Barb123 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Hey girls, this one's for you. I have been working out seriously about 10 years now and am proud to say that I've lost a lot of weight and finally have some decent definition in my bis and tris. The trouble is that a lot of the time when I try on jackets or fitted shirts the bicep area is too snug. If I try the next biggest size, it's too big in the body. This is frustrating to say the least. Am I abnormal or is anyone else having this problem?? Thanks everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobsteriffic Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I have this one blouse that has short sleeves and it almost cuts off the circulation in my arms it's so tight! It fits perfectly everywhere else. And my biceps aren't even all that big... It's super annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djshrew Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 you're not alone, I have the same problem! If you really love something buy the larger size and take it to a tailor. I've always had this problem even before I started lifting (I don't think they thin k about women who have a chest, broad shoulders or wide back when they make these jackets) Whenever I try on a jacket or blouse and it's tight in my arms or around my back and chest I feel the the incredible hulk! lol!

vivalasvegans Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I have that going on too. The trade off is we all must look pretty good in sleeveless dresses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barb123 Posted October 28, 2010 Author Share Posted October 28, 2010 Thanks everyone!! I feel a little better.....LOL about the incredible hulk.... Yeah I don'r think they think women have shoulders or a chest either!maybe I should cool it a bit on isolating the bis and tris and just work them during chest, back and shoulders for a few weeks or so.

Baby Hercules Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 I have 13" biceps flexed and one hell of a chest. (Yes, in every sense of the phrase.) I gave up on fitted ladies fashions a long time ago. There is literally nothing in my closet with buttons. Thank god for knits and wraps!

hsorlando Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 This just happened to me the other day with a shirt that I love. It fits great everywhere but is extremely tight in the arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barb123 Posted November 2, 2010 Author Share Posted November 2, 2010 It's really annoying. Don't designers realize that some women have muscles? Geez! Not all of our arms are shaped like a twig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcina Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 For the past few years I can't find shirts that fit in the shoulders. I find cute T-shirts and just cut the sleeves off.. If I buy men's T-shirts I don't have a problem since they actually make the armholes big enough for people with muscles. I have wide lats for a girl too, which makes shirts even more snug. I wear a lot of strappy tank tops to say the least.. And hoodies in the winter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beforewisdom Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Search youtube. I remember a few years ago seeing many videos for how to cinch big baggy t-shirts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julia Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Not so much with my biceps, but my shoulders are a problem :/I just buy clothes a few sizes larger (if the material doesn't stretch).. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
