Whats best to get toned Arms / shoulder???

What are you doing right now?

curls
pushups
tricep kickbacks
swimming (yup - freestyle is great for your triceps)

for arms. work both your biceps and triceps. the 2 main exercises that no one should ever not do are.. dips and pull ups/chin ups. (i would recommend trying to do these weighted if you can, but thats up to u) just remember your arm's are like 3/4 triceps so don't neglect them. (c so many people only do bicept curls =<) .. just listing off some things i do.. skull-crushers, rope pull down, your normal bicep curl, hammer curl, bb curl. etc

obviously compounds are amazing. listed above. just make sure you have correct form if your attempting them.

for shoulders. there is db shoulder press. military press. front raises, lateral raises, and rear delts. etc.. make sure you train rear delts as well as everything else! so many people neglect them its unbelievable.

but in the end. the only real way to get more toned is to cut bf%.. and usually thats with weight loss. you can look into re-comping but its a extreamlly slow process.

Fitness Magazine's edition that just came out has an article on this with several moves.

I've seen 2 schools of thought posted. The first deals with isolating specific muscles, like Taylerr88 suggest. The second deals with overall muscle growth for your entire body, which will also hit arms and shoulders, but also imrove EVERYTHING else, as Rae6503 suggested.
