Well I bought the argos tricep/bicep curl set a few days ago, I already had some weights in the garage. However I need more, along with a bench.
Should be getting that soon.
This is what I did:
Deadlifts: 3 Sets of 10. 21KG.
Bicep Curl: 4 sets of 10. 24KG.
Upright row: 3 sets of 10. 24KG.
Found the curl and row relatively easy, I only have a few more 1KG discs lieing around. I need more weights as neither my shoulders or my biceps ache.
Deadlifts were interesting, there wasn't much strain on my back however the back of my legs aren't the strongest and they are aching a little bit so that was good.
Now for the interesting part, half way through a m8 of my bro came down. He works at his uncle's gym.
He said do 21's, basically this is similar to bicep curls. Where you do 7 half curls, then 7 curls from the half way position to your chest, then 7 full curls.
So I tried it at first, he said you have the fat on your arms so you need to cut it and do more reps at lower weights.
He's wrong isnt he? Surely higher weights and short reps is better for increasing muscle mass?
Another thing my post workout shake consisted of : 2 large scoops whey, 1 large scoop oats and water.
Is this ok or should I take out the oats?
Was a interesting workout, the last time I used a barbell was in secondary school. The worst part was my MP shaker falling down and breaking and then the cat came in to the garage and took a dump.
