Weight Lifting?


Is it possible to gain larger muscles or get stronger by lifting like mad of weight a moment ago a few times? Example instead of doing 8-10 reps of 25 pounds dumbell curls can you do just 2 and win the same results? Just looking to win bigger arms.


Answers:    larger muscles come as the results of lifting progressively higher loads AND have a caloric excess in the diet. the loads that you raise do not determine the size of the muscles but the diet that you follow. resistance training only provides the neccessary stimulus to stimulate hypertrophy contained by the muscle cell

to stimulate hypertrophy you need to use a nouns that is close to 80% of the one repetition maximum surrounded by that exercise and use a time under rigidity (TUT) of 45-60 seconds. so if your maximum one arm dumbell curl is 35 lbs you would own to use close to 28 lbs and each set should lift 45-60 seconds to complete which typically equates to 8-10 reps per set.

also you enjoy to remember that a properly developed arm is 2/3 triceps. so if you want big arms you need to focus on the triceps not the biceps.
Yes. I would look for 3-5 reps or 6-8 to build mass. This is close to powertlifting, but does build a ample frame. Make sure you eat right to restore your health from hard counterbalance work, also.
