I was doing DB bicep curls at my gym today, got talking to a Personal Trainer who told me I should try lowering my reps to 6-10 per set instead of 18-20reps per set. Where do they find these idiots!!!!! >:(
-
well its pretty obvious that you are trying to be funny, but just in case you arent, i would shoot for 8-12 reps for bi's. I dont like going any lower than 8 though.

Well then you are the stupid one my friend. 18 to 20 reps is way too many reps for bi's, paticularly for a natty. Its ok though, we all make mistakes when we are beginners ;)

Maybe you should start going to curves.

I knew I was doing it right!!!!!

21's isnt the same as doing 21 full ROM reps per set. but anyway, it all depends on ur goals. i thik 18-20 is too high if u want consistant maximum growth.

Well im assuming that "gymdude" is natural, so what i said still stands as far as im concerned. A couple of sets of 21's are fine, but all sets at 18-20 reps is way too much.

nothing beats 21s for bis

If you want to be big you have to train with low reps, like DeBussey.

in the gym, the trainer is your father. you are their son. it wouldnt be hard for them to give you... the wrong advices.
just listen to ur body and check with other trainers, if in doubt

Um, I own 2 sets of pink dumbbells. AND I pump them 20+ reps per set ! ! ! What's wrong with either? LOL

Not true at all. It all depends on the guy's makeup. Whether he's fast or slow twitch dominant.

what did you say after you put down that pair of 15's?
-
Interesting...
-
lee preist likes low reps for arms. craig titus likes high reps for arms.
and before anybody says anything about lees arms being better than titus's, realize that lee is five foot nothing, and then go look at titus early in his career when his triceps looked like a herd of kittens went to town with their claws on his inner and outer heads.

hahahahaa, we 've got a 65 year old "trainer" at my gym who can't lift a 130 pound dumbbell off the rack to wipe the chalk off of it, the "managers" told him to do it and he was complaining that he couldn't lift it. ;D

he said you could use them for your lunges.
