is it ok to just train arms with weights?

i think he means he gains fat very easy and wants to cut some off before bulking so he doesnt look soft

That's pretty much what I figured as well. What's up Oak?

Your arms will not get bigger unless you lift heavy. If you're on a cutting diet your gains will be hampered and working arms will tone them more then anything. Not make them bigger. Also for complete look i wouldn't just do biceps but work in some triceps also.

Been maintaining after a long cutting phase. Just gonna try to not ruin it all for the holidays.

Good spotters are hard to find. I spotted a guy doing 315 on the incline bench the other night. First two reps went ok. He started to huff and puff about halfway through rep #3. Then he looked up at me with a "why aren't you helping?" look. Funny as hell . All I had to do was put my hands on the bar and he pressed it right up, no help from me at all.

Now he thinks I'm a bad spotter because I made him do all the work. Ah well, to be unappreciated in one's own lifetime!!!

Keep up the training bro. Be good.

i should have made my situation clearer but basically I just wanted to make sure it wouldn't hurt me as in lifting heavy with my arms but nothing else.

I figured if people still lift heavy while cutting then in my situation if I just did arms which is all Im really worried about keeping then I could be ok.

Months back I was progressing well with weight loss and always lifted weights but didn't gain size obviously.

then I started getting depressed and taking some medicines that fuck my system up and fatigue me terribly. I cannot hang with the full weight workouts and doing cardio. and my cardio will be on a stationary bike.


I thought maybe less weight training also might allow my arms to recover quicker and put less stress on my body which is already trying to heal.


I would just not do arms either but like I said Im kind of obsessed with keeping what little I have their and if lifting weights hard while doing all my other stuff can help and not hurt me I want to do it that way.

thanks for the info!

if your arms are mostly muscle they will lose no significant size during a cutting cycle.
