Trainers....
« on: April 10, 2008, 12:55:55 AM »
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.
No doubt about it...

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 ;)

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.
No doubt about it...

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

And lots of swiss ball to get the core stronger.

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
