Tricips help!

kkor Posts: 71 Joined: 2003/01/09	2003/04/06, 09:41 AM I need some help. I have been weight training for a while now...and I still have the saggy underarm part. I have a nice little horse shoe on the back side of my arms, so I'm doing something right, but I still have the flappin' in the breeze, fish belly thing going on underneath. It may be genetic, but someone please give me specific tricep exercises that focus on that part. Thanks! Kelly

This site should have some tips on how to perform individual bodypart exercises. Look under, "Exercise Resources", then select "Muscle Targeting" you'll find them there. -------------- You only get ONE body, take care of it and it'll take care of YOU!

You can do tricep work til you pass out, but it's just not going to get rid of the fat in that section of your body. It sounds to me like your problem is not at all underdeveloped muscles. Stick with compound movements. All the extensions in the world won't drop that fat. -------------- "Don't follow leaders and watch your parking meters!" -- Bob Dylan

Now that's a different story! When you loose weight upper body is the first place you notice the signs, whether it be face, neck, arms. At least that's how it went for me 45#'s ago. ? -------------- You only get ONE body, take care of it and it'll take care of YOU!
