If any one had this issue, but with hard work it came off, can you please show and tell me what exercises did you do. I am doing Jillian and trying so hard to get this flab under control, but it is so flabby and I am afraid even with all my hard work its not going to come off. Is there any proof whats so ever after major weight loss it comes off with hard work. Just need that encouragement to keep on trucking. Thank you.

    I have no idea what to do. I have "flabby arm syndrome". Hoping someone could give some insight on what they did.

    You need to do tricep exercises. I use cables at the gym and do free weight exercises targeting that area.

    I've been doing heavy compound exercises- squats, deadlifts, overhead press, barbell rows, and bench press. I've been doing these for about five weeks following the stronglifts program and have seen some results, though I still have a ways to go. I'm thinking of adding in exercises to isolate my biceps and triceps as well, but haven't yet. Pics (Please don't judge too harshly):

    time, and heavy weights. all of those exercises you are doing will hit your arms, but you could do an isolation heavy arm day. triceps are 2/3 of your arm, biceps are the other 1/3.

    i would continue to do as doing, but maybe after your barbell rows throw in some bicep work, and after your bench press throw in some tricep work. your tricep has 3 heads that all need to get hit, so maybe do some overhead extensions, dips, dumbell kickbacks (killer- in a good way) and cable pressdowns.

    my triceps fatigue pretty fast- i usually do triceps after my chest, or on an "arm day" (chest/bis/tris) and have had great success :)

    Calorie deficit + cardio to burn fat and lifting heavy as possible 3 times a week.

    Doing 30 Day Shred really helped as it taught me how to do push-ups and planks which have strengthened my back and arms and core.

    keep going with Jillian. I went from 16inch to 13inches (biggest part of my arm) after I finished 30 Day Shred
