those pictures were a bit disturbing.
im starting to do small weights for my biceps and i have an AbKingPro in my room that i use as well.. have been working out for around 30 mins a night for about 2 weeks
i eat fialry healthily with lots of fruits and i love pasta...
so how long shud it be before i start getting some noticeable biceps and or decent 6 pack?

lol dan, if you want big biceps and a six pack, you will probs just end up looking skinny. Here is my advice, I am sure others will agree with me.

Workout a body part a day: Arms, Chest, Back, Shoulders would be a good way to start. Your body will stay in proportion this way and you wont look like a twat.

Then work out your abs every 2 days, i have no idea what a ProAb King trainer thing is or whatever you call it but crunches and variations will do. Also for a six pack you have to do a lot of cardio, so keep freestyling lots and eat less.

As for Biceps you should work your Tricep too, its a larger muscle than the Bicep and you dont want your arm to look weird.

TW89: The reason why you cant do as many reps is probably one of these.

Not enough sleep/rest, make sure you have atleast 2/3 days between a workout. That way your muscles can recover and grow and you can lift more.

You aren't eating enough carbs and protein or enough food. Your body is an engine and if you want it to run smoothly you gotta give it lots of the right stuff. So get lots of protein and carbs, but i am sure you know this.

Or you are lifting too much, try using a lighter weight if you aren't consistent. It shouldnt matter too much aslong as you keep good form.

Hope this helped.

Good advice Mac but you must know that his biceps wont grow if he does cardio to burn fat to get more visible abs (muscle growth requires calori + fat burn requires calori -)

Dan it seems you have only the abkingpro and some dumbells in your room (if I'm not mistaken) and there isn't much to do with that really if the weight on the dumbells are low
Fx blesses himself before a patw combo, Tiernan blesses himself before a neck to sole transition.... but hey thats next generation :rolleyes:

Yeah man cheers. Probs a mix of all lol

And for Dan, I reckon you'd notice your abs earlier than you would your bi/triceps.
Like everyone once has a six pack, its jus makin it be seen/toned/defined. The key is to abs isto have little body fat on your stomach, then build your abs then you be able to see them.

90kg (200 pounds) bench press personal best today hehe it was kinda easy. I will most likely be able to do 100 kg before celebrating my 1 year 1 anniversary. After that I gotta catch up to my dad who did 120 and after that I don't know my next goal

wow thats actually very good, if im not wrong you said you did 70 kg like five months ago or sumthin like that. in my case its kinda weird, i always need someone to look up to, in my case it would be my brother, idk but its kinda weird cause my brother keeps getting better so i get that feeling i wont get to his level. :dontknow: its hard to explain. im 16 and my bench press record is 70kg. my brother does 110-120kg and hes 17 so i gotta work hard if i wanna get to that level when im 17...

For each time you post in this thread I start becoming more convinced you suffer a serious brain injury
