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

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
