1. I'm not the next Ronnie Coleman - firstly I'm not black & secondly I don't set him as my role model because some of his form is pretty poor.
2. I'm not saying there's no calories in there, but when I can get a protein shake containing between 43.7g and 60g of protein then I can't complain. I'm already on 2 tins (sometimes 4 tins) of tuna a day which is 50g per 2 tins. Meat is extremely good but the good meat is probably more expensive than protein shake. After having say 4 tins of tuna I've already taken in 100g of protein so a protein shake aswell raises this to 143.7g (using my current Protein Shake) and then plus any other high protein sources I have during the day (i.e Peanut Butter, Chicken. Milk etc) aswell as taking in enough Carbs.
3. If you do a heavy weight but do less reps then you are going to get large biceps yes, and 10-12 reps can be for purely muscle definition (if using a low weight) but I'm doing 10-12 reps with a higher weight as to get "the best of both worlds" as such. I'm getting a good muscle definition in general as well as larger biceps, much larger biceps than I had before.
On a note away from this - when aiming for large biceps I have been using a method better than the standard Bicep Curl - I shall try & draw up a diagram of what needs to be done.
On the abs thing, what if you can't keep balance? O_O
Then put your arms gently lent on a bed for balance :)
I'll post a link soon, need to get the picture from my myspace :)
1. His form is only poor because he is around 44-46 now, you can't expect him to keep going forever with the use of steroids - he will kill himself.
2. There really is no need for protein shakes, just pure calories. If you're eating 2-4 tins of tuna that is enough (presuming you're an teenager??) The way it works is 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight.
3. All I'm saying is if these people want to overload their muscles to the point of not being able to put a shirt on the next day - this is the way to do it. It has been proved that pain is good. It rips your muscle fibers to pieces - So when you're resting they build back bigger and stronger. Doing 10-12 reps won't achieve this as effective as doing 4-6 reps.
Is this the lift and hold for 60 seconds?
4-6 of them reps is one set :) Make sure you have a rest for 3 minutes to get rid of the lactic acid in your arms though! The weight should be heavy enough so you can only lift it 6 times and no more, then after the 3 minutes another 6.. so on so fourth. :)
