So if arm size is your goal..hit them tri's.
Muscles that are well balanced should be in this strength order(major muscle groups)
1. Legs strongest
2. Then your back
3. Then chest
4. Shoulders
More wives tales:
1. A belt will protect my back(If you think so...think again)
2. If countinue to do countless hours of cardio i will look fit(Not without weight training you won't, You will now be a skinny soft person, with no muscle tone)
3. More is better! (" I spent like 3 hours in the gym today" Joe is waisting his time. 1 TO 1.5 HOURS tops no more!)
4. More sets more growth (Excellent formula for overtraining...) I personally don't count sets, i know when my muscles are smoked, but i do know i've never made it past 12 for any muscles(not counting warmup)If you start to lose your pump during a workout(reverse pump) thats your cue to put down the weight, you've overtraining your muscle. Mike Metzer believed in doing one set for some muscle groups, and if you read his book "Heavy duty training" you'll see why. (Do not recomend for the begginer or novice weight trainer).
5.Spot reduction "I want to lose fat from here and here (pointing to abdomen and glutes) ladies there is no such thing as pinpointing your fat loss.

1. [Woman] If I lift weights I'll get too many muscles and look like a guy.
2. Bodybuilders are "muscle bound" and can't even comb their hair. They are not flexible at all.
3. She/He only looks that way because they use AS.
4. A high protein diet causes kidney damage.
5. They spend hours and hours at the gym--they have no life.
6. All BB's are so stuck on themselves they can't even pass a mirror without looking in it.
I know there is more.....

sure bodybuilders look like that now but wait til they stop lifting and all that muscle turns into fat that's why you shouldn't have that much muscle...
