Light weights is pretty subjective a light weight for me for instance would be a very heavy one for a lot of women.
Basicly your looking at a weight you can get 15 to 20 reps out of once you past 15 reps your going into toning and cutting territory and to a point increasing cardio fitness rather than trying to add bulk.
I don't have much experience with Pyramid training I did it for a while a few years ago and all I can really remember about it is it was bloody hard lol, so I will let one of the other guys answer that as I don't want to mis advise a beginner.
BB is all about Symertry you don't want to over develop one body part and under train another as you will look lopsided its all about balance everything should stay in proportion and any weak body parts should be worked harder than the stronger ones to get them up to speed.
Arnold said it was like a sculptor looking at a statue he might say the shoulder needs to be bigger and he would add more clay where as a BB will work harder on the shoulders to get them up to speed. |
