i do a combination of both powerlifting and bodybuilding and will be able to help. what is your workout routine for those 3 days?
I only go on the elliptical bike (3 times a week for an hour) and do 100 push ups against the wall every day.
I am not trying to lose weight (I’m at a good weight for my height, I just work out to stay healthy).
The problem I am having is that my arm muscles are starting to be visible and bigger but it doesn’t really look the way I want it to look and I’m not exactly sure why. Maybe I need some exercices targeting the opposite side of the biceps ?
so getting your cardio in is very important, but if you want to build muscle, you will have to lift weights. do you have access to a gym?
Not right now but I will in September.
so a very good program that i always recommend for beginners is megsquat's before the barbell program. it is a free program ran on instagram (@beforethebarbell) that's 3 days a week and uses basic equipment found at any gym. the whole program is on that account and she has video demos of each exercise per day. i would run her program for your 3 days instead of doing the elliptical for those 3 days and if you want, do the elliptical on an additional day instead. you really want to make sure you're working out BOTH your upper and lower body so you are not imbalanced as this will lead to a lot of injuries and problems down the road, and fortunately her program is very well-balanced.
That’s very helpful and exactly what I was looking for, thank you !
np! if you have any questions about the exercises/exercise alternatives or need help with anything, feel free to PM me!
i wanted to add that while you're waiting for the access to your gym, you can substitute a lot of her exercises with dumbbell or body weight versions. you can google the exercise name + dumbbell or bodyweight alternative.
