in Introduce Yourself
I have been lifting for the past 4 years now and believe I pretty much know what I am doing. The only problem I seem to have is with my arms. I can't seem to tone them as much as I want. My shoulders are good (minus my man traps!) but I feel like my arms don't look that good for how much I work them. I know to vary weights (which I am all about lifting heavy) but other than that I do not know what the problem is! Anyone have any tips or exercises that could work??

Thanks!

    Pull ups, dips and chin ups! Don't use the assisted machine either... If you can't do them on your own, try getting a resistance band to help!

    Also, if you want to tone, I recommend light weights (like 5lbs!) -- heavy weights will get you strong, but the light ones should give you some definition.

    I do all of these exercises! It is frustrating. I know about the bulk and then tone but I feel that 5lbs may be too light. I even vary my weights.
