Upper Arm Exercises - What Did/do You Do?



Recommended Posts

Hello - I have been scouring the internet looking for upper arm exercises because they are looking quite flabby. I found some that look good but looking for suggestions from the pro's on the board - please recommend your favorites and one's that you know work!

I use a band (looks like a very large rubber band 12” long) I hold one end behind my back, right above my bottom, with the band going up my back towards my head, I pull that end straight up above over my head then relax behind my back as far as possible, I do 3 reps of 15 then switch hands and do another 3 reps of 15 you should feel the burn right where your trouble area is, if not readjust, make sure palm of hand is facing up, make sure you are standing straight, keep elbow up high as far as you can before you start, do reps nice and steady about 2 seconds apart not rabbit speed but not turtle speed either, I take my band everywhere with me, it fits in my pocket , I do one set in the a.m. and one set in the p.m. and random sets whenever possible. started these in April of last year and at that time I was barely able to get 1 rep of 15 done, now on my last sets it is still very hard and it isn’t uncommon for me to grunt like a body builder getting out those last 3 lol, also it took 3 months before I noticed any difference in appearance. Good luck bandsters hope that has helped. :D

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
