So you think that those muscles that Linda Hamilton was sporting in Terminator 2 and the arms that Demi Moore was flashing in GI Jane were pretty sexy, huh? Well, I for one think it was a little overkill, not to mention nearly impossible to obtain without being on a zero fat diet and a very intense workout regimen 24/7, but I do admit, I want to keep “lunch lady arms” at bay as a woman, and I’ll do almost anything to get thinner, more sculpted arms especially since my arms have never been the thinnest most sculpted part of my body, and when they are, it means I’ve worked really hard to get them that way.

I’m five foot four, and I don’t have the long limbs that are necessary to get this kind of look easily, so for me, sculpted arms are a hard thing to obtain unless I am dieting with a fairly low fat diet and eating less calories, and also really focusing on building arm muscle in my workouts, especially focusing on my triceps, which tend to make my arms look “fatter” if I don’t keep them in check.

If you want to have the skinnier, more ripped looking arms, then you have to try to circuit train, and focus your workouts more on your arms, whereas you are probably used to working on the legs and abs as a woman, you just have to retrain the focus if you want your arms to look great and “buff”.
