Recommended Posts

Since loosing 70+ pounds I noticed my arms are EXTREMELY drooping. I tried strengthening with weights & resistance bands but still nothing. Does anyone have any tips on how to improve arms? Maybe im not doing it right or for long enough.Right now I have wings and I'm not a chicken. Lol

Please help

I'm not an expert, but one thing I've noticed from others is if you have loose skin then you're stuck with it. The trick is keeping it tight as you lose weight so it doesn't get saggy. Once the hanging skin is already there, you're pretty much stuck with it unless you get plastic surgery.

Again, I could be wrong, it's just my observation.

Mis - I think you're right on with this. Unless someone is 14 years old! :P

Okay, time to pick up the hand weights. I've been dragging my ass on this, knowing well and good that I'll have major flappers if I don't do it. When I lost weight last time, my arms were in great shape. But I started with the weights at the same time I started losing weight. Ugh......I've gotten so la-Z -_-

Keep it up with the weights. They have helped my arms so much. Im 100 down from my heaviest ever and I go sleevless daily.

I go sleeve less daily also but I don't like the looks of my arms. How many lbs should my weights be?

Just depends. Start low and build up. I do crossfit so Im doing heavy weights now. If youre are at a gym they should have a trainer who could help you form a good workout routine to do a few times a week. When it gets tok easy increase the weight.
