My second bicep and tricep workout in my new gym was also my last workout of my current training period. I’ve split my training up into eight week periods, during which I supplement withcreatine monohydrate, followed by one week where I don’t do any weight training and I come “off” creatine. So next week will be a week off from weights, though I will continue to do some CV work, no doubt mainly interval training.
Biceps
Did a quick warmup set ofbarbell curlsusing the 25kg barbell, then went into my working sets, my aim was to do three sets of 9 reps, thus increasing slightly on last week’s working sets.

You see, I’ve been doing weights fairly hard for the last few months and have no doubt increased my muscle mass, though not so noticeably that someone in the street would think “Wow, he’s huge!”, but enough that anyone who knows me would think, “Hmm, you been working out?”.
But in adding muscle mass, I’ve also in the process lost some fat at first, then gained it all again over the last few months by getting my carbohydrate (or more accurately overall c
Weight Loss Surgery noreply@blogger.com (Weight Master) says: I am normally not a big fan of surgery for weight loss purposes, but there are instances (the morbidly obese for example) when the health benefits of surgery can outweigh the risks. One of these types of surgery is calledlapbandor Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding. Basically, during the procedure a band is laparoscpically placed around the upper stomach creating a new smaller stomach pouch. The new smaller pouch can hold less food; therefore, one feels full and satisfied faster while actually eating less and losing weight. So if you are considering surgery in order to lose weight, do not forget to research extensively the benefits and risks ofweight loss surgery.
