drgs is a butterface. it's kind of unfortunate that a great body like that has to be ruined by a not so pretty face. however i dont entirely disagree with his views.

How many hours do you spend in the gym a week?
- drgss0
Free weights are better because they involve many of those small stabilizing muscles, but I use both, mainly for variation. Muscles have a tendency to get used to a specific movement path, and one should vary exercises to attack muscles from different angles
- epill0
doesnt working with free weights always give the variation if the weight itself is changed from higher to lower or vice versa?
does a nautical machine add more tone over bulk?
- epill0
in using the free weights, doing curls, do the biceps grow equaly or is one working harder than the other in asking if a person is right handed then their right side muslces are more defined because of life usage pref? [does that make sense?]

I don't think it has anything to do with what type of exercise you use. If you want more tone, you eat less calories, and likewise to gain muscle you need to have a calorie surplus, because you are actually gaining weight
In general, volume training means 8-10 repetitions per set. I use about 4-8 sets per exercise, with 2 mins rest between them.
When I say 8 repetitions per set, it means the load must so heavy that you can only do a series of 8 repetitions, ie if you feel you can do a ninth repetition, youre not working out heavy enough.
My biceps' are different as well. Left one is actually bigger, but the right one is more defined. If you train them equally with dumbbell curls it should even out with time. Biceps curls with bar on the other hand can worsen the difference (if one arm is stronger than the other)
- the last paragraph explains best the answer i think i was looking for. so dumbbells are best..epill
- i think in all my exercises i have done curls with a bar free weighted and nautical...epill
- but one side always grew more rapidly than the other. ill start with dumbbells now and see.epill
- thanks for the rest of that. helps a lot to define a routine.epill

what kind of stretching do you do and how long do you do it for?
also is it prior to your main routine? or do you stretch during your reps?

I feel that this has gone a bit overboard... I do not condone some of the choosen words that drgss has used in the other thread, but by ganging up on him and isolating him does solve anything, please don't be bullies, we can all get along here!

I don't stretch at all. You become more flexible from the training anyway.
Some do it to avoid muscle aches (like when you haven't exercised for a while, and then went back to training, the next day you can barely move), but it doesn't help against it at al

in times where you can't get use of a gym do you do anaerobic exercise? or is that used in your routine?
or do you do push ups and sit ups and dips on top of aerobic exercise per haps in a home environment?
- drgss0
No, I don't train outside the gym, Im not that much into it anymore...
I used to run before, not like jogging , but to run with all your might as fast as you can for short distances at a time... exercise for all muscles in fact
