bigandrew Posts: 5,146 Joined: 2002/10/21	2004/11/24, 10:30 AM I knwo there is mutt. however menace said peopel get bigger as we get older due to the slower metabolism, people know that as they get older but they still consume the same as they did when they are 20, so when it comes down to it, its the descesion of what to put in our mouths. Which now adays is fast food. ============ Quoting from menace3000: everything i said is common knowledge.... 1. metabolism slows down as we get older 2. natural testosterone peaks around 30 for most guys and then starts to fall off Americans on average gain pounds over the years because they metabolism falls off...so they need to consume less calories...but their body doesn't adjust so they continue eating same calories...hence gradual weight/fat increase... Americans however, have issues of obesity beyond what i mentionaed before...but this is on top of that.... But yea we can drop this thread...it served it purpose...takes forever to load on my dial up LOL ============= -------------- The following, has not be approved by the FDA or FT, it was not meant to diagnose,treat,or prevent any diease(s) Please consult a moderator or doctor before using any of the suggestions or comments.
Kev99 Posts: 104 Joined: 2004/08/15	2004/11/25, 12:46 AM Barbell curls and alternate dbell curls are great. When doing alternate curls, keep the weight horizontal the whole time, ull really feel the shock. Ull grow too. But i really like preacher cable curls. try em, ull really feel the burn.
	2004/11/25, 02:44 AM what an actual bicep related answer? how dare you!
	2004/11/25, 03:01 AM But you can get great mass with any number of exercises: -Standing Alternating DB Curls/Hammer Curls you can also do them sitting on straight bench or incline bench -Sitting Concentration DB curls you can also do them standing -Standing EZ-Bar Curls with wide grip -Sitting Preacher EZ-Bar Curls with narrow grip -barbell curls with various grips -Sitting or Standing Cable Curls -Spider Curls(Chest into incline bench) -Chin-ups(underhand grip) are also very good to get mass do reps of under 8 for working sets, tho don't be afraid to switch it up...if you feel like going high reps...do it..to get that burn...etc...just make sure the main focus is on low reps...also don't be afraid of going really low..for a couple reps once in a while...this might not be popular...but as long as you maintain good form...and use proper precussions, you should be fine... Do 2-3 exercises per workouts, 4-8 reps... So here's a sample workout: Standing EZ-bar Curls or Standing Alternative DB Curls (12*,8,6,4) Sitting Concentration Curls (12*,8,4,2) Each rep means you will do those reps or less....if you can do mroe reps than specified...then you're doing too light of weight Also don't be afraid to throw in certain exercises just for liek 1 set to get the burn...or to finish off your routine.. hope this helps...gl

bb1fit Posts: 11,105 Joined: 2001/06/30	2005/10/06, 01:05 PM Z mass will not get you muscles. The weight you should use is simply one that challenges the muscle. If you do not challenge the muscle, it has not reason to adapt and grow stronger/larger. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com
solidmoe Posts: 7 Joined: 2005/11/19	2005/11/23, 07:01 PM I totally agree with bb1fit, Smart man, Ok listen it doesn't matter what you take, unless your stupid enough to take steroids, the way we are made is so we are able to heal and grow from hard work. Our muscles become stronger from the weights and they learn to adapt, exactly what bb said, therefore they can withstand those weights in the future, the tiny muscle fibers tear from the weights and grow stronger, when your muscles get tired and fatigued, that is when their is lactic acid build up, but being sore the next day shows that your muscles did work hard and are growing. Never over do it and form is the key to creating a healthy and strong body!!! Peace out.

Relique Posts: 187 Joined: 2004/03/17	2007/03/26, 06:49 AM Something I was told recently by a guy I work with and seems to (at least feel) like it will work to get some bicep mass. Doing Preacher curls use dumbbells, and instead of bringing them up in a hammer style bring them up so your pinkie would make contact with your shoulder, if you were to go all the way. Also, don't go all the way to your shoulder, once you reach peak resistance (about 45 degree angle from a level plane) hold it for a second, then bring your arm back down and repeat. The way "Capt Green" explained this to me was that once you pass that point in your rep you are no longer doing any work. Good idea or bad? I have only done it for a week, going to give it a shot for a while and see if I can see a differance.
chachman Posts: 9 Joined: 2007/06/03	2007/06/04, 12:13 AM you have to still lift with your lower body too (or so i've been told) something to do with the growth of your muscles if you stop lifting with your lower body apperently eventually you will hit a brick wall with your growth. also you shouldn't be looking for mass you should be looking for strength -------------- \"Human nature, I do something nice for you, then you do something nice for me like not kill me.

edwardJ Posts: 25 Joined: 2005/10/24	2007/06/18, 06:26 AM if you do pullups is there any need to bother with barbell curls to increase the size/strength of your biceps? i find pull ups to be enough already
ryanleash10 Posts: 1 Joined: 2008/02/08	2008/02/08, 08:01 PM as far as i understand pull ups are primaily a lat exercise so in answer to ur question yes dumbells and preacher curl bar for bieps are essential!!!!!
Poundz Posts: 1 Joined: 2010/02/26	2010/03/09, 05:32 PM I used to lift heavy metals until about 6 months back when I switched to doing light weight/more reps. I've realized the light weights are even beginning to seem pretty heavy now and I can't even do the heavy weight no longer. How would you propose I get over this situation as I'm also noticing no change in my body as far as muscle increment or definition. I really need some help on this. -------------- Train hard, expect results.
