Any biceps movement because I hate working them. Really? Why is that? Not sure really. I've just never enjoyed working biceps much. That's not to say I don't work them. I keep everything balanced. I just don't enjoy doing those movements as much as I enjoy others. Triceps...now THAT'S a different s...

Be patient and give it time. It'll come. Stay positive. Worse thing you can do is get down on yourself because it usually leads to quitting.

diet can cardio can burn fat off quickly but you cant burn fat in a specific area. - "spot reduction" is NOT possible. Spot reduction by traditional means (ie. crunches for abdominal fat) is not possible...however, there may be methods of hormonal manipulations through specific diet/exerc...

Those things can vary. I've used them to within 1% of skinfold measurements and I've also seen them be way off. The one thing I did notice about the one I used is if it was off, it was off consistently. It didn't give me any wild readings from measurement to measurement.

Hi Milly, fat loss is the best method for muscle definition. Without that, it doesn't matter how many sets/reps you do. As far as a resistance training program geared towards fat loss, I've used multiple sets (3-4) of compound movements (squats, presses, pulls) supersetting lower body movements with...

Might want to pick up a pair of PlateMates. They have them on Amazon, but I'm sure you can find them other places as well.

Also, reducing your tempo (ie. lifting speed), especially the eccentric movement, will make any given weight more difficult.

Weight training helps strengthen bones because it provides external forces on the bones (compression, bending, torsion, shear). These forces provide the stimulus for bone mineralization to take place, which builds the bone back stronger/thicker than it was previously. Weight bearing exercises are mo...

Those 6 minutes could be better spent doing pistols, push-ups and burpees.

I think one of the easiest ways to get a feel for using the lats during rows/pull-ups etc. is to get in position to do the exercise (without any resistance) and have someone apply manual resistance at the elbow while you go through the movement. For instance, put your arms up like you're going to do...

I personally like this exercise for the shoulders:

You really have to keep the elbows flared out and elevated though. Don't let them drop to your sides.

I agree with swanso in that the type of cardio you're doing has pretty much reached its limit. Along with the weight training, whether it be body weight or free weights, I recommend using interval training in place of the long duration cardio. However, only use intervals 2-3 times per week as they'r...
