What tricep workout has worked best for you?
My triceps grew the most when following a heavy bench routine (the "add 50 lbs to your bench in 30 days" routine that was once published in Muscle Media magazine some years ago).
- Updated Dec 14, 2007 9:46pm

What bicep workout has worked best for you?
Biceps seem slow to grow for me - but the plain old-fashioned curls relatively low reps (6-8) and heavy weight seems to work the best for me.
- Updated Dec 14, 2007 9:45pm

Do you currently have a workout partner?
No

Virtually no change from the early weigh in on Thanksgiving day (2/10 of a pound) but I recorded it anyway to stay consistent with the weekly weigh in. I've not been eating well this week because it seems whenever I eat my stomach starts to hurt, had an especially bad attack last night after...

I stopped by to say way to go and to wish you nothing but success as you continue to work towards your fitness goal. Too many people think it can’t be done and so they don't even try but you have proven & are continuing to prove that with hard work and dedication it can be. I look forward to watching your progress. You are a great inspiration to so many others. Stay strong, focused and determined.

hey dave, I dunno how the bench goal is going. I meant to do more benchpress, but the gym is always crowded. I've been doing other press and fly exercises along with the usual dips though. We'll see how it goes. 250 isn't much weight, but we'll see. How are your goals coming along?

Thanks! Yeah, things are moving slowly but surely. Cool to hear you got to go on some coasters and such. Went to Busch this past Sunday. Beautiful weather and some great time there.

Oh wow. I forgot about the time change thing. Yeah, getting back on track with the time you are used to is a b!tch, I am sure. Rest up, work what you can, 'cause I saw where you were still active while away. Got plenty of time before Monday comes. Glad you had some fun.

i actually did gain quite a bit of strength, after i had finished the program i got really sick and out of good shape and lost alot of it but i'm actually doing some powerlifting type protocall for certan exercises, and it was alot like the program you had given to me, 10 sets of 5 as heavy as you can handle, 3 mins between sets. it killed my tri's that's for sure. i'm healing also from a groin injury so wish me luck!

Wow Paul, that's awesome! So funny we both did a heli tour within a week of each other. It was a blast, but I'm jealous you got a front seat spot! Glad to hear you enjoyed your time on the islands, it really is a beautiful place. Take care!
