I remember the first time I saw those tight, strong arms on Linda Hamilton in the first Terminator movie. Way back in the day….circa 1991. They were fierce and powerful. I wanted them.
In 2002, I got them. It wasn’t without hard work, for sure. But it also wasn’t without eating a lot more protein than sugar!
Today, I still frequently work the muscles of my arms with standard Tricep Press Downs, Bicep Curls, Push Ups, Chest Presses, but I also use them quite a bit on the Reformer and studio equipment with Pilates training. Additionally, for any overhead work performed on the floor in either Yoga or Pilates Mat, the biceps and triceps are relied upon quite heavily.
And in all instances, that food factor is still very critical! Do not be confused. You need to work it, burn it and feed it.
And give equal attention to all three variables. Consistently. Regularly.
We all fall off the wagon from time to time. Yeah, we feel like a sack of mud or potatoes when it happens. The strength, tone and tightness we enjoyed and admired diminishes. BTW, lest we forget, abs and arms require the same focus and attention.
So…..just pick up the potatoes and make it them work for you. Work it more, burn it hot, and keep feeding the muscle more protein.
