The only way to ever see your arm muscles doing that is to lose almost all your body fat. So make sure the weights are heavy enough to actually force your muscles to rebuild. |
I try to challenge myself all of the time. By the end of my rep, my muscles are fatigued and cannot lift one more without rest. I guess I could try to up the weight, and do less reps. Having said that, I can do a lot more with my legs than upper body, so I do have some catching up to do, though I have no idea how I can make up 20+ of soccer and tennis.
And thanks Crip... that's some good advice. I'll mix it up and see what happens.
