Question
i have big arms...runs in the family...i lift weights a lot and do cardio at least 3-4 times a week. the trainers at the gym assured me i could get toned arms...well i have been at it over 2 years now and i have now hurt my right forearm to the point where the pain is so bad that i cannot lift weights. they told me to lift heavier weights to get the fat off so i did and i hurt myself...and, i still have fat arms. is there anything short of liposuction that i can do? i eat a very good diet, have always been athletic, but these fat arms make me look bigger...
Answer
You need to work with the whole body and review your diet, cardio, weight training and flexibility. First, go to a doctor and find out what is wrong with your arm. Then, find a trainer who can give you a balanced program. It sounds as though you were lifting too heavy.
