I just cant waste my bi's

paulmmc · 23-05-2004, 03:32 PM

I find all the time when trying to really waste my arms i can't make them hurt, you know what i mean, like when the last couple of bench presses are really hard and painful. When doing curls or whatever i cant force the last reps, i simply can lift them until i cant anymore without an intermediate stage.
Any suggestions or good exercises?
The thing is i dont like to leave the gym feeling like i didnt push myself.
cheers guys

thats strange usually the people who have physical jobs struggle more,

have you tried doing 21,s and other harsh exercises.

how do you train slow negatives etc?

if you focus on the negative contraction then you'll really feel the burn

they are good,

can be hard to judge the right amount of weight when u first start doing them.

best to start with a weight that you can finish a set with good form

Next time you train arms try running the rack. Do standing dumbell curls and pick a weight you can do a strict 10-12 reps. Once you have done that without resting work your way down the dumbell rack doing a slightly lighter weight every time until you reach the lightest weight avaliable. Do each set to failure. See how your arms feel after that!
