Re: question about arms..       06/22/05 10:14 AM Edit Reply Quote tnchawk Reged: 04/02/03 Posts: 489 Loc: New Ken, PA Hmm, well, my mom is a personal trainer and here are some thoughts..... 1) You might try doing more reps w/ lighter weights. That is better for gals than few reps w/ heavy weights. Those tend to build the muscle faster where as the lighter weights will make your muscles appear leaner. 2) Are you doing cardio as well?? Just a thought, as sometimes it takes awhile for the built up muscle to burn the fat that is stored on your body. The cardio will help melt it faster. 3) Are you eating alot of protein?? That will build your muscles too. I'm not sure if any of that helped, but I wouldn't give up. Seriously, like you said, some women are so paranoid that they will get "big" but you really can't. We don't have the testosterone in our bodies to do so. I would keep with it, but try a lighter weight and more reps. Even water bottles will work. Hope I was helpful!
