Ironberg Posted February 21, 2003 Posted February 21, 2003 Now that we're on the topic of weightlifting, I'd just like to say that I never used to lift weights until recently, and in my last summer. I've seen a boost in performance in a couple areas, but I have yet to get these pitiful excuses for forearms pumped up. I can bicept curl with both arms sixty pounds at a good medium rep, but can't seem to notice much size change.

jmy77 Posted February 21, 2003 Posted February 21, 2003 Ironberg, Here is an exercise I used to do for forearms, it worked for me. Take a short bar (a stripped dumbel) Tie a rope around the middle, secure it with tape. Hold the bar with rope tied to it straight out in front of you at chest high while standing up. Cut the rope where it touches the floor. Get a weight (start light ~5lbs) tie to the bottom of the rope. Hold the bar out in front of you and turn the bar with your hands (keeping it paralell to the floor) reeling the weight up. when the weight gets to the top, unroll it. That's one rep. do as many as you can. enjoy! "Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft." - Pres.

tkdlegend Posted February 22, 2003 Posted February 22, 2003 ironberg, it also depends on what and how many exercises you are doing for your arms. when i go to work out my arms, i do 3 different tricep exercises, and 5 different bicep workouts. since doing these workouts my arms have improved dramatically! -= To truly be immortal, you must be ready to face death. =-
Ironberg Posted February 22, 2003 Posted February 22, 2003 Thanx guys. It'll definately be helpful to get an economical exercise like the one jmy77 was proposing, because I also spend alot of time on the lower body.

SaiFightsMS Posted February 23, 2003 Posted February 23, 2003 Enough silliness for this thread. Any more will result in it's closure. This forum has members from many contries and english is definately not the first language for many of them. And proper respect must be observed towards all other members when posting.
KickChick Posted February 23, 2003 Posted February 23, 2003 .... and I was looking forward to seeing Sai's weight lifting program post. Just minding the forum I see..... Unfortunately we must respect even those whose first language is English and can't get it write.... I mean "right" You'll notice more growth if you give your muscles a complete rest on your day off weight training. A popular schedule is to train your entire body over the course of 3 days, training different body parts each day, and then taking one day off. This "3-On, 1-Off" routine gives each muscle group 96 hours for rest and growth. It brings out the shape and hardness of your muscles. If you find this routine is too much work to allow maximum growth, try dividing your entire full-body routine into 2 shorter workouts, performed twice a week. So, train one-half of your body on one day, the other half the next day, then take a day off. Repeat two more days of training and follow this with 2 days-off to complete one week.
tkdlegend Posted February 23, 2003 Posted February 23, 2003 i train one body part hard a day, 5 days a week, and rest on weekends i find this works for me.. im getting good results, and ive been working out for about 10 months. also if you mix up the routine a little every now n then, that usually helps too -= To truly be immortal, you must be ready to face death. =-
