James M said:When it comes to biceps, you're not supposed to be lifting mega weights, they are, after all, relatively small muscles. The guys you seeing curling their own bodyweight etc are 99.99% of the time using very poor form.
Go for form over weight every time, and try hitting your arms with combination super sets.
James M said:Mase, it is virtually impossible to curl your own weight WITH GOOD FORM!
Though I'm not saying every guy you ever see putting a bit of momentum into a curl is wrong, 'cheating' is actually used to good effect by some advanced bodybuilders to supplement strict form.
I'm 5'10, 14 stone and my arms are, errr.... I've never actually put a tape measure on them, the are definitely bigger than my neck though, which is 16".
You are lucky Mase, if you can get away with no cardio, I'm an easy gainer and whilst strength and muscle come easy, so does a belly

dillinger39 said:He also said I need to go for a weight large enough for you to comfortablly lift five times. But not too small that your able to keep repeating the lifting motion for around 15 to 20 times.
dillinger39 said:as long as they look bigger by the christmas doo.
i don't really care hehehe
nah thats bad am doing it all for my self, tbh. My muscles have changed drastically over the time i have gone to the gym but not enough for my liking.
i do three sets of 8 reps on all the weight machines. Leaving a total of two minutes recovery time. My trainer said that was the best way for me.

luke1985 said:Whats that protein shake you use mase? Never bothered with them before but may give them a try after a failure with creatine.
Ive not put much more muscle mass on for a while, although my strength and endurance have gone up alot more. Think im stuck in another platau
mase said:its this one http://www.bodyshapersfitness.com/prodView.asp?idProduct=122 the chocolate mint tastes gorgeous, just like choc mint ice cream, stick 2 scoops in a pint of milk right after a workout, i found that i had to literally force feed myself tho, and eating pasta and complex carbs right before u go to bed helps as well!
taking that got me off my plateau of 10 stone 6, upto 11 stone in about 2 months so i was quite impressed.
awesome price compared to maxi muscle / la muscle stuff as well!
luke1985 said:I yoyo between 12.5 to 13 stone even though ive put on more muscle Oh well, a new routine, may aswell finish off this huge tub of creatine, and start off on the protein shakes and see what happens
dillinger39 said:what does this word mean
plateau
you have mentioned this word and i don't know it. Is it where your body stays constant and gets used to your exercise regime.
i.e if you run 1000 metres day after day after day it will start to get easier. But try doing 2000 metres and you get really tired by the end of it
