lot of videos that can provide guidance, if needed. Have fun!

    Make sure you're using a challenging weight, that you don't swing or drop the weight but keep control and tension through out the movement. Really focus on the muscle you are working - if you are not feeling it your weight is too light and/or your form needs work.

    Also try supersetting.
