dahayz Posts: 794 Joined: 2002/05/08	2004/03/24, 04:39 PM oops, posted to soon, anyway, most adults males can barley curl 120-150, let alone a 15 year old who has only been training for a month.

goldengloves Posts: 690 Joined: 2003/09/19	2004/03/25, 09:22 AM mutt-I pat you on the bicep!...I can only dream to curl that much....Now doing DB curls I can usually get around 50 in each hand well around 40-45 w/ perfect form....150 bb curls is just insane I probably couldnt get it up an inch lol.....
bigandrew Posts: 5,146 Joined: 2002/10/21	2004/03/26, 03:52 PM 14 in bicep and can curl 150? ok big differance in that 120 and 150 man,......nto saying your lying but me an dmutt have some of the biggest arms in here, and we can't curl that.......i'm out with a bicep/ brachalis strain so I can't go very heavy, but still at my prime I did 115 for 5 reps no movement except for my arms. Either you have alot of fast twitch muscle fibers, or you was rocking all over the place and pretty much cleaning it......just my opinion -------------- .......adversity causes some to break, but others to break records! ......minds are not vessles to be filled, but fires to be enlightened ......Confucious once said ,DO NOT play leap frog with a unicorn
benching Posts: 125 Joined: 2004/03/14	2004/03/26, 03:58 PM i never said perfect form, but i just went and checked and pulled off 95 perfect form for 2 reps(slightest cheat on 2nd rep) so u guys were right but i still think this is pretty good for 15. wat u think?

bigandrew Posts: 5,146 Joined: 2002/10/21	2004/03/29, 11:45 AM speaking of biceps and doing large amounts of weight curling, I have to work out in the rec center at my college( its free) but its not that bad. Only thing i don't like is that people lift where their egos and not their heads. People are so concerend about how much, than how they are lifting it. Peopel arch their back into a back bend, people rock back to do curls, all cause they wanna look "cool" cause they are curling god knows how much, or benching 250, then get up and say, " man my back is always hurting!" Freaking Duh! But since i'm passive agressive, and quiet so I keep my head phones on and go about my workout, but i do shoot some " what the hell are you doing looks"..................I think under every weight room door their should be the following saying...... ......"Leave your ego at the door!"...... just my opinion though.:dumbbell: -------------- .......adversity causes some to break, but others to break records! ......minds are not vessles to be filled, but fires to be enlightened ......Confucious once said ,DO NOT play leap frog with a unicorn
dahayz Posts: 794 Joined: 2002/05/08	2004/03/29, 11:47 AM I think we scared away benching. Maybe he tore his biceps after going for 160 for 2 good reps, and he's only 15!:big_smile::laugh:

basia Posts: 2 Joined: 2004/04/26	2004/04/26, 11:41 PM hey you guys is it at all unattractive when girls have big arms?....i mean im 15, a girl gymnast, and my arms are around 15 and only getting bigger!...dose that make me seem manly?:(
garvani Posts: 43 Joined: 2004/04/01	2004/04/27, 06:18 AM ermm well your a gymnast so i feel its ok, but in saying that your arms are bigger than mine :-( Guys how long does it take to put on some inches!? im like 13" now.. so lets say i have the perfect diet, good workout habits, how fast could i put on say 3 inches? (thats my medium term goal).. all i can say is im glad i live in new zealand, ive got another 8 months before summer.. hopefully pleanty of time to get another 3 inches in.. i just started working out 3 weeks ago btw...
dahayz Posts: 794 Joined: 2002/05/08	2004/04/27, 07:51 AM Hey basia, I personally think it is great when a girl has muscular arms, but, then again, I am naturally attracted to women who have a little bit of muscle.
Thelastsamurai Posts: 5 Joined: 2004/04/23	2004/04/27, 11:39 AM LOL...i find that hard to believe basia or should i call you benching?! I am 18, 5 ft 7'' and have 14 inch biceps which i also think need to be bigger!(i have only just recently started working out again)

