Necksta Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 I'm a bit confused, I've been doing some cardio for like a month and half to get my upper body into shape, but instead I've gained muscle on my legs and my weight has remained the same?What exercises should I do to help me with pecs/abs?

A Bit Better Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Someone explain to me why I should do chest and triceps on the same day please! Everyone says doing chest works tris and tris work chest. Fine, I agree. So surely getting in a tricep workout on monday and then getting in another (sort of) tricep workout as part of my chest workout on wednesday is even better than doing more loads of triceps on monday and not being able to do as much on my chest exercises coz my triceps are knackered?

kurious Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 yh i may start a blog, i would invite my girls in my front room for a work out session, but all my friends go to the gym because they are big ballers, i am too of course, however, i would rather spend my money on cadbury's hot chocolate pudding cups, they are a pound, every week that a mounts to 5 pounds, i estimate that to be round about membership costs therefore i figured i would use my right and left brain and have the best of both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
