Triceps

Spot reduction of arm fat is not physiologically possible — Kostek et al. (2007) found no preferential fat loss in trained limbs. Arm fat reduces with overall body fat loss through a calorie deficit. Resistance training exercises for the arms (triceps, biceps, deltoids) build lean mass beneath the skin, improving arm appearance and contributing to lean mass preservation during weight loss. This article covers effective arm exercises with calorie and muscle-building context.
