Better to lift more weight & less reps or less weight and more reps to make !
Question:
Better to lift more weight & less reps or less weight and more reps to make arms smaller?
I do cardio and weight lifting and I want to decrease the size of my arms. Would it be better if I do more reps and less weight or less reps and more weight? Right now, I do 3 sets of 20 lifting 15 pounds.
Oh, getting stronger would be nice too
Answers:
If you want your arms to be smaller and more tone, do more reps at a lighter weight. Lifting less reps and more weight will build more muscle mass and will therefore make your arms bigger or more muscular. Keep doing cardio, it will help eliminate the fat on your body and around your arms. But lifting weights will end up toning your arms and giving you more strength in the muscles you work out.
