Sexy Arms

Today we are going to focus on the arms! I love the look of lean sculpted arms 
with strong shoulders so you never NEED shoulder pads 
(you know they like to come back in style)! Here are some of my favorite ARM go-to 
moves. There is a lot of shoulder and triceps because those are generally 
most of our problem areas! Keep the weight light (5lbs will probably be great) 
and do 3 sets of 8 for each move!
Chest Press: tones chest, shoulders, and triceps.
 Bicep Curls: can do with palms up, in or down. I suggest do each round
in a different direction to change it up!
Dips: Straighten your legs or add weight to the legs to make these harder.

Pushup: works shoulders, chest, arms, and core. Go on knees to make it 
easier but try at least one round in "guy" style!

Reverse Fly: works the back of the shoulders.

Shoulder Pushups: Make sure you keep your behind in the air for these!
 Overhead Tricep Extensions: Keep those inner arms close to your ears to keep
your form nice on these!
Front Raise (or Front Extension): Keep your elbows "soft" (so not stick straight)
and tighten your abs as you raise and lower the weights.

T-Raises: I like taking two counts to go up and down with this move.
Keep it smooth though and if you feel like you are "jerking" the weights to
get them up, go DOWN on weight!
Triceps Pushup: Most of us NEED to do these on our knees! Keep the 
elbows in tight and remember you only have 8 per round!
Triceps Kickback: These can be done with palms facing in, down, and up.
I would suggest trying a different one per round to hit all that muscle!

ENJOY!
