Hey, instead of giving yourself a number of pushups or burpees to do, just time yourself and see how many you can do in a minute, then try to beat that record. That way you'll always be motivated and pushed to your limit.Comment

I think im improving a little. I can do the 15 pushups more comfortably now
I have another question. How many weeks do you think it would take me to build up a good and muscular arm? cause ive been doing this for a while now but the physical appearance of my arm doesnt change and its still soft. but its strength definitely improvedComment

Good, good. Keep on improving the number of pushups you're doing. You'll get your biggest gains initially as well.Originally posted by andalusian81 View Post
Everyone gains weight differently so its a hard question to answer. If you aim is to get big arms, you'll need to start eating a lot to ensure your body is in a calorific surplus. Also, you'll probably find it hard to build big, muscular arms just by doing pushups. Maybe think of going to the gym if your ultimate aim is to get big arms.Comment

If your arms are still looking a bit soft its likely because of bodyfat. Keep going with the pushups and burpees, throw in some pullups too. You'll build up your arms that way and if you keep up with it all youll drop some fat and the hard work you put in should show eventually. It doesn't happen overnight.Comment

Thanks guys but im confused.
If I eat alot that means im gonna get fat and will not get good arms.
But if I dont eat alot I will not have any nutrients to build up good arms!

I also have another follow up question, right now im doing a little Ab exercises like crunches and leg raises, but I feel that it only works my upper abs cause i dont feel my lower abs getting better, its like my upper abs got tighter but the fat went to my lower abs! is that possble?!Comment

Its what you eat. Eating healthy natural foods is the way to go. Cooking everything yourself (not in the microwave :P) would help you see exactly what your eating and give you time to think about it. Also the foods you have to cook yourself are usually the healthiest (so long as its not a complicated recipe with a pound of butter in it). If it has nutritional info on it I check if it has at least twice as much protein as fat or I dont eat it. Thats just some real basic advice, you should maybe check out some nutritional forums and sites to get yourself better aquanted with it.Originally posted by andalusian81 View Post
You can gain size while losing fat but it requires very good nutritional knowledge and knowledge of your body. If your not in the know (it seems like you might not have a DEEP understanding) then I suggest working on leaning out. A well toned 13" arm looks bigger than a flabby 15" arm. Do things like the burpees I suggested (check out rosstraining.com for some great workouts and a friendly message board, good bunch of people), eat right and vary your workouts to keep from getting bored. Multiple (2-3) short workouts (like 15 minutes) throughout the day will keep your metabolism flying and help you in the weight loss department. After your down to a point where you can see abs then come back and ask about bulking up and I can help you out with that. In the meantime get to know your body and get lean n mean.Comment
