Our First Lady has the best arms by far. She looks great!
I blame Linda Hamilton for this.
Watch a movie from any decade pre-90s.....especially the 30s-70s.
You'll see women who could actually wear sleeveless dresses without looking like a gnarly body-builder; softish, womanly arms - and HANDS! Lovely feminine hands have been a side casualty in this arms race, it is the rare celeb who has nice hands anymore (Michelle Obama is the exception!)
It's one thing to stay healthy and toned - but these 'cut' biceps and obsession with muscular female arms is blech.
It's called "fit" or skinny. Maybe some people prefer the flabby look.
Jessica Biel has the best arms. She was very hot in her last movie Powder Blue: http://www.actressscene.com/2009/07/jessica-biel-video-from-powder-blue.html
I'm sure this must be a repeat comment and I apologize for not sifting through all 209 of them so far but where are the complaints about *men's* "ripped, striated" arms? Apparently we're supposed to find steroid-bulked hulks and their bulging blood vessels the height of sensuality but rip apart women who have, I'm sure, worked hard for a little definition in their muscles. Believe me, I am no Madonna fan but she's got some lovely musculature for a woman of 50. Let's get a little real and fair here.
Let's call an end to this arms race once and for all.
Ahhhh... Madonnas arms, so this is what all the fuss has been about. I know she's keeping fit, but that is pretty scary. I workout and i'm pretty cut. But hey i'm a guy. tone it down Madge

hey this is my first visit to your blog i really enjoyedreraqding your blog thanks for sharing
Sharapova and WIlliams are both in the midst of intense physical activity- they are flexing. Hitting a tennis ball with the power that they put into it requires strength, making the muscles look bigger and more 'ripped' then they do normally.
If you had pictures of the other girls doing push-ups, pull-ups, lifting weights, etc, it would be a fair comparison.
Oh, Come on!! Venus Williams and Maria Sharapova are freakin' professional athletes.....in TENNIS for God's sake!!!!! What are their arms suppose to look like?
These are 2 people who need not be included in this stupid article.
My god, women are damned if we do and damned it we don't!!
If they had waddle under their arms, you'd be talking about how they have wings and need to work out!
I am all for any woman who is healthy and fit. There's a difference between cut and defined arms from exercise and skinny arms from being undernourished.
Jessica Biel, Michelle Obama, Venus Williams, Maria Sharapova, madonna, Kelly Ripa.....EXERCISE.
Angelina Jolie, Lindsey Lohan, Amy Winehouse....MAL_NOURISHED. Seriously, Amy Winehouse! Jeesh!
OMG, i can't even waste any more time on this nonsense.
Seriously, do we ask if Terell Owens is too ripped? Whoever wrote this piece does not know what toned arms look like. Madonna is toned, Amy Winehose is an anorexic substance abuser, same with poor Lindsay Lohan. Those are not muscles, they are bones with tissue hanging off. How terribly insulting to ask if professional tennis players have too toned arms.
Madonna's arms are pretty scary.
There is nothing sexy about having arms like a CrackHead.
lol
Human Growth Hormone
A great and disciplined diet - watching carbs
And an effective exercise program....
No. People should be in shape. This is better than having us read about sagging arms. Let's get with the program and stop with merry-go-round of comments.
"and we are not saved..."
