> [@Darkstar](#): > > done and done. You know anything about Fish Oil Caps? its contain your EFAs or essential fatty acids. its the “good” fats that your body needs and isnt counted as “fat” in a diet.the reason they are important is because your bosy doesnt produce any naturally so you have to consume them. the 3 major EFAs are omega 3, omega 6 and omega 9. you can get EFAs from flaxseed oil, fish oil caps or whole food sources but its usually easier to take a EFA capsule. the best whole food source of EFAs is salmon. if you decide to take fish oil caps, i have some advice. freeze the bottle of pills before you begin to take them on a daily basis. if you dont most people end up with fishy smelling breath. if i can reccomend a type of product though, i would say to take a complete EFA capsule derived from flax and fish.

Curling 190…I would love to see with your back up against a wall…that is serious weight to curl. ---

Curling 190…I would love to see with your back up against a wall…that is serious weight to curl. LOL, that is free standing and no swaying or swinging,that is for cheaters and doesn,t do anything,u have to stay focused and stiff. As far as the 105 in 2 months goes,i have always been able to lift alot but stopped lifting and being so active,so when i start up agian i tend to move quikly through the weight. Plus it is benficial if u do ur last 4 reps slowly and controled,it builds the muscles faster and more tighter. ---

I agree…but for curls I do my first 8 or so with perfect form then I “cheat” on my last 2…it is better to cheat on them than not to do any at all. It would be a form of a high intensity w/o I guess. 190 though I want to see what I got…I havent maxed at curling in a while. ---

hahahah. :)🙂 curling 190 for sets of 10 is almost impossible, professional bodybuilders and competitive strongmen dont even curl that for their sets! your biceps can’t possibly get that stronger unless all of the supporting muscles are as strong. so considering your tris are 2/3s of your arms you must do tricep exercises with weights in the 300s! i dont even want to get started with what your shoulders and chest should support if you can curl that. hahaha! im sorry, its still hilarious. if your going to lie be realistic about it. ---

I really don’t like to call BS on people because I have seen some people smaller than me bench 300lbs. but curling 190 for 10 reps is just sick. A guy I work with can bench in the low 400lb range and he doesn’t even rep that kind of weight with curls. mad props if he can curl 190 though, that’s just downright impressive. > [@TwoFortySX](#): > > hahahah. :)🙂 > > curling 190 for sets of 10 is almost impossible, professional bodybuilders and competitive strongmen dont even curl that for their sets! your biceps can’t possibly get that stronger unless all of the supporting muscles are as strong. so considering your tris are 2/3s of your arms you must do tricep exercises with weights in the 300s! i dont even want to get started with what your shoulders and chest should support if you can curl that. > > hahaha! im sorry, its still hilarious. if your going to lie be realistic about it. ---
