Who lifts weights? - GoFuckYourself.com

sickkittens · 05-02-2006, 11:01 AM

If I'm working on my biceps and triceps, is it more productive to use more weight for X amount of times or less weight MORE than X amount of times?

Raven · 05-02-2006, 11:05 AM

My trainer has me doing both.

I will use a lighter weight first and do more reps per set. Then I move on to a heavier weight and do less reps for the second set.

But, he also has me doing three different things...so it's a set of lighter weight, move on to a machine with lighter weight, move on to a half ball with lighter weights...that's one set.

Then, the weight gets heavier and I do less reps for the second and third sets......

It's also the 'how' that counts. It's not how fast I can do it; it's how controlled I am when I'm doing whatever it is I'm doing.

depends on what your goal is?

sickkittens · 05-02-2006, 12:00 PM

Do you take supplements or powders? (Whey, Creatine, etc.)?

if you wanna bulk up, use HIGHER weights and LESS reps

you wanna get cut, use LOW weights and HIGH reps

But....

I wouldnt suggest working the Bicep and tricep on the same day or same session. They are contradicting muscles. One push the others pull.

s9ann0 · 05-02-2006, 12:02 PM

I would mix it up 8 rep sets r sposed to be best so do them but I would do 12+ sets if you feel like it its all good for you

I think a lot of these tips like "only do x reps for x sets blah " are for "pros" and most people just wanna get strong not look like a steroid abuser

Thanks. I actually haven't been doing both during same day but didn't think of it that way.

you could do triceps and chest in one session then do biceps and shoulders/back on the next workout. Much better flow.

Just fuck in the missionary position for about an hour.

That also depends on if you wanna bulk up or work every angle of the chest. For bulking up, i would just stick to the bench press. start with a weight you can do 5-10 presses with. Do like 5 sets. Once you feel like you can do more then 10 with the weight you started with, push up the weights till your doing only 5-10 max. Works well for me.

You can also try using two dumbells (like 20 LB each to start with) and doing butterflys onthe incline bench, a flat bench and a declined bench. That shit works almost every lil piece of your chest.

JuiceMonkey · 05-02-2006, 12:47 PM

bulk = low reps high weight
cardio/endurance = high reps low weight
you can't "cut" or 'tone' certain areas by working them out more...

think about it this way, would you want the body of an endurance (long/endurance)
or a 100M dasher (short/high energy)
and there's your answer.

Xaid · 05-02-2006, 12:47 PM

try isometrics in your spare time at your computer or while stuck at a light in your car

Pornwolf · 05-02-2006, 12:54 PM

Walk on your hands as much as possible.

That's what my trainer said....LOL

Have you been talking to him?

In the beginning, he told me, without dieting, I'd have a beautiful set of muscles under neath all that fat.

Sasha13 · 05-02-2006, 01:26 PM

First question I would get answered is what type body do you have Mesomorph,ectomorph etc...Some people are not capable of putting on more than a certain amount of size so lifting heavy will not do much except injure you. Talk to a trainer at the gym they can help you figure this out.

In the short run if you are looking for muscle strength for baseball I would do 8-10 reps at a medium weight for 3 days (break your routine into chest/tris, back/bis, legs and shoulders), taking one day off and then doing 3 days of light wieghts 12-15 reps. I play a lot of hockey and this gives me a good strength/endurance mix. I would also suggest at least 20 minutes of cardio (running or elliptical) a day to get your body in shape...and avoid slurpies

Hope this helps.

Linkster · 05-02-2006, 01:38 PM

I do lots of curls every night - but real light weights (less than a pound) but the repetitions definitely help (of course so does the liquid in the "weights").

Young · 05-02-2006, 04:11 PM

Presses and Flys to build chest muscles.

No...that weight and reps bullshit is a myth.

Just remain consistent. I do 4 sets of 8 reps. After my muscles get used to that I'll do 4 sets of 6 reps with heavier weight...simply to break up the monotony of lifting weights. It has nothing to do with definition.

hova · 05-02-2006, 04:12 PM

heavy weights and max 12 reps

Pleasurepays · 05-02-2006, 04:30 PM

for future reference, if you want an answer that makes sense, understand that no one can give a real answer without knowing the basics about you... your goals, your stats, your workout routines and your diet. all these things work together and all matter equally.

otherwise, it might not be a wise thing to seek health advice on a board for of people who are not only notoriously ignorant assholes.. but who also represent the most fucked up and out of shape of any industry. go to musclemag.com or bodybuilding.com or any other one of 1000's of places with informed people and intelligent discussions on the issue.

look at my body dumbass....if you can't talk bodybuilding with me then you can't talk bodybuilding to know one. I have a fucking V shape for christs sake. I am not a block. A fucking 32" inch waist and 16" arms. Can you even imagine?

I'm not looking to be Ronnie Coleman dumbass. I'm looking to feel better and look awesome.
