Arms are the slowest progressing part of my body, for me.

But look!

I wasn't even tensing properly because it was hard to take the picture and flex, but I'm telling you, when I flex my arms, I ACTUALLY have some muscle now. And they feel harder, whereas before, they felt soft as feck.

    That's what I'm aiming for (among many other signs). Good for you. Keep it up!

    Thanks guys :flowerforyou:

    Not doing anything in particular, I guess the muscles are just more visible now as I am losing weight. I have just started strength training, which would explain the harder muscles, but it's only been about a week. Hmm, I'm not sure ..

    Great job! Continue working and you will see more results pretty soon. In my case arms were probably the first thing to change in my body. I had a personal trainer make a 30 min workout for me as I had no clue where to start a weight training. I hope InnerFatGirl won't mind if I share what I did for arms:

    DB shoulder press: 7.5 lbs
    Wide pull down: 50 lbs
    DB tricep extension: 10 lbs

    DB bicep curl: 7.5 lbs
    DB upright row: 10lbs
    Low row: 40lbs
    DB side raise: 5lbs (I have really hard time having heavier weight at this one)
    Chest press: 45 lbs

    It's not heavy, but it made me struggle. You can increase the weight as it gets easier. I didn't do all the above during the same workout. I do 3 sets of 10.
    I also realized that pushups also help a lot.
