this is the last time im going to post something so no worries i'll take my lack of common sense somewhere else
Maybe I seen you around and notice you where a bit rude yourself to people...
yeah for good reason. i never would just immediately make someone feel dumb for asking a question. I sure do get angry with people who are just senselessly rude
No one can make you feel anything over the internet. That'd be all on you taking it how you decide to take it.

The best way to reduce fat and maintain muscle is free weights and a good amount of protein, ideally 1g per pound of lean body mass. Losing fat is about calorie deficit, strength training will ensure you maintain current muscle, leaving you leaner at goal weight. Pick a deficit that isn't too aggressive and lift heavy.
If you can't access free weights, body weight exercises or those with dumbells, etc would probably be decent. I've been lifting for a little over a year now. Lost 53 lbs while doing so and am actually doing my first bulk currently. It's honestly the best thing that's happened to me and the best thing I've stuck to. I'm 4 lbs away from my weight I'm high school but two jean sizes smaller than then. Muscle makes a huge difference.
You won't gain muscle in a deficit ( maybe tiny noob gains if you've never done a barbell routine before) but it's very tiny. Any definition you're seeing is losing body fat and uncovering the muscle underneath. Just stick to it and have patience. It'll be worth it in the end!♡0 -

honestly OP it's not a dumb question especially if you've read any women's magazines that talk about "toning" and making it seem as if you can spot reduce. you can't ..no one can. but there are tons of magazines with "experts" (and even personal trainers at the gym!) who will try and make you think you can.
also you'd have better use of your time doing compound lifts in the gym that target multiple joints and muscle groups. squats, deadlifts, bench press, lat pull downs, chest press, pushups, overhead press etc.
for instance bench press, chest press and pushups will definitely work the triceps AND you get the added benefit of getting a stronger core, stronger shoulders and chest too.0 -
Women should train the same way men do.

You can't spot reduce the fat or extra skin. Losing fat is like drying out a sponge. You can't dry a corner while the rest is still wet.
You missed this one. I offered help with no sarcasm or snark and without being rude.
Honestly you'd probably do best looking into a quality full body workout. You could pick a free one from Bodybuilding.com or you could do Starting Strength or New Rules of Lifting for Women. You don't have to do a "woman's" workout because we should train similar to men. We don't have enough testosterone to build huge muscles, so you aren't going to get bulky doing a man's program (I really have been trying to get bulky for the last 3 years).0 -

HOLD UP FOLKS!!!! it's okay to be rude to people as long as you have a good reason.

That's why she's suggesting beginner routines. She can watch form videos on youtube and bodybuilding.com, as well as reading the descriptions in Starting Strength and NROLFW.0 -

Starting Strength and New Rules of Lifting are great for beginners. That's why I suggested them. The bodybuilding.com programs have videos for all the lifts in the workouts, which is why I suggested that. Since she asked about tricep strength training for women I naturally assumed she has never lifted before.0 -
thanks for the feedback everyone0

Aside from those two, I'd also recommend Stronglifts (because of the simplicity of lifting despite the lack of tricep (or other) isolation work), AllPros and Strong Curves.
Strong Curves does get into some good info in there and they have both a bodyweight and beginner program (aside from a glute specific one and an advanced program).0 -

Sure they do, just realized they recommend Starting Strength a "Power lifting book" designed for "Coaches" recommended to a "young girl" Never seen a greater dissonance..

Yes for "power lifting" yet Lyle Mcdonald Called rippetoe out and pretty much said he was full of it. He has been making false claims(rippetoe was). Alan Aragon showed up on rippetoes forums, you had an issue because it specifically said in the sticky. "don't post studies we do what works." They are blinded by the facts of lifting and nutrition. Pretty sure they made that sticky because they got called out on a lot of stuff they preach.
http://www.alanaragonblog.com/2010/06/15/why-nutritional-dogma-dies-hard/
It doesn't really go into about the technique on form and such for the actual exercises. So what was being disputed on those?
We are talking about technique, programs, etc. Not nutrition.
And regardless if it was "written" for coaches, it doesn't mean beginners still can't benefit from it. It is quite possible for beginners to comprehend the material..which many have, and even trainers/coaches have recommended it to those starting out.0 -

So it sounds like you started out with machines?
If I had had access to barbells, I would have started with that. The point, though, is that I took what I read/learned and was still able to apply the same thing to the strength related exercises I was doing.
Also, I'll point to at least two others above who did as I did AND were able to work with barbells.0 -

From my understanding those 30 day squat challenges are body weight squats...or am I wrong? The lifting it sounds like it was under direct supervision. I wouldn't start anyone out with a program with barbells without a solid foundation of lifting and proper supervision.
If people could only learn to lift under direct supervision, there'd be A LOT of people who lift now that would never have attempted it.
You are starting to grasp at straws. The information in the book is still able to be followed by beginners and there is even a program FOR beginners listed in it.

thank you! and congrats on all your success! that is awesome that you're even smaller than you were in high school. i'll keep all this in mind.
and i think i shoulda made my post a little more clear, i am currently eating at/around 1420 cals a day with anywhere from 30-60 mins of cardio 5 days a week, measured by my polar hrm. i just wanted to find the most effective way to get my arms in good shape as i lose weight. i understand that it will take time, (as much as i wish it didn't take SO much time lol) but I was just trying to see if there were any specific routines besides an overhead extension (if thats even what its called haha) cause thats the only routine i was doing. i can't lift, i don't lift, not trying to act like i know everything about weight loss either and in retrospect i probs should have just googled it lol0
