Great Arms For Women

     Yesterday one of my more recent clients asked me about her arms. She wanted to know what her arms were going to look like in a few months, would they be more like Madonna or Michelle Obama? Her concern is that here arms will get too muscular. This is a common concern for women, most want to have toned arms (not a lot of jiggle) but not become overly muscular (no one really needs to look like Arnold). In a world where everyone wants answers, I answered with an "I don't know", and let me explain that. The truth is that every-one is going to build muscle a little differently. This client is a 37 year old female, so it is not likely that she will build a ton of muscle, most women simply don't have the testosterone levels to accomplish this. The only way to know how her arms are going to look is to put in the time and work hard and be consistent with your training. If your arms become too muscular you can always reverse the process and cut back on the intensity or volume of muscular training in the arms.
