when you work out doing curls instead of doing real heavy weights do light weights like 20 and 25 and do lots of reps (like 15 reps for 25 and 20 for 20) this will help the cuts show up more (takes 3 to 4 weeks for top results)

ABSOLUTELY!  I toned my upper arms in 2 weeks by doing elliptical/cross-trainers with skiing motions every day, and some strenght training every other day. Just 2 weeks later I happened to notice that I looked Fan-flippin'-tastic!  Another trick is do a little bit of weight lifting just before going out in something sleeveless. It makes your arms look extra toned for the evening. You can avoid being bulky looking by doing more reps af lighter weights, and lots of stretching.

try lifting some weights or doing push ups to increase your arm strength. maybe if your arms get stronger you'll be able to push off harder instead of having your arms bend. weights and push ups may seem like a pain but it's better than risking a head or neck injury. good luck!!! =)

try taking weights and putting your arm down on a flat surface. then bring your knuckles toward you. do 20 for a week, 30 the next 40 the next, ect ect, but when you get to 100, don't go higher, its bad for you, i dont know why, it just is.

You are building the wrong muscles.  Also, leverage is the key (physics).  If you want to be good at arm wrestling, you want to arm wrestle (or do that motion) on a shedule that you lift weights.  Also, strengthen your wrists with isometrics or something.

i don't think what you're doing is enough.  people who wanted to build muscle use like 50 lb weights.  increase your reps just a little bit more and you should see results.  not too much, though, or you'll break your arm

I suppose you mean the triceps which usually start sagging for women your age. One simple exercise is to sit on a sturdy chair ( with arms), stretch out your legs and raise and lower your body (butt)while leaning out of the chair base. Maintain your balance by taking support on the heels.  To start with do 5 reps and you can progressivelly increase this to a count of 20 reps. You should feel the tricep muscle getting worked. \nor\nbuy a pair of dumbells ( half kg or one kg) and   ( sorry it's difficult to describe this exercise without a picture. Do look up some tricep exercises with weights on the web)

You're 19, and worried about big biceps why??  If you truly want bigger biceps, you will have to build the muscle mass necessary first.  Biceps curls alone, are not a mass building exercise.  \n\nTry compound movements, ie...bench press, incline and overhead press.  Compound movers like these are mass-building, as they call into play numerous muscle groups.  Once you've built some more mass, you can then hit bicep/tricep exercises to increase muscularity.  Try a standing bicep curl/dumbell tricep extension superset, 3 x 6, 8 - heavy weight.  The trick is to increase bloodflow to the desired muscle group.\n\nSidenote:  Biceps are simply a show muscle, and if overtrained, will make you look disproportioned.

I think you should go for it. You never know what they might be loooking for in terms of new talent. If you want big muscles you need to come up with an exercise routine and also eat a lot of calories and protein. You also need to get dumbells or join a gym.\n\nFirst find a workout http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/workout.htm\n\nThen find a protein supplement or weight gainer that you can eat after you work out and before you go to sleep because that's when you grow muscle. http://www.powershack.net/Articles/Nutrition/Weight-Gainers.htm\n\nOther tips:\n\nIf you have a chance, subscribe to a bodybuilding magazine to get the best info on workouts/diet.\n\nDon't work out your arms (or any muscle) everyday, let them rest for a couple days because they need time to rest=grow. If you overdoit you might grow less (weird but true)\n\nKeep taking your protein powder/weight gainer everyday. Especially at night.\n\nStart by exercising your arms with 20 pounds each and build up to more weight. (unless you're already lifting more) you don't wanna start too high.\n\nDon't give up! you will see results if you have patience and keep lifting/eating.\n\nLastly, I don't think steroids are the answer unless you wanna be huge as in a total freak. You can get pretty big without them and keep your health too. \n\n\ngood luck :)

It's not always about muscles, but you should work out your arm and leg muscles...run up and down stairs that will get you strong leg muslces and about lifting weights just lift as much as you can and gradually add more wieght.  Also practice shooting, and arm-bars because i have seen many wrestlers get really good because of those two moves.  Good Luck

Well, it's a start. Pushups are good for building your shoulders, lats (latissimun dorsi: back muscles) and, to a lesser extent, your triceps. So, your muscle definition might be a little more noticable. But to get buffed, you really need to add more exercises. Curls are great for your biceps. If you don't have weights, just find something you can curl 10-12 times per set. For triceps (the muscles behind the biceps) a good exercise is chair lifts. Go up to a chair like you're gonna sit in it, but put your hands on the edge of it, fingers back, palms down, then lower yourself to the ground till your butt barely touches and then raise back up. Good luck!

You can do some simple exercise at home that do not take a lot of time for this! \n\nFor the arms:\n\n1. Take two 5-7 pound weights\n2. in a sitting position, and with your back straight, rest both arms to your side, then slightly bend them(keep them parallel to your side) and do 15-20 curls 2-3 days per week!\n3. You should see results in about 2 weeks, but to get really toned, you will need to keep it up!

Everyone has a different metabolism,which is basically the speed that your body burns off fat.You probably won't notice a huge change in the way your body looks for another 1-3 years,again that all depends on your metabolism.And of course genetics.If you want a more defined stomach try doing crunches or sit-ups.Also lifting weights and doing push-ups will help to define your arms.You really don't have to worry too much about what you eat at your age but you do need exercise so you don't get blubbery.Your best bet is to start working out now while you're still young if you want to bulk up.Good luck!Don't take it all too seriously!

I used to be in the same shoes than you.  If arms are small and you want to build them up do the following \n\n1-work out arms 2 times per week with free waits.  Use enough weights to only be able to do 10 reps. That will build bulk.  do only three excercises, tricepts curls, bicept curls, dips, etc. per excercise day.\n\n2-take amino acides and protein with your diet.

you need to work out the muscles in your shoulders, upper back, and upper chest.  Most important here is your rotator cuff is one of the most important muscles to work.  When working out your rotator cuff, be careful, it is a very small muscle that only takes very little resistance to properly work out.  You can very easily damage the muscle if you work it too vigorously.  You can find exercises on line, or look for upper body workout books.  Make sure you get one that is specifically for men or women.  Our bodies require different intensities.
