SevenStar Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 if you can do 15 reps, that's too light to gain any significant strength with, unless you are a relative newbie to strength training. It will work for building muscular endurance though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dixon3133 Posted September 10, 2004 Author Share Posted September 10, 2004 I'm lowering the number from 15 too 12. My arms seem alittle sore so i'm gonna skip lifting tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Dragon Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 you should lift only every other night,muscles need time to heal..cant rush things.Dont just do your arms and upperbody,remember to also do bunnie hops to help build up endurance and thigh muscles.
