Help! my arms are too bulky!!!

[NathL]

Hi everyone!
I posted this in the "Ask Cathe" forum but I really hope for an answer so I thought I'd put it here too.
Yesterday I went to shop for a ladies suit (I hope it's the right term in English ) Often, the sleeves were too tight!!!! I think my arms are too bulky.
I guess my arms are strong (I use 12-15 pounds for biceps) but they lack definition and with what I experienced yesterday, I'm hoping to find a way to lean them out a little. I know that part of it is genetics. But maybe, the way I work out or the type of exercises that I do don't help in this matter. I would guess that if changes are needed, it would be in biceps and triceps, right? These days, I often do MM, 4DS upper body or the GS.
Any thoughts? I'm desperate for advice!
Thanks
Nathalie

If I were you I would go the endurance route for a while such as CTX, ME or circuits using lighter weights.

Good luck!

I dont't have ME. WouldPUB be a good substitute for it?

I would purchase a suit that fits!

I would love to have strong arms like yours.

There strong but they don't have definition. Ilknow they could never look like Cathe's but I would like enough definition to show that I'm working out. Right now, they lack that.

p.s.: After I've tried many, I was able to find a suit that fit! Phew!

Definition is a function of leaness, which is a function of eating habits primarily.

My arms are pretty bulky too but that's because I'm on the "juice."

It sounds like you need to burn some fat. You probably have some nice muscle under there - just gotta get rid of the fat layer so you could see the definition. Diet is key, diet is key, diet is key. I repeat diet it key. Follow a fat loss program - reduce your calories. Step up the intensity on your cardio. Do more circuit type workouts - full body multi-exercises. good luck.
