Depends, not always. If you're building strength and bulk then yes 8-10 would be sound. I'm shaping so I'm up to 12 reps on my main exercises. I supplement it with some lower weight and more rep exercises but meant as a general rule.

I could have a spotter and bench silly weights but I'm not controlling the exercise naturally and putting strain on other supporting muscles unnessarily. If you can do exercises where you isolate the muscle then its obviously better.

Sound. I think for now I'll just keep as I am and then I'll up the reps if/when I get to that stage.

Yeah ideally I'd like to get using a bar instead of dumbells, it's just the gym I go to costs £7 a month to use to I'm pretty much bound to it. I'd consider using another gym once a week to do heavier lifting though, there's one right by the Wallasey tunnel (Liverpool side) which is good for that.

Barbell or Anderson machine is sound but dumbbells are better for general use, you need more control and its in effect two separate movements mirrored for both sides so a stronger side of your anatomy can't carry a weaker one. Obviously you should mix it up every three months with a different work out for best results. But y'all knew this.

Its why I don't go too in depth in this thread, I never want to be a bad gym bore. At least the madd is pure scientific when it comes to training like. Apart from his ignorance of the aceness of protein.

Roid heads are out in force tonight, there'll be an angry arse raping dished out by one of you by the end of the night, eyes bulging and veins popping.

All this hostility just sounds like you want to be arse raped.

As the bad Ince hating wool above said you can also introduce drop sets and supersets etc as and when you need to test your muscle more. Up to you lid.

Where is that exactly? I'd happily pop over to do that with you Monday if you fancy?

Just by Atlantic Point and The Reach, if you know where they are? I used to live at Atlantic point but I'm not sure if you ever saw it. Monday would be sound, yeah, I'm off all day.

I know the reach. I don't know where the gym is round there though. What shall we do?

Madds is a genius on this sort of thing. I know you can get everything you need from just good food but protein shakes are just easier and quicker. You can get bog standard stuff quite cheap too.

Someone be jeeellllyyyyy.

I quite like doing supersets, like doing opposite muscle groups back to back, it's quite intense and saves time too.

Woolwang.

Is that an anabolic?

I'm swerving the protein shakes for two reason, one because I'm looking to lose some weight and secondly because he's made me paranoid about them and I'm testing his theory that I don't need them. Results are inconclusive so far.

It's dead easy to find, it just might be best going in the evening or you may have to pay to park, parking spaces are scarce around there

No joke I actually saw an empty sachet for some sort of wipe used to cleanse skin before using needles etc.. at this gym. Proper roid head central.
