I started working out since I have about 6
months before I head out to college and I
want to have bigger arms, nice chest and
some abs. I'm 6 foot, 170 lbs. and 18
years old. I have a gymin my apartment
building and for the last 2 weeks have
gone everyday. I go for 2 hours each day
and do the same exercises everyday. I
simply go to the gym after school, do curl
ups, lifting the weights over my head
which believe is for the shoulders, curl
ups, and three machines which are at the
gym, one does chest, the other upper back,
and the other triceps. I do this exact
cycle a minimum of 3 times per day and
usually do the curl ups and chest machine
about 5 times. In the past 2 weeks I have
noticed that the amount of weight I am
able to lift has increased substantially,
for example, the first day I did curl ups
with 15 lbs. and today I did them with 25
lbs., is this normal? I also bought Muscle
Milk at GNC since I was getting very soar
and it seems to heal everything over
night, enabling me to go back to the gym
the next day. I do the same exercises over
and over again since they are the only
ones I know. Could someone please help me
out?

Are you doing any cardio also? Like
swimming would be good for your
arms/chest/upper back. Push ups as well.
You should give your muscles 48 hours rest
between workouts of the same muscle group.
The library would be an excellent resource
for looking up weight lifting
information!
