Shapin Arms

IrishSailor Posts: 2 Joined: 2005/02/14	2005/05/07, 02:25 PM I was a competitive swimmer for a long, long time and my Triceps are disproportionately large. How do I focus on shaping a noticeable difference between my shoulders and triceps so my arms don't just look big or fatty?
Carivan Posts: 8,542 Joined: 2002/01/20	2005/05/07, 03:18 PM Train your shoulders, biceps, triceps, and chest including back. By doing this you will get the tapered look you are looking for. Try a program from here on Freetrainers and include "the wide shoulders" routine. And welcome to freetainers. -------------- Scales are for dead weight: We are not dead yet!

Perhaps he needs to work more on defining them, lose some weight and do more reps. As carivan said, your whole body needs to be worked out so you look proportionate and shapely. Large, shaped arms on a small chest and back will look really funny.
