Guest guest Posted March 30, 2001 Report Share Posted March 30, 2001 Before I get started next week, I'd like to clarify the following exercises: * When doing the one arm dumbbell-rows (p. 147 in BFL book), does the initial 12 rep consist of 6 on each arm or 12? Then for the 10 rep, 5 on each arm or 10? etc. * Do you increase intensity of the Ab workouts (p. 170) by holding onto a weight, going slower, or both? Thanks, Marcus. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2001 Report Share Posted March 30, 2001 Yeah, what he said. For one-arm rows, 12 on each side. I count my minute of rest as starting as soon as I switch arms, so I don't do right, then left, then rest for one minute. I do right, start the minute-timer, do left, and as soon as the timer beeps, back to right again. If you are just doing floor crunches (not cable crunches) then form is more important than adding weights (well form is *always* important). Slow, controlled movement is what will give you the best contraction. Really *feel* those abs contracting thoughout the entire movement. I highly recommend checking out the Ab Boot Camp from the March Muscle Media. A real killer of an ab workout!! Good luck Marcus!

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2001 Report Share Posted March 30, 2001 Hey Marcus, Any movement that is done one arm at a time like rows, concentration curls, triceps extensions etc the reps are always listed per arm or side...so your first set of 12 will be 12 left followed by 12 right... Hope this helps --- marcus amann <marcus_amann@...> wrote: > Before I get started next week, I'd like to clarify > the following exercises: > > * When doing the one arm dumbbell-rows (p. 147 in > BFL book), does the > initial 12 rep consist of 6 on each arm or 12?
