With such a topic so broad we truly try to cover the basics from all angles in this group. Nothing too big or too small. Nutrition is as significant if not more as exercise is to reaching your goals so learn all you can.

jhadams Posts: 175 Joined: 2003/03/27	2003/04/10, 07:46 AM carivan, is it better to increase weight on your sets? I have been going though with the same weight and am pretty burned in the 4th set. dont know if i could possibly go up! of course, i have only been hitting the weights again for the past 2 weeks.
7707mutt Posts: 7,686 Joined: 2002/06/18	2003/04/10, 08:47 AM Yes it is better to increase if you can. Why lift the same weight over and over? Try to add 5-10lbs onto each set if you can do nto be afraid to miss the reps if you stay in 6-10 range you will build muscle......good luck -------------- IF YOU CAN STILL ITCH YOUR NOSE AFTER ARM DAY, GO DO ANOTHER SET!!!
jhadams Posts: 175 Joined: 2003/03/27	2003/04/10, 08:55 AM Thanks mutt - signed the rookie
Carivan Posts: 8,542 Joined: 2002/01/20	2003/04/10, 03:34 PM Hive it time jhadams. Your muscles and body are getting used to the new routine you are putting it through. At the beginning you will see some fantastic changes.Try and increase the weights on the next workout for the same muscle on the 2nd or 3rd set, like mutt said 5-10lbs. -------------- We must become the change we want to see.
