weight lifting questions

[theHSkid3]

i use 15 pounders for several arm exerceises but it seems like i dont any results

how often should i train and wats the best way to get some results?????

[CloudStrife 54]

two sets of fifteen lifts per day, one set, take a lil break, then go again, if its too easy use 17 or 18 lbs

really.. it depends, the motoion of your arms, what kind of workout your doin. how big you are.

I would go ahead and do three sets of fifteen, no longer then 15 seconds between each set. and try out different lifts.

well what i do is three sets of 10 on each arm so thirty on each arm and you could try that and if for like a couple of weeks or something you dont feel anything then move up to like 20 pound weights just increase your weight amount if you dont feel anything. ^_^

well there r different arm excercises. u should do the one thatll get the result for the part of the arm u want.

I do three sets of 15lbs. lifted 5 times on each arm, and also on the second, I will straiten out my leg to make it diagonal to the ground, and then lift it up to my shoulder slowly, then bring it down slowly. I do this about 5 times.

There are also two ways to lift. One is for use over look, that is the only one I know how to do. Then I have a friend who goes for size over performance. How? I don't know.

if u dont believe me

you my friend are not that smart. many people are gonna stalk you now

oh yeah one more thing, there are 2 types of muscle, first one is like a thick red cell, its much bigger but uses oxygen poorly, thats what body builders go for cause you look huge, the downside you have no endurance but can lift alot for only like 3-4 reps. the other is white muscle (chicken breast) endurance muscle its uses oxygen better but it lacks power but can contract alot more, so i recommend doing sets of 8 reps. (if you can do 8 add more weight) my motto. it makes sense less reps more power, more reps more endurance.

like petaphiles? lol

push ups are always effective, any resistance training, or training that you do using you're own bodyweight usually works wonders. 15lb barbells might not be enough, try upgrading to twenty, but it's more repitetition that will get muscle, and all around exercise.
If you want real results train everyday, at least 20 minutes doing the right exercise the right way.

I'm pretty sure a lot of you people know this, but basically the rule of thumb is to build muscle mass fast you lift lots of weight at a few reps. But, for endurance you lift lighter weight but many more reps. Either way gets you muscle but it depends. I'm assuming theHSkid is going for mass so you're going to want to do benchs (figure out what weight you have to push yourself to lift) like maybe 2 or 3 sets of 5. Then 3 sets of 5 for your max weight in curls and so on for whatever muscle group you want to tone. BTW, I'd suggest you change this around to whatever best suits you, seeing as I have limited weight lifting experience. It's just that I had to take a class about it at the beginning of the year.
