2x per day:

25 push-ups
20 dumbbell squats
10 tandem hammer-curls
1:00 plank
10 concentration curls, left
10 concentration curls, right
(rest, repeat everything, rest)
25 push-ups
10 tandem hammer curls

and then i feel pretty bushed for 30 minutes or so.

so, that's 150 push-ups per day, 100 curls per arm per day, plus the squats and planks. i'm 6'3" and 155# (BMI 19.4)

and now, the questions:

1. from years of labor, my left bicep is noticeably smaller than my right. what could i do to even it out?

2. i've moved from 20# to 25# after 4 days. how soon should i move up to 30#? i don't think i could do it within another week, so this question is kind of pointless. so instead: can i expect visible results with this routine? should i expect to ever do 40#? 50#? not interested in whey or supplements or such.

3. is this workout enough? should i be able to do more already / am i weak? advice, things to add, general encouragement. thanks :)

an addendum to question 1, due to character limits: i sometimes tend to fail after about 7 concentration curls on the left arm, and i'll kind of cheat with my right fingertips. is this ok? is there a better way? i'm really concerned about evening out this left arm.

one more addendum to question one: can i forego the concentration curls altogether in favor of more hammer curls? i have a much easier time with the hammers, but if the concentrations are hurting me, they must be doing some good - right?

to address pinkolive: very slender, but strong enough. i can surprise people at work sometimes, i'll put it that way.

i've never been large, maybe the tiniest bit of belly - nothing unsightly, just vanity - but i plan on adding bicycle crunches sometime soon. it's hard to work out whether i'm doing them right when all i have to go by is internet videos!

re: john, cardio: is 10 hours a day of work enough to replace ~ an hour of jogging? i feel safe that i already get enough of that - i'm not in bad shape or anything. i'm an electrician, which means plenty of walking, lifting, carrying, and pulling, between all the pipe i run and wire i pull through it.

give it time. your arm will "level" out Also moving up weights is a good idea, but not so fast. It shouldn't be easy, but you do not want to strain yourself either. Can i suggest one other thing, cardio. I think you should put in some cardio workout too. At least 30-45 minutes a day

What is your frame size? Are you slight/slim build, medium/athletic build, or were you large person at one time? It appears that if you are male, in my humble opinion, that you may be too slim for your height. I would suggest adding an additional 15 - 20 pounds of weight on your frame. As far as symmetry for your bicep/arm. My guess is that the arm with the smaller size is weaker, you may want to work with a heavier weight and lower repetitions to build size and strength

nicely the only time i'm getting to make certain any college video games is for the period of March insanity, so confusing to be knowledgeable on the college point. So devoid of understanding who a number of those gamers are as quickly as I see them play, i usually do not remark on it in any respect. As for the getting better ones interest, or what place would desire to they play, I even have giving useful solutions to getting better ones interest. the What place they play, it relies upon on what there team has, and devoid of certainly seeing them play, i won't tell them what they'd desire to play, reason i'd desire to wind up giving them a incorrect answer reason for it. and that i don't want to misinform everyone. i think of this is an thrilling question. i could want to make certain extra college video games if i'd desire to. yet i've got not got the alternative.
