dumbbells - do you you them?

Thats nice, whats that got to do with how much muscle you have?

well im just saying!

Try increasing the weight? Thats whatll increase muscle size..

Like i didnt know that! every couple of weeks i increase it by 5kg

"Do you you them?"

If you do, what weight for each do you tend to use? I use 5kg per dumbbell and do about 100 - 200 lifts a day. Hope to get stronger.

Please reply.

A lot of repetitions will make the greatest impact on your physical appearance. That's the technique used by most bodybuilders: not very heavy weights but tons and tons of repetitions. By doing so, you make your muscles look bigger but the drawback is that you're making all the fibres shorter which isn't very useful for doing sports afterwards.

But I assume you weren't talking about bench presses, you were talking about tractions with small dumbbells, right?

Three sets of 20 in each arm, with 11Kg, this is just warming up.

This thread contains some of the most ridiculous posts I have ever read...

Yeah this is really good stuff man, 5kg dumbells 200 reps!!! classic...

Bodybuilders do really, really high reps cos thats how u get muscle... but it makes them shorter so you can't do sport... OMG are you serious!!!


Don't even get me started I'll be here all day... Jesus

Hey come on guys. we all made plenty of mistakes when we started! I did anyway; didnt read about it, and trained just my arms and chest every day. And I didnt have any kind of diet plan. Someone could have ripped me to pieces about that if they wanted to, but instead they helped me out. And bearing in mind this is mainly an academic site, I doubt many people come waltzing in here knowing a lot about bodybuilding beforehand.

Yeah the odd few( very few ) seem set in their ways, and wont take any advice, but still...lets not have any digs.
