Batwings??
 
I know you can't spot reduce but I was wondering what exercises you can do to help strengthen the muscles of that part of the arm (I have hand weights and ? I can't seem to find any that work it, or am I just being dumb and forgetting something really obvious.

Thanks!!!

I have batwings too, and sometimes I think it's hopeless, but I do feel the toning in the muscles when I use weight machines that specifically target the triceps. At the Y I go to, the machines have diagrams showing which muscles they are designed to work out.

Tricep Dips are also very effective, if you're able to do them. I find this posture a bit of a challenge myself.

Thanks so much! I'm going to try the tricep dip, it looks slightly painful though!

Push ups and pull ups! Don't worry if you can't do them "for real". Assisted pull up machines at a gym are great, and you can work your way to full pushup starting from a modified position on your knees. Thye work just about everything...arms, shoulders, back, chest and abs!
