thedominator Posts: 288 Joined: 2005/02/16	2005/03/27, 03:50 PM my arms are pretty weak as compared to my other body.. by weak i mean not the bulk.. thats okay.. i'm talking about power.. as compared to my other body parts my muscles of arms do not have enough power... thats the reason i want to wear them so that the muscles get use to a little bit more burden then what they are doing now resulting in increased power (as the body adopt to the change)... is it a good idea or should i avoid it? -------------- A life worth living is a life lived with honor and dignity..bow to no moral and bowed by none..

I mean carying extra weights on yoru wrists can't be good for anything, hows and extra 5lbs hanging from your arms all day long gonna make you stronger? -------------- " The only true eye, is your minds eye"- plato

Your ligamnetsand cartlage will be whats taking the beating. muscles have lil to do with actually supporting a joint.They just move that joint. Think of this......grab a dumbell and hold it in the weight room. Now walk around.......how the hell is that gonna make your arms bigger? Your arm naturally swing, but thats not gonna make you have bigger arms. when they swing they pivot at the shoulder, not elbow. theres nothing quick abotu working out, nor any quick fixs. Every guy wants big arms.....and its comes from work( hard work) So i'm telling you AGAIN its a waste of time and money. -------------- " The only true eye, is your minds eye"- plato
