If you have been using the same weights for 4 years and they will not grow or gain strength, then that is what is wrong. Lower the reps and add weight. -------------- Less Talk, More Chalk! 7707mutt@freetrainers.com

	2005/03/21, 03:18 AM besides wasting your time with 100 rep sets...you were doing same weight time after time...to make gains you must progressively increase the weight.... pick a weight with which you can do just 8 reps for 8 sets....2 exercises for 4 sets each.... try doing ez bar curls...while sitting or standing...and try one handed-concentration or alternating DB curls...
