well, your triceps SHOULD be stronger than your biceps since they comprise of about 70% of your arm's muscle mass

is there a certain area in your bicep you feel that is lagging, such as the inner or outer area of your biceps? then i'd be able to probably list some specific exercises to help out

one thing i also find common (which i also did when i 1st started lifting) was that many people tend to not go the full range of motion when performing most bicep exercises... an example being a typical barbell/dumbbell bicep curl, i see a lot of people sort of "throw" the weight up in the beginning of the rep when they really should be focusing on pulling the weight up with mainly their biceps while flexing it.

another example would be preacher curls, which is one of the best mass exercises for biceps because of the isolation. i see so many people at the gym not lowering the weight as low as they can. when this exercise is done properly, it will really tear up your biceps.

Sooo.. today I went to the gym and there's this obnoxious Schwarzenegger-wannabe muscle-man there, every time he went to do an exercise he moaned fucking loud "AUUUUUUGHHH UMPPFFFFFF OHHHHHHHH". Quite annoying and over the top, but I guess when you get a lot of weight on top of you, you tend to do that more often and it possibly helps a bit, so ok. I didn't even think it was too bad when he went to put the tv louder, cause he obviously luuuuuuuuuuuved what MTV was playing, the corniest "love song" i've ever heard, some emo-rock fag repeating "it's toooooo late to apologiiiiiiiiiiiize" over and over again. Well, it's ok to have to shitty taste in music I guess.

Then when I finish my workout I go to the vests to change clothes, and the guy is there in the showers... still moaning obnoxiously. Taking a bath and screaming "OHHHH UMMMMMMM UHHHHHH". I changed my clothes the fastest I could, and got the hell out of there before he took his dildo out of his ass or whatever the fuck he was doing.

^^^hey nothing wrong with apologize by one republic


as for the moaning that's so weird. are you sure he was alone in the shower?

just got back from my 11 mile run before I go deal with black Friday! And I'm almost up to six months of regular gym attendance. I weigh 106 but bench 165

Yep. There was only 2 other guys at the gym, the owner which was at the computer, and some guy which was on a bike. Friday mornings are slow.

I think he was only moaning because of feeling tired, but it was freaking ridiculous.

actually no, concentrate on getting through my cardio workouts without falling down. instead of reading for 60min on the bike i set the elliptical to the interval setting for 30min and push myself hard. no way i can read while doing that.

had an awesome workout on saturday muscles i haven't felt in the longest time were sore

wow thats crazy man. When i started off i was similar to you. 5"11 110 -115 lbs. So i guess we share the same bodytype. I would suggest mastering your body weight first (Dips chinups pull ups pushups). Then add on the lbs with a training belt. You'll find you'll get yoru stabilizers working and you'll excell at various excercises quickly.


Benching 165 at 106 is awesome!. lol i was barely doing the bar at 115 lbs.


Seems like your doing very well though. keep it up. Post your stats.

2 week break with cigarettes mcdonalds and little sleep. Ill start my noxplode cycle again tomorrow though lol.


I got up to 150 lbs benching 205 3 times.
5 dips at bodyweight +115 lbs
squat still a shitty 135 x 10
lat pull ups bodyweight + 90 (5 reps)


.. anyawys im starting fresh again so i figure im back downto about 145 lbs or so. Going to do bicpes and back tomorrow.

Work will be so slow today

My new whey protein just came in a few days ago! wooot! I'd seriously recommend any of you guys/gals supplementing their whey to try this product out: NOW Whey Protein Isolate (Natural).

After a lot of pricematching I was able to find it at a very affordable price: www.allstarhealth.com/f/now-whey_pr...ate_natural.htm

I think this deal is pretty insane because a typical 10lb bag of Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey will run you around $75 at least, and ON100% is comprised of a mixture of both whey isolate and whey concentrate (obv more concentrate). NOW's brand contains only whey isolate. Whey isolate is much more efficient because it is 90-98% protein and contains less fat and lactose in comparison to whey concentrate. Whey concentrate will contain 75-85% protein I believe. Getting a 10lb bag of Whey isolate, which is generally more expensive than whey concentrate, for only $65 is a great deal imo.


I honestly don't even know why I typed this. If anyone is looking for some good whey to try at an affordable price, I highly recommend this. It actually tastes really good too.


Anyway, I'll be lurking the forums all day so I will be an e-tranceaddictpersonaltrainer for the day

^^^I can't bring myself to drink those shakes for long. I have some tasty Kashi vanilla protein shake mix at home but I'll drink it for two / three days then stop completely. What are the benefits to actually drinking these? Persuade me that they are worthwhile...Yes I'll increase my protein intake but it's not like I can't just eat more meat. I'm female and don't rip apart my muscles with each workout as a guy would. Also I refuse to replace a meal for one of those. I don't eat much as it is to begin with so why not just enjoy solid food?

I don't necessarily consider whey protein a viable meal replacement as well and I would not recommend having meals of only whey protein. In the morning, I have 2 scoops with 1 1/2 cups of water along with my oatmeal. About 10-15 minutes after my workout, I make the same shake but also add 30-35 grams of maltodextrin to spike my insulin levels. Postworkout is really the only time that I take whey protein without any food... but I do make sure to have a nice meal 60-90 mins later


It's especially important to take whey protein directly after a workout because nutrients are drained from your body after a workout, and muscle-wasting hormones are off the charts. Whey protein is the protein with the fastest rate of digestion and absorption in our bodies... Whey will help build and repair muscles after a workout quicker and better because of its fast absorption rate. It also contains a lot of amino acids that are essential for everyone, not just weightlifters, for good health. Because the protein I recommended is more pure, that means it will also contain more amino acids in comparison to whey concentrate supps and whey concentrate/isolate mixtures. Even though you aren't doing heavy workouts that are tearing your muscles apart, it is still beneficial.

OH, i also forgot to say that after a workout, your muscles become dehydrated. It is absolutely essential that you mix your shake with a good amount of water. The water also helps in transporting the protein to your muscles.

In regards to your Kashi protein shake (I will assume that the majority of the protein is soy), I see no problem taking that in the morning alongside with your meal. You do not necessarily have to take whey in the morning (I know some mix it up by taking casein protein instead), but you still need to get an adequate amount of protein.



Btw, I'm not making myself out to be an all-knowing expert. If anyone has anything to add or notices I said something wrong, feel free to contribute.

^that was helpful...maybe i'll drink one after my workout today and mix with water instead of milk. also i guess i DO need the protein so no harm in drinking the shake. thanks!

what may work for you may not work for others! we are all different but the majority of what you said sounds about right to me. Most important thing about protein consumption is that it should be ingested no more then 30min-1hr post workout.

Also, protein should be ingested by absorbing it through your eyeballs.

I've seen this happen in several good pr0ns.
