Generally, whether lifting for bulk or tone, you should lift every other day. Your muscles need a day off. Try upper body free weights one day and lower body workouts (squats etc.) the next. If you keep doing repetitive free weights with the same muscle groups, you risk turning the twinge into a muscle tear or sprain.
no, not bench press lol. i have limited room in my truck. i got dumbell i bring with me. i am doing straight out to my side 20 times, straight forward 20 times, 50 curls, 50 behind my head, 20 more curls, then i bend over and lift straight up 50 times, then i use my limited space and do 30 push ups.
alrighty. i was just wondering. i been doing the same stuff over and over for a few months now. elbow is acting up since yesterday, i turned it weird while i was lowering my arm and i felt a weird feeling. not a lot for options in a truck for switching work outs every day, i just try to work with the space i have.
yeah that is what i got going on. usually i use my left to hold the steering wheel but even that was aggravating me today.
i am working with a very small area inside the truck. lots of room for the top half of me to move, not as much for the bottom half but i will look into it. thanks.
listen to your body. but you are lifting such light weights ull never overtrain.... unless you are a senior or a very small man.
30 pound dumbells are not light for side and front raises. If you can do 30lb front raises with perfect form you are in much better shape than most people. Lifting heavy weights doesn't mean a thing if yoiu don't do it correctly. The number of people who lift weights incorrectly and don't realize it amazes me. There is a lot of information on the internet, don't listen to the so-called experts on terb, most of who haven't lifted more than a big mac or can of coke in years.
