weights

[BeRt_250f]

hey all does anyone do weight coz i wanna get a bench press but i herd it makes arm pump worse is this true, does anyone know, does anyone on here do weights?

[Mungoman45]

I do, but i dont race, so i wouldn't know about the armpump factor personally, however i have heard along the grapevine from several people that do race that doing extensive weights doesn't help the factor.

yeh i do weights too and i dont think it makes da armpump worse, but den again i dont race either.

Well mate, I don't do weights, never have, more than likely never will only because I'm a lazy, lazy man (except for rehabilitation means) and I've never had arm-pump, nor have I raced, but I ride Freestyle, and ridden 6 hours straight and only after the 6th hour, did my arms actually cramp up

I have heard that it can make arm pump worse for those who suffer from it in the first place but I am not really sure of the reasonings why. If you are doing it to help improve your strength for racing then Id lift lighter weights with more repititions. Will build up your strength without adding huge muscle bulk and will also improve you stamina and fitness.

roy ya nigga you wont get arm pump..only a few selected unlucky turds get arm pump... so get your gay ass bench press an pump some wieghts while i sit there an drink cans... ill still beat u....

you have no chance from getting arm pump from bench press but if u do bench press freely like FREE WEIGHTS yes u might cAUz u might be using ure upper arms n that but if u do like the machines with only move one way not free weights then u will be sweat. try stick to the machines not free weights. cheerz dude

dont do wieghts dude... you will get arm pump crazy... if you have more muscles you need more oxgen to keep them happy, so the more you have the faster you get it...

dont try to gain muscles, more work on endurane.. so low weights high reps....

but basically i wouldnt recomemd doing weights...

search the net for some indepth explanations about arm pump dude (twmx.com has some)

there are too many people with uninformed opinions about it and youll end up getting the wrong info.

I work out a couple of times a week. Usually 3 or 4. Doing both legs and upper body. You definately get a lot stronger, not sure about the armpump though.

Wow Bert. Thanks. Hope you feel better.

As for arm pump. You do weights. You get muscle. You get muscle tissue. You need more blood. Not enough blood gets to your arms, they cramp up.

If you do choose to do weights, make sure they are real light and just do lots of reps.

You're better off doing cadio work for moto's. Running or cycling. It'll help you last through the moto's much easier.
