I don't want to be "that guy", but if you have bat wings at your weight/ height, may be you can get your body fat percentage measured. It might be on the higher side.

This thread is from 2015 I would venture to guess the issue has been resolved and you will not be getting any photos.

?

Thin people can have batwings, dude. If the muscle isn't suitably exercised, what little fat she has that's in the tricep area will hang. Women tend to store fat there and in their hips/legs/middle areas so it is very possible that her body fat percentage is acceptable but it all comes down to where the fat falls.

Again, if a person doesn't want to have batwings, they're going to have to build up their triceps, and for that matter their arms in general.

She is 44 and said she is STARTING to get bat wings. It is a normal part of aging if you are not a super athlete.

Nope, women get them at any weight as they age, not unless they are genetic freaks or work out for a living.

I have no butt though. At 44 My arms are starting to get "bat wings"- ugh.
What can I do? I won't do squats because my mom had to get that mesh put in that you see lawsuits for.
I want to get in shape as quickly as possible, can go to gym about 5 times a week.
Right now I do:
  • Modern stair climber at level 5 for 26 minutes and cool down.
  • Leg extension machine sitting and on tummy (3 sets of 10)
  • Leg squats on a sitting machine 35 pounds plus calves and butt work (two sets until it burns.)
  • Bench press machine 40 pounds three reps but I do it above bar, equal to bar and below bar.
  • Sometimes the rowing thing
  • Triceps a lot but they never hurt afterwards. Not sure I am doing them right.
  • I do some contraption that works obliques and arms.
  • I eat garbanzo beans and hot sauce every night before bed (now) for protein. Skip breakfast because I am still full. Don't eat much during the day. Eat more at night...pretty nutritious.
I want:
  • The stomach area flat again (had a baby) even though it looks flat it isn't when I am naked and sitting.
  • I want rounded shoulders, biceps, triceps and calves (which is a lost cause because I am too skinny for calves) but I'll try.
  • Quads
  • Hamstrings
Help! Any suggestions to make the process quicker and more efficient with my time. I have no idea how to use the dumb bells either. I have definite tone and no cellulite so that is good.
If your bod is so hot how 'bout a pic? Why don't you have one on your profile page? Most hot women I know who go so far as to mention it on an internet forum (?) are not hesitant to flaunt it, or at least offer a modest pic. BTW....115 is awful skinny for 5-8. My wife is that height and weighs 20 lbs more and has a killer bod. Are you sure you have curves? LOL
