Exercise bicep every day? Isn't that a bit too extreme? They always say to worry about overtraining certain muscle groups... Biceps do repair fairly quickly for me though.....

I'm thinking about building chest up, but as we all know that usually comes later in the early 20s much easier than in the teens because of hormonal changes.
I CAN TELL ITS WORKING FOR YA BUDDY! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! MAYBE SOMEDAY U WILL BE AS BIG AS ME WHEN I WAS IN 6TH RGADE...

yes..you don't really need to "isolate" the traps. Just let compound pulling movements isolate it. you when you do deadlifts you can shru at the top of each rep

I agree with you on that. I know a bunch of guys that wear tightass shirts to show off their muscles when they look like chicken shit. The only reason i go to the gym is to get stronger. i couldnt give a fuck about being the HUGE guy. I just like the feeling of sticking to something and making good results. Like for instance, this week im taking off of training and I don't feel the same, kinda feel useless sometimes like im not living up to my potential. Bottom line, listen to these people, they know their shit and they are just trying to help you.

Lexus knows the deal. He's a man who has opened his eyes in this world. The rest of you who can't admit to what I said are still sleeping in your wave of insecurities. Maybe someday you'll wake up and see things as they are. Thats not the point in this post however, so lets move right ahead.

Lexus: I am trying to take the advice, but Im getting a lot of rambling on diet which I said I'll improve, and besides Prince and DoubleBase who provided some interestin feedback, the rest have just argued with me.

ALSO I do know what you mean about sitting at home and skipping a week of workouts. You feel like you're not improving yourself anymore. you're on a trip of self improvement. We all are. Thats why we're building our bodies, but theres a lot more to self improvement than your bodies. It's 95% mental. Fix those insecurities inside your mind and you wont have the need to be 250lbs steroid jacked muscle-machine with no nuts because the steroids shrinked them and walking like a clown because your hands are too big and you can't keep them in the sides of your body.

There's this guy in my gym who has to walk almost like a gorilla beacause of his 20 inch arms. It's fucking ridiculous, he's not even competing, I asked him.

Can't you just sit back and try to insult me like the rest of the other guys here? It would release some of that stress you keep built up.

don't your parents cook any type of fish or any types of meat??? can't you afford to get a couple of eggs/egg whites , and some milk , yogurt , cottage cheese .......can't you eat your veggies?? eat raw veggies and fruits??? can't you get peanuts , olive oil , fish oil ..??

you could take some raw fruits and eat them between classes,get your self a roast beef sandwich or a tuna salad instead of just pizza .... you could tell your parents to cook you one type of lean protein every day .....you could eat some cottage cheese and peanut butter or some nuts and peanuts before you sleep , and have your breakfast from boiled eggs and skimmed milk......and buy some whey protein and drink one shake after your workout immediatly...try to explain to them then if your parents refuses to buy you 2lbs of whey monthly save some money and buy it .....

even if you can't make yor diet perfect but whenever you'll improve your diet you'll improve your progress in parallel...

Jodi, I remmember you from over 2.5 yrs ago. From what I remmember is that you're a semi pro or a pro. I respect that. That's admirable, you're pimping this shit. You're making money out of something you enjoy doing.

Many guys do it for their own insecurities, if you can't understand that, then that number '34' in your age has been going up while you haven't lived enough. Maybe you should take a breather from the gym once in a while and let some oxyen get to your brain, maybe you'll be able to think clearer and see my point after that?

Kid, you have the wrong Jodi. I'm not a pro and I don't make money here helping people. I'm a Project Manager and Engineer.

I saw pics of yourself competing aggeess ago. Maybe it wasn't pro, I must've just assumed so because of your level of fitness. You should consider making money off this career with the work and effort you've been putting into it.
