Arms?

  • Hi..
    I have not lifted in years.. (like 20!) I just bought a 5 pound and an 8 pound set of dumbells.. I want to work on my upper arms (specifically the freaking bat wings I am getting with the weight loss!)

    can someone guide me on a good set of exercises for upper arms? or is there a site with good illustrations? or even videos?

    I really want to concentrate on the upper arms..
    I have been doing pushups.. but I am getting pain between my shoulder blades.. (have been doing two sets of 20 a day -not together but at different times throughout the day)..

    thanks!!!

  • Cary - you'll want to focus on exercises for biceps and triceps. I like exrx.net for seeing exercises.

    Follow the "exercise instruction" link, and then Exercise & Muscle directory. You can see exercises by muscle from that point on.

  • I really like exrx.net and also abcbodybuilding.com but I recently discovered exercise.about.com and they have more exercises geared towards home use.
