12.5kg for dumbell and 20kg for barbell.

I was curling 20kg after 2 months of gym. ==

If you wan big 16 inch arms, you gotta be curling 50~60kg on barbell.
Triceps make up 2/3 of your arm, so the key to big arms is triceps.

Big arms = 50~60kg curls + Close Grip Bench Press 100kg for 5+ reps = 2.5~3 years of perfect training with perfect diet.

Keeping it real.

Hi there, I did a lot of different curls in my exercise. one of them is the 2nd video, but I did it on an incline bench. Can't really get too many reps, maybe like 4-5 max. With a 10kg dumbbell. I was wondering, should I start with a weight that I can perform for like 10-12 reps then only start the progression overloading stuffs? I can't really curl for too many reps when I am with 12.5 or 15. I will get fatique. sad.gif

Mkyterryteh, I do you a big favour and make things easy and clear for you lar. Assuming you can't bench press 1.5x Bodyweight or 100KG.

1. Run a proper workout program like this: http://outalpha.com/the-out-alpha-novice-program/

2. Count calories and maintain perfect nutrition. Study IIFYM, lean bulking, cutting, recomping.

3. Do 1 and 2 for 1 year.

4. Get your Presses, Weighted Chins, Rows, Curls to really high numbers with 1,2,3. Forget about your "bicep peak".

You'll have a real real real nice body and some arm size. Else just hire a very knowledgeable person.

Hi there, don't mind if I ask a stupid question. According to the link that you've given me, what does for example, box squat 3/5 x 4-6 means? 4-6 is sets? and what about 3/5?

It's always sets x reps. Box Squat 3/5×4-6 means do 3 sets of 4-6 reps OR 5 sets of 4-6 reps.
