He said that to add size to muscles you don't need to be pushing really big weights. His training regime focuses on using medium weights and proper form during the lift. He also recommended that the lift motion should be very slow. I have a pair of 10 pound dumbbells that I work out with sometimes. I tried his suggestion to really slow down the motion. I think he is right. I did the same number of reps very slowly and I really felt the burn. I have been doing that for a while now, and I think I have noticed some size increase in my arms.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01494609521203854111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16499581.post-6099659400826918212008-08-06T14:39:00.000-07:002008-08-06T14:39:00.000-07:00Anarki,Thanks for the push-up link.

Although I have done the good form posture without the push-ups for a certain count. It gets easier. I will have to go back and try the good form push-ups again. :) <BR/><BR/>My goal has been to stay in shape and give me more energy to do things like yard work. It has helped. And of course mowing the grass is a good cardio workout in itself. Working in an office it's amazing how out of shape you can get. lol!<BR/><BR/>Caesar,<BR/><BR/>Sounds like you're doing good. There are a lot of places here where one can work out on the machines. I just haven't wanted to commit to the time to go there. :) So I do what I can at home. But I don't really want to bulk up anyway, just stay in shape. <BR/><BR/>Anarki is right about the supplements. Vitamins are good, but be careful of anything that claims it will improve performance. You just never really know what you're getting.Lynnette In Minnesotahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04504253680601566235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16499581.post-79154021885776343792008-08-05T05:52:00.000-07:002008-08-05T05:52:00.000-07:00:D HURHURHURoh and Testosterone IS a steroid, actu...:D <A HREF="http://munfitnessblog.com/steroid-and-testicles-shrinkage/" REL="nofollow">HURHURHUR</A><BR/><BR/>oh and Testosterone IS a steroid, actually its the other way around, but anyway.. meh.A.

I wish you good luck in your senior year.<BR/><BR/>I wish I could send you some of my weight. I need to loose 20 pounds. ;) For exercise, I mostly just walk 30 to 40 minutes every day. Its been so hot here that I have to drive to a mall with air conditioning to do my walking. Well, I am sure that Baghdad is much hotter, so I won't complain.<BR/><BR/>I was sorry to hear about the Iraqi Olympic committee mess. We saw a few of the Iraqi athletes interviewed on TV here. I know they must be really disappointed.<BR/><BR/>I have been thinking about the Iraqi soccer team. I know that all Iraqis love soccer. I think that it might help if Iraq established a professional soccer league. Every large town or city in Iraq could have a team (like America does with its style of football). The teams could travel about the country playing each other. Of course, people would have to buy tickets to see the matches. Then for international competition, or the Olympics, each team could sponsor one or two of its best players to compete with an Iraqi national team. Wouldn't it be better for Iraqi communities to battle each other in soccer instead of real fighting?Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01494609521203854111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16499581.post-110791141529723812008-07-31T23:19:00.000-07:002008-07-31T23:19:00.000-07:00Caesar,Great to see you back blogging.
