Free Weights help..

[wilheim]

I have recently added a free weight workout at the end of a exercise bycycle workout. My question is what are some of the better upper body lifts that will help me firm up muscletone.



Thanks, wil..

well to firm up you can have a good diet.. but free weight..

flat bench dumbell raises.

Incline dumbell raises

incline flys

are good basic three. Also dips and push ups

hey bro you been doing those forearm exercise I told you about a while ago??


anyway yeah that sucks you can get wrist wraps to keep your wrist in place and that helps. I used to use them when I did some heavy power lifting

like those.

actually i have been...ive also threw in a neck workout...

my forearms have grew half an inch...starting today im switching my diet and gonna start bulking up...so they will grow a bit more before i go back to cutting

dumbell rows have gotten alot easier for me...i can 105s with no loss of grip...

thanks for the advice

the bench press will always be the grand daddy of all exercises...

GOD I hate that exercise.. use dumbells and and not too much barbell.

Flyes kick ass. Go for a lighter weight, and pretend your reaching around a tree on your way up. Go very slow on the way down. If ur trying to bulk up, doing flyes with a bunch of weight is a poor idea though.

10 sets of 10.
About 15 seconds between sets.
