To the fitness freaks..
I baught a dumbbell set, weighing at 3KG per dumbbell. I just wanted to know how often to work out on them?
Be it once a day, or twice? How many bicep curls per workout etc?
Just want to get rid of the fat that's gaining on my arms and juice up the old muscles.
Replies much appreciated!It's Scott!

You need to follow a workout schedule...
I do:
Mon - Back & Bis
Tues - Chest & Tris
Wed - Legs
Thurs - Shoulders, calves and abs
now as for reps.. go for like 3 sets * 10-15 reps [pick a weight that is challenging for yourself]webmaster A T 420th.com

If you want to burn the fat on your arms here is what to do :
Barbell Curls :
set high reps in three sets, you should feel the sweating. Don't stop until you sweats. This is how you are going to loose the fat . Don't do heavy this will instead produce more mass on your arms.
Hammer:
follow the same
I believe if you do arms 4 times a week or 3 times a week with concentration, you can have great biceps.
Set a schedule or follow mine :
MON : Chest with legs
TUS : Back with biceps
Wed: Shoulders with triceps
Thur : both biceps triceps together
Fri : Chest again
Sat : Mix
Sun : REST

Don't train only your arms. You should do a full body workout, much easier to loose weight that way.

not to mention it saves you the emberassement of your arms being huge and your chest and lower body being MUCH smaller.

I trained with George Turner, a world class body builder. We would do upper body on Monday and Thursday. Lower body on Tuesday and Friday. You need the break between workouts for the small muscle tears to heal but this is what builds it up. You can't and shouldn't work the same area every day.
Do three sets of each exercise with increasing weight but decreasing reps. iow, if you curl a 15-pound bar for 12 reps, the next should be 17 1/2 pounds for 10 reps, then 20 pounds for 8 reps.
I got in the best shape I've been in since high school but once you break the workout, it all fades away quickly.IE7 is nine years behind the standards or wrong.
But it works in IE!

creatine is good, but if you're training everyday, and going to failure like you should be, then you're overtraining. simple as that. you are doing more damage than good if you're overtraining. luckily you won't be feeling it as much with creatine.

Failure is for weak people. I just go to the gym and go to all the machines. Lots of protein and creatine.
Man i have been doing to for like 2 years. I just have great endurance. When young i used to run miles without stoping with no water and do many many pushups. I push it to the limit. Many people are surprised at how i drink less water than most people.

Everytime I step on the treadmill or lift weights, I wanna stop. But as soon as that feeling sets in you start to perform.BeeServe

Jogging for 10 minutes outside is worth jogging for 30 minutes on the treadmill.

Hmm, I wouldn't agree with that. Your heart rate needs to climb up to a cardio or range in order to be truly beneficial, which generally takes 25-30 minutes of plain jogging.
Despite that, yes, running outside is indeed more strenuous than running on a treadmill. Different scientific tests have been performed on the subject, however most attribute it to the resistance of air on your body.█ JetNet, LLC

I bought a lateral thigh trainer last week. Really impressed so far.

Perhaps the treadmill loses out, but simple physics dictate that to move an object a certain distance will use the same amount of energy, regardless of speed.

I don't like sporting inside. I also do weightlifting myself, but I don't consider that "doing sports" though. It would fall more in the category of body building, which isn't a sport imo as there's no game element in it.
I've been doing karate for 11 years, and I'm also a lot into rugby (haven't joined a team yet, but I think I will soon). Staying fit that way is a whole lot more fun than doing fitness. The only time when you'll find me on a threadmill is to warm up for weightlifting.
Just wondering, what sports are you all into? I personally mainly do karate, rugby, motorsports and sailing. And I can see some people claim that sailing isn't a sport, but if you really do races and constantly have to hang outside the boat just to keep it upright, you'll see you're gonna be exhausted after doing it for an hourLast edited by Apoc; 01-16-2007 at 09:20 PM.
