More Reps, Less weight ... or, less reps, more wei

---

weight*I don't want to become 'big'.I just want to be in good shape.

More reps, less weight.

agreed.2 much weight is bad. u dont wanna fuck up ur mussles

People can lift heavy weight without damaging their muscles, if muscle definition is their goal. What you need to do depends on what your objectives are.

You could maybe throw calisthentics in the loop and you'll have more defined muscles.

yea, but sum dumb shits start out lifting stuff thats far to heavey 4 them and can only do like, 2 reps...show offsworking out is over rated

working out is over ratedCompared to what? There's a lot of data that says that working out is good for you, even if you're old.

You telling us that is showing off. I am shocked Helms, shocked.

People who see your avatar certainly wonder.

And then there's my lovely skyline...

And my poorly scaled image of my awesome bike

hahaha, i knew saying that would piss sum one off....i find going to the gym the most boring experience of my life. it sucks i cant handle the bordom and it makes me go kinda crazy. i went to the gym for 6months when i was in my "food obsesssed borderline eating disorder" phase and yea, i was alot lighter then but id rather no work out and b about 5kgs heavery then i was then do all that work and not eating enough and being bord out of my mind.and comeon helms, im sure a tiny bit of the bodybuilding thing is about showing off...just a tichy bit?

lol.I know this is not good to say..but, i don't think helsman is all that legit.you look pretty young..and, to get that big, you must of been benching since you were like, in your mother's stomach.

helmz do u have any good tips because im working out at the gym as well(in fact i just finished drinking a protien shake). And is that less weight more reps thing true?

Hang around a little longer and read some of his stuff. You'll believe soon enough. He's our best expert on weightlifting and he has made many awesome posts on nutrition and training that are relevant to getting to be the way he is.

hehe, ok, i mostly belive u now...and when i 1st joined i didnt think that that pic in ur avata was actually you...it looks kinda...fake.but hey, go you! wish i had asmuch self disiplin and motivation

since I'm neww... why don't you teach me the ropes?kidding :P sorry. i had to do thatt.

hehe, its ok, i belive u :grin:

ill not b a perve and a hypocrite with this 1...im not willing to start handing out my pics so im not gonna ask 4 them off ppl...

i think it was cuz u look all shinny and plastic in that pic and sumthing bout ur abdomanal area just look way 2 freaky unnatural...in a good way ofcorse, im not harassing....any way, yet again, go u!

Actually, Helms, for how long were you that toned? That must have been after a cutting cycle right, because you're just as huge but not so defined in a lot of your other pics.

oh so he makes a point of showing pics round to members does he......and u say ur not showing off hehehe
