Flabby Arms

Muscle Loss…Flabby Triceps…A Quick Fix!!!!!
Many if not most women over the age of 40 experience profound muscle atrophy(loss) in quite a few body parts. No area causes these women more anguish than the rear of the upper arm…the triceps muscle. When this muscle shrinks in size from chronic disuse it leaves behind an excess of stretched out skin that “flaps in the breeze” when the arm moves and the skin is exposed. While not really a health issue, it is an area of no small cosmetic concern for fitness and appearance minded women.

The Fix!

Two of the best exercises for this area are the MedX Tricep Machine(found only at belmar Fitness in NJ) and a manually resisted negative only tricep extension performed with a rope, towel, or with resistance applied directly to the limb.

1) The MedX Compound position tricep machine….explaining the intracacies of this machine is more than I care to tackle in this one page email…suffice it to say it is the best way that a trainee can restore lost triceps size when training alone…one properly performed set on this machine will do more to strengthen and fill out the triceps than any amount of other less productive exercise.
2) The manually resisted negative only tricep extension…as the name implies this exercise requires the assistance of a personal trainer or training partner. The trainee should be seated with back support…arms should be extended straight overhead, elbows by ears with hands grasping a rope , towel or something similar. The personal trainer should grasp the other end of the towel from behind and start applying downward pressure while the trainee resists. The trainee resists as hard as possible while the trainer applies enough force to overcome the trainees resistance and cause her arms to slowly bend until they are fully bent…this should take 10 seconds. At this point the trainer allows the trainee to straighten her arms again and then the whole process begins again for a total of ten reps…ten seconds each. I promise you have never felt anything like this exercise…it will fry those triceps…it will stimulate a firming effect in the triceps that must be experienced to be believed…and again one set…100seconds of exercise will produce these results…and no amount of lesser exercise will produce anything even approaching the same degree of results.

Until next time have fun with these two new movements…but remember I warned you that you would be sore…but the flab on the back of your arm will be a distant memory.
PS…If you like Michelle Obama’s arms, she will soon be envious of your arms if you do this properly
