I have noticed over the last few years that my arms look a little jiggly..you know the area.I have been doing french Presses and tri-cep dips--but they just dont seem to firm up.Anyone have any other excercises to tone up the tri-ceps??? mel

If you've got a muscle there, and I'm sure you do, it will be underneath the fat that's under your skin.

I don't know Mel. I look around the gym etc. and figure it is in your genes to a certain extent. I fortunately don't have the problem but I think what you are already doing is just about all you can do. Unless you need to lose weight as well, that may help. Hilary
