Has anyone other than myself lift up their arms and had that little flabby skin as which they call "Batwings"?... Well, for most women it is a major issue, especially for those of us who have lost a large amount of weight and didn't incorporate enough weight training into our workouts while losing the weight. No woman wants flabby, unaesthetic arms. I found a 12 week program for toning the arms, which I will be adding to my already clean eating and workout routine with Shaun T.. T25 that is..
This routine will hopefully help me to tone and build muscles so that when the summer comes I will be able to flex and wear my tank top without a cover up. Something I have been wanting to do for years but too ashamed of my arms to do so. I am very determined to have me some very toned and sexy arms. How about you?
I found this routine on www.muscleandstrength.com
- Weeks 1 to 4 - Lower Volume, 6 to 10 rep sets.
- Weeks 5 to 8 - Higher Volume, 10 to 15 rep sets.
- Weeks 9 to 12 - Rest-pause focus.
Higher Volume Workouts. Workouts will feature lighter isolation exercises, but a lot of sets and sets. It will be a dramatic contrast to weeks one to four.
Rest-Pause Workouts. These workouts will be brief, but physically intense. You will be resting exactly 20 seconds between each set. Use the same weight for each set of a given exercise.
Please note that this arm program can be broken up into 3 separate arm workouts, which could be run with nearly any training split.
If you do follow the program as written, make sure to take one week of rest before starting it again.
