reducing fat on triceps?

[buffgrl23]

I recently had my bodyfat measured again using calipers. It was 14% which I was very pleased with. However, my triceps are much fatter than the rest of my upper body. They were 14% versus 7-9% in my stomach and back. My legs were 17% which is expected as women generally carry more fat in their lower body. Are there specific exercises that I should be doing to help reduce the fat on my triceps?

You can not spot reduce.

Diet. If your body holds it's fat in various proportions across your body, then you will reduce bodyfat accordingly.

YES to YES!


And also building the tricep itself to create the illusion of less fat.

True, you cannot spot reduce and diet is the only thing that will get the fat to go bye-bye. But Id also suggest that you start incorporating tricep moves like bench dips, french press (or lying extensions - they are the BEST, BEST, BEST!!!!!!!!) and kickbacks.

Also developing the muscle will make it firmer and appear less fatty

Good LUCK and keep us posted

I have that SAME problem. Fat across my body has seriously dwindle, and yet the calipers are showing 1mm difference in my triceps. Pisses me off!
