It will provide you with the Protein to build your arms (muscles). I don't know your body type but you may want to look into products that help with "Cutting" to help with the more sculpted look.

Yes, Casein protein helps with the formation and maintaining all muscles. It will certainly help you with your arm muscles.

I am 47 years & very stocky. With all programs you work at beginner level. After one month your fitness will have improved dramatically. Muscle & bone density will be heavier on scale which is good but you are smaller in inches. Blood pressure improves as the fitness of your heart improves. Always be gentle & kind with your body. The instructors on dvd are very good. For 12 to 18 months I did Leslie sans one walk at home & or Denise Austin blast away pounds. I started slow & now I can do the firm dvds basic to intermediate. Light weights to medium only for me. May this assist your decision. Take care. Julie I am 47 years & very stocky. With all programs you work at beginner level.

the box really does not mention these parts...I have used it on oppsite sides of the neck with good results on the neck...go on either side of the spine (just like the low back) just below the inside of the top of the shoulderblade- if you go higher you will make the arms jump...put it on the back setting...my dad is 80 years old with no illness and reqested I try...I have also done it on my husband...both said it helped alotI am not a doctor- only a therapist- this is not a perscription just a recommendation

I have been using this machine for three months, and I love it. I only use it on my face. It has tightened my face only and no removed fat. I don't think this machine is strong enough for your body.

This is just my personal experience and I am a super ectomorph so bare that in mind.The CoC gripper will magnify your grip strength unbelievably if you train as Pavel Tsatsouline recommends (greasing the groove theory.) Muscle tone in your forearm will also increase with strength, and I have even noticed a little bit of overall growth, but not terribly significant. If your only goal is bigger forearms, this might not be the way to go, but if your goal is strength, this is definitely an elite product.

Hi, After a hip injury, my goal is to keep my legs and hips flexible. I enjoy using it, & I believe it is helping to do that. I haven't used it for my arms but that's another option, and can't really speak about 'toning'. I believe variety of activities that work all the various muscles is what we all want. I personally think it was well worth purchasing - as it's very well made, easy to use and doesn't take up much space.

If you mean using it as an upper body/arm only trainer, the short answer...yes. But before starting with any new workout regime, consult with your doctor and/or physical therapist. This way you can make the most of this machine.

Probably not. I found that this is a little bit of a workout in holding poses and the techniques the ask you to use. However, I just skipped what I couldn't do. I am very inflexible, but I do workout and have quite a bit of strength.

Yes, I am a 38 year old woman who has been doing Beast Body and it has enhanced my weightlifting results from P90X. P90X worked well for me. However, the Beast really improved my arms and shoulders. Although I have to say that the leg workouts will leave you sore, but they did not seem to enhance my leg results. I reviewed the DVDs and you are welcome to read my review about what exercises are done. I like to rotate the weightlifting DVDs from Beast Body with those from P90X.

I don't think you can add arms......if you have good balance then it will work for you...if not, need one with arms

Bobby- I would not buy it for that. It may help indirectly, but no more than arm exercises would strengthen them normally. It isolates the bicep curl movement, and triceps pull down movement. -Doug

Well if you're like me and you attend school and work and most likely don't have much time to visit a gym, then I think the Bowflex home-gym will sufficeI like that it uses a resistance mechanism as opposed to just dead weight lifting.Keep in mind you'll need a partner to assemble the machine.Hope that helps man.

I have a 12,18, 24. I am male, almost 40. My main target when buying was for my shoulders. I love all of them! I use the 24 for my arms and shoulders, and it's a heavier 24 pounder that it sounds like! I can do lunges/squats with it as well. I also like my 18. It is almost the perfect all-around multi-use bar. Not too heavy, yet just stout enough to get toned-up nicely without hurting yourself! I like incorporating this bar into some sit-ups also. Great toning bar I like my 12 to take for a walk around the block and use it similar to an aerobic-class device. Great for sculpting arms, shoulders and abs as I walk the dog. For you, try something in the 16-20 pound range. You can always work your way up or down from there. Eventually you may have several as I do. I started at the 24, then got the 18, and then the 12. Remember the heavier you get, the fewer rep's you will feel like doing. So if you want the aerobic/cardio aspect of your exercising , you will feel like pumping out more rep's with a lighter bar

Hello, I own a very, very old machine but it still works on the same principles. I would say that yes, this machine will give your upper body a great workout, more so than the legs. Use less legs and use only the arms and upper body and you will feel the burn. I think it is a great invention and hard to find for some reason. Good luck on your workouts! LT, USA

Hello. Keep going and don't stop. I readjusted my diet and used this in a lot of different ways than what they offered on the DVD. I used this now as a supplementary part of my exercise regimen, so my arms are more defined. Everybody is different, so don't give up! Good luck :)

Hi, Yes, I do think it will help you. I am 70 years old and have used the facial flex for sometime and the results are worth the commitment. I have been asked my age and when I tell them - their eyes open wide and their jaws drop in disbelief. So keep using it and I think you will be pleased.