basia Posts: 2 Joined: 2004/04/26	2004/04/27, 09:14 PM hey....thelastsamurai...you try workin out like two hours a day for five years...then tell me how big your arms get....
howdiekat Posts: 1,345 Joined: 2003/05/22	2004/04/27, 10:56 PM i'm with you basia, mine are 14" flexed so you've got me beat. sometimes i get funny looks at the gym for being such a hoss but i get a kick out of it. be proud of them, no one will mess with you in a dark alley! -------------- success comes before work only in the dictionary. that's right.
DanielJLove Posts: 320 Joined: 2004/03/30	2004/04/28, 02:41 AM fully flexed 17.5, which isn't much different from hanging at my side with palms forward around the largest part.
Thelastsamurai Posts: 5 Joined: 2004/04/23	2004/04/28, 01:12 PM but basia...your only 15! And if you worked out for two hours every day for the last 5 years you wouldn't be giving your muscles enough rest to grow! (sorry if you do have 15 inch biceps though, i'd only believe it when i saw it!)
clt Posts: 107 Joined: 2004/02/13	2004/04/28, 01:38 PM why all the bad talking guys?
howdiekat Posts: 1,345 Joined: 2003/05/22	2004/04/28, 02:46 PM you know samurai, some people just have naturally large muscles. when i was 13 i had 12.5" arms and i'd never lifted a weight in my life. chances are basia has a mesomorphic body type and has a naturally athletic build and can add muscle extremely easily. sometimes you have to take genetics into account before you insinuate that someone is a liar. -------------- success comes before work only in the dictionary. that's right.

(sorry if you do have 15 inch biceps though, i'd only believe it when I saw it!) I can testify to this.....shes not working out, she's doing gymnastics.....think about it?( correct me if i'm worng) I'm a cheerleader I very very rarly train my shoulders because of that fact, cause thats all cheerleading is is a power clean over and over again. I can clean high pull over my head about 225lbs. It not cause i work out constantly its cause my muscle had addapted to the workload cheerleading. Her work load is gymnastics. Think about doing dips on rings, walking on your hands, working on a horse for 2 hours a day with your body weight. That is why she has big arms. -------------- .......adversity causes some to break, but others to break records! ......minds are not vessles to be filled, but fires to be enlightened ......Confucious once said ,DO NOT play leap frog with a unicorn

howdiekat Posts: 1,345 Joined: 2003/05/22	2004/04/28, 05:49 PM now i'm generally not one to get upset about things...but if samurai's last post was in any way taking a shot at basia or myself or women in general for that matter, i'm going to have to take offense. like i said before, i'm proud of my 14" arms, and i wouldn't be proud of them if they were mostly fat. i do, however, lift hard and heavy 5 days a week and keep a super clean diet to make sure that the fat on every part of my body is minimal. with that said, if you can't take the fact that a woman might have arms that are as big or bigger than yours that do consist primarily of muscle tissue rather than fat, you should probably check your ego at the door before posting on this site because i guarantee basia and i are not the only women with big, muscular arms on ft.

7707mutt Posts: 7,686 Joined: 2002/06/18	2004/04/30, 08:04 AM Do not sweat it guys...I started at 95lbs and now my max is over 300....it just takes time and fearlessness. You need to miss reps and not hit your goal in order to hit it. I know that is weird, but it works. I added 45lbs tomy bench in 4 months by throwing the "reps" out the window. By that I mean that I had a set goal of reps for each set. Also had a weight goal for each set. If I remember it right I did something like this: set one 185x10 (this after 1-2 warm up) 205x10 225x8 245x8 265x6 275x4. Now if I made each rep on every set I added weight. If on any set over 225 I failed I stoped lowerd the weight down to the previous set and did as many reps, lowerd weight more reps etc. In 4 months I went from 185-205 as my main sets (non heavy days) to 225-255 as my working sets. It just takes time. I am not saying this is the right way but it worked for me. So just get going and keep at it!:dumbbell: -------------- LIFT HEAVY!
