Question
Im getting VERY frustrated because i have been working out at the gym since
march 08 for at least 3-5 times a week an hour a day weightlifting i do
different workouts like one day i do legs and the other i do my chest but now
i just realized i haven't gained any strength in my biceps at all and i have no
idea what to do so i can gain strength because one day i would work on them
till they hurt and rest for a few days and work on them again and i dont feel
any stronger and its not only my biceps its my upper body so please tell me
what i should do because the only option for me left is something i dont want
to do.
Answer
Hi Deacon...
This is a common and frustrating problem. I need to know more information to help. What exercises are you doing? How many sets? reps? How much rest? What kind of progression are you using (when do you increase the weight)?
In order to get somewhere, we need a map and an idea of how we are going to use the map.
It sounds a bit like you are using more of a body building format (I'm guessing here). That won't get you anywhere.
Let me know what you are doing so we can go from there.
Also, how old are you and have you worked out with weights in the past?
