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.
