Arm body fat

[BIGGUNS25]

I know we cannot loose body fat in one section only, or spot reduce. But is there anything i can do to help bring about more definition in my arms? in terms of training, or diet, or cardio? I've cut before, and i lost a good amount of bodyfat, but my arms have always had trouble with definition nad tone, even if i get below 10% bodyfat.

Do you do many push ups?

I do push ups every night and my arms always show a decent amount of def once I get to a certain weight.

Push ups are great for the upper body. Shapes you up nice.

well i weight about 250lbs, i'm around 6'3 1/2, and my bf% is probably 15-16%, and whenever i've cut in the past, my arms don't show that much definition in my shoulder-tricep area. I know so many other big guys who say that high reps, lighter weight is the way to go for tone/definition, but then i've heard others say that that's not true. What if i did like two excercise of high reps per muscle group, and one compound, heavy low rep excercise per muscle group?

I think the thought behind the low weight high reps has to do with you not actually breaking down your muscles, just making the stuff you have thicker so I think doing heavy at all would negate the low rep exercises, but im just talking out of my ass.

the fat u have already have combined with small arms could make them pretty blurry...

basically u have two options: either lose more fat or gain more muscle

when you gain more muscle mass the fat spreads out and the tighter ur skin looks. Also the ratio of muscle to fat goes up giving you more definition

losing fat is your other option... really theres nothing else you can do other than that...

try varying your training. maybe do high rep training twice a week (12-20 rep) and lower rep twice a week (8-10 rep)

when i cut down 40lbs of fat and water last year, and went from 240 to 200 in over months, my arms were still above 17'', so i don't know where ur getting "small arms" from. now there over 18'', and its solid, not soft, but in my shoulder tricep area i lack definition, thats all.

It does not matter how much muscle you have if you dirty bulked and have a layer of fat around you will not have any definition.

pretty much. tho he mentioned being under 10% and still having trouble seeing definition... lose fat or gain enough muscle or both to make the arm fat layer thinner is my suggestion... really thats all you can do to get more definition in those arms
