Hey Bri, thanks for reading.

Yes, there will be a genetic component to how your arms look. And, if you tend to add muscle easily to the upper body, you’ll likely want to avoid training your arms with too much volume (sets x reps). Remember that “toned” is a combination of building muscle (which you might not need to do much of) and losing fat.

The good news? If you tend to add upper body strength easily, you’ll naturally be better at upper body lifts like chin-ups, which might be all the arms training you need.

Having naturally toned arms is genetic. Most of my life I’ve refrained from working out my arms because they already are big (manly looking) it’s very easy for me to gain more muscle in my arms. Growing up it was always easy for me to use my upper body strength..

Hello,
what if you’re already preforming the many tips mentioned and still have not seen progress? What if you can’t push yourself with certain movements due to fear of injury or pre-existing pain? I have been weightlighting for over a year now and have a mild impingement in one of my shoulders. Due to the impingement certain movements are uncomfortable with heavier weights. I am also seeing great progress (aesthetically) throughout my body accept in my arms. Are there any other tips you could give?
