Oh definitely bro, I was just throwing running out there as my main source of aerobic exercise and it's a great body fat % shredder. I truely enjoy running, so that's what I do most. But if cycling is what you choose to do, surely it'll help. I would still, run/jog a few times a week. As it's different and the more you mix things up the less your body gets use to an activity and you plateau. They also have bikes at the gym that you can hit hard, your not moving but your legs sure do pump ( according to how hard you go at it of course.)
swimming
running/walking stairs ( real or simulated at the gym - stairmaster )
dancing
etc. etc. |

Elliptical machine would fall under the etc. etc. category....there are tons of machines at the gym that work your legs ( upper and lower )..but outside the gym: running, cycling, skating, swimming, the list goes on. When I say running, I don't mean straight up sprinting ( which usually discourages a lot of ppl thinking they could only do that for 2 minutes or 100 feet.) Pace yourself, whatever is comortable for the distance you are running, sooner or later you'll want to bump your time/speed up and you just go from there ( or if your in the need for quicker and more promising results PUSH yourself from the get go and like I said, switch up your speeds every couple of minutes )
I had a buddy of mine, who was once a pudgey mofo. He ran a couple miles everyday, watched what he ate and he shed around 40 pounds in a couple months...he just loved to run ( or he just wanted it that bad ), but either way he's now got skinnier legs than I and he weighs 30+ lbs more than I do. We also played ball almost everyday in the blistering sun, which im sure contributed to his weight/body fat loss. So even just staying active in sports or mixing in a sport throughout the week can truely help (if your not part of a gym or running is straight up boring to you.) |

Hey guys, I'm 15, 5'6, around 125 pounds. I'm kind of skinny and I'm looking to build more triceps and biceps and try to look my arms a little bit more bigger and wider. Also my shoulders. I can't wait for the results, but I don't know if I'm doing the plan as it should be. I've been doing a lot of 2 hand 30 pound curls (plenty of reps), etc. Anyone got tips or advice?

Are you doing 30 with 2 arms, as in a barbell...or are you doing 30 in each hand in dumbells? If your doing 30 in each hand, that's pretty good man. If your able to do a bunch of reps with such weight, step it up to something heavier..say 35, or 40 if you can manage and do less reps. Don't just do curls though, you need to hit the different parts of your biceps (yes theres more than one muscle.) Try preacher curls ( one arm, and 2 arms; on seperate days )...you've got concentration curls, wide grip curls (barbell of course) inclined dumbell curls ( incline the seat of your bench, lay back and curl the weight this way), hammer curls, cable curls ( via a machine - not free weights ), ez bar curls, 21s( 7 half way, 7 from half way to the top, and the final 7 full curls = 21). As far as triceps go, IMO you don't need to focus on the weight...but more so your form. Which goes for every bodypart, but I just feel that people tend to worry about weight when it comes to triceps and they lose focus on the form and it really negates things. Workouts for your triceps: tricep dips ( machine or 2 chairs = the homemade way ), overhead extension (machine or free weights), lying triceps extension, over rope extension, rope pressdown (one of my favorites, good burn and you'll probably be able to do a good amount of weight), then theres kickbacks, reverse grip bench press ( not what you benchpress, prob. 60-80 lbs if your curling 30 in each hand )
Naturally, those are quite a few workouts listed and I haven't touched upon how many there are out there, those are just some within my regiment...But you wouldn't do all of them per bodypart everyday, you'd split them up and do a couple on your 1st day of triceps/biceps and the other half on the 2nd day you do triceps/biceps. ( assuming you workout each bodypart twice a week, and tri's and bi's on different days? )
Shoulder exercises = pull ups, pushups, seated overhead dumbell press, dumbell lateral raises, front dumbell raise, reverse pec-deck flyes, rows, etc.
I would suggest doing triceps, shoulders, and chest day 1. Day 2 being back, legs, biceps. Rest day 3. Day 4 back to chest, shoulders, and tris..then day 5 legs, back, and biceps. 6-7 rest. More so keep those bodyparts together, but you can mix the order up and shake things around as you choose ( days of rest, etc. ) |

Aside from doing curls and and pushdowns, you need to do an all-around upper body workout. The first part in getting your arms bigger is rounding out your entire upper body. I don't focus on bicep and tricep workouts yet the few times I do curl or do pushdowns, I do weight that might seem like I work on arms a lot.
Make sure to add a lot of chest/should/back workouts and your arms will increase in proportion. Add that to a regular regimen of bicep and tricep workouts and you'll see increases/improvements. Also for biceps and triceps, do compound stuff. Like after a set of nosebreakers, bench the weight close grip. When you do dips, after you drop the weight, do ten more reps. Go to failure so your arms swell and you can't move them anymore. |

Ehh .. complicated .. can you s et up a 6 week workout plan for me. I don't have access to a gym so I don't have that many equipments. What I have is a:
30 Pound Dumbbell (I use it with both hands cuz one hand is too heavy for me, literally)
A Treadmill (for running)
pair of 10 pound barbells (but there's no point of using them, there's so light, even my 5 year old sis can hold it with one hand)
umm that's about it. the rest i guess is the pushups/sit ups/basic bodye xercises .. need more help

| What kind of protein shakes do you guys take? I just got a bottle of muscle milk last week and I like it a lot because I dont get too sore after workouts anymore. I drink it 1 hour before and 1 hour post workouts. It also taste great too. |

Statistik, I'll hit you up with a nice start up workout plan.
FAMOUS, what you can do is if your willing to blend it..Idk what flavor your supplement is available in/you have, but you can always throw some fruits/scoop of ice cream in a blender with it and make it more pleasant - and your double dipping, with some healthy fruits. |
