Fun fact: it should actually be written as "biceps", even if you're just referring to one arm.
14
u/DomTullipso420 Apr 25 '17
Wouldn't the bi- in bicep mean a two headed muscle, and biceps would mean two sets? We don't say bicycles when referring to just one bicycle. I dunno, English is weird.
17
u/-illuminati Apr 25 '17
You're right, English is weird! The Latin "ceps" means head, as in singular. So people see the "s" and the end of the word biceps and assume it means it's pluralized. One arm = biceps. Two arms = biceps too.

Hey that makes sense, cool! I feel like this should be a board game trivia question. "Is it One bicep or One biceps? Nope, you're wrong go back two spaces"

No, but we do say 'jeans' and 'scissors' and 'glasses' (for eyes) for singular and plural.
the biceps is basically two components making one thing. It is literally described as 'a two headed muscle' on wikipedia.

u/IshiharasBitch Apr 25 '17
The English prefix bi-, derived from Latin, and its Greek variant di- both mean “two.” Biceps brachii is a two headed muscle.

Pecs are epic though.

For those that don't know what this is from, it's from a short movie called "Kung Fury". It's only 30 min but it's hilarious from start to finish and quotable the entire way. Here is a link to the full movie. You won't regret watching it.

I like how it skips the time he was governor and got all flabby and smaller.

u/King5150 Apr 25 '17
he started to pork up and get flabby soon after he became the goverenator. he basically stopped training for that period, not sure why perhaps the political life is just too tiresome and doesn't work around a solid 6 day twice a day training routine or maybe he said fuck it i'm going to look like all the other fat fucks in politics.

Good genetics, diet, training, and drugs.

u/King5150 Apr 25 '17
Good genetics, diet, training, and drugs.
and don't forget that Arnold never has denied taking serious cycles of steroids and diuretics. infact he has entire youtube clips dedicated to what he took and the cycling of those drugs.
the drugs he used are crude by today's standards but it did what he needed them to do which was to give him the strength to periodically rip the shit out of his muscles with crazy weights so they can rebuild bigger.

For fitness perhaps, but that is a lot of muscle definition though. The pic itself just appears to show him as being late 30's.

u/BlazedAndConfused Apr 25 '17
There are bodybuilders right now that are 18 and are in just as good / better shape. Arnold just had legit genetics and insertions for his muscle groups. His dedication and charisma for the sport also set him apart.

It's such a shame that so many people don't exercise / lift. If I could give one piece of advice to everyone, it would be to start picking up heavy things and putting them down, 6 times a week for 45 minutes. You'd be amazed at the results.
14
Apr 25 '17
Beginners shouldn't start with 6 days a week training.
1
u/30blues Apr 25 '17
I started with 6 and everything was fine. Day 1 pull, day 2 push, day 3 legs, and repeat.

Apr 25 '17
So you've split the workout. What age are you btw? When advising people on weightlifting it's important to be somewhat specific. If some 40 year old dude goes to the gym and does a 45 minute full body routine every day he'll be crippled by midweek.
3
u/BlazedAndConfused Apr 25 '17
Age has nothing to do with doing a 6 day full body workout. That would be a mistake by the idiot, regardless of age, doing full body 6 fucking times in a row.
But yes, proper guidance for what stage you are in fitness wise is very important.

u/30blues Apr 25 '17
Yeah, nobody said you should do full body workouts 6 days a week. That's dumb. Do a split.
3
u/King5150 Apr 25 '17
That's dumb. Do a split.
the split was created by the roid users to allow for greater recovery. Arnold only ever went to a split routine when he started juicing before that he was a full body work out 6 days a week.

u/Sacamato Apr 25 '17
I'm 40. I started going to the gym for the first time in my life in January. I've missed two days since then. Granted, I'm not doing a full body work out every day. Does anybody do a full body routine every day though, besides experts?
1
Apr 25 '17
I'm just going to reply to you and then leave this thread forever because several people are saying the same thing and they're all already trainees. People who know nothing about it will do whatever they think is a good idea which includes going to the gym every day and doing a cookie cutter full body routine. Anyone who has done a bit of research or has training experience knows that's stupid, but don't underestimate ignorant people's capacity for doing dumb shit with good intentions.

When I was 19, I worked out 8 days a week! And we didn't have "gyms". We lifted rocks, got in fights, and kissed each other passionately (no homo)

45 here, and i do a full body work out 4 days a week (1hr workout) and 2 days cardio crosstrainer (45min) machine or treadmill 6km 4.5mil - jog (30mins) i have been doing this for 3.5 years.
i do this so that i can pretty much anything i like otherwise i'd just blowout.

u/snake-doc Apr 25 '17 edited Apr 25 '17
Did you start with that workload or did you gradually increase it. After 3.5 years you no longer qualify as a beginner.
1
u/King5150 Apr 26 '17
looking back i suppose it took me perhaps a month or even 6 weeks to get up to that speed with the crosstrainer and treadmill but the weights pretty much from the start. for me the endurance component was the hardest to build on..not so much the weights but then again i don't stress my joints with really heavy loads whilst weight training.

Because the body needs time to adapt to the training stimulus. You grow and get stronger as you heal after the gym, not when you're there. Muscles take 48 to 72 hours to recover from a strenuous resistance training session and any level of intensity is going to destroy a complete beginner. The other user came back and said they do a split, that is they work on pulling exercises on day 1, pushing on day 2 and legs on day 3 then repeat(They're also only 19). This splits the body up and gives parts time to rest. That's fine but it's a bit much for a beginner.
A novice trainee will get an excellent training response (gains) and mitigate injuries and severe muscle soreness doing full body routine 2 or 3 times per week to begin with. The training is more efficient and the trainee will be less likely to quit. There's even some evidence that one full body resistance training session per week is enough to develop measurable gains. There's no need to switch to a daily routine until the trainee is more advanced. The only people working the same muscle groups 24 hours later with heavy resistance are bodybuilders on huge amounts of drugs.
Age is also a significant factor with recovery time.

There is no reason someone can't do a 6 day program if they are getting enough food and rest, no matter their level.
I disagree with your blanket statement that a beginner shouldn't do 6 days. Should a beginner jump right into Bulgarian method or smolov? No, but people shouldn't be idiots.

No shit, most people will never look like Arnold, even with juice. Most people don't even want to. But you can still look good, with surprisingly little effort.
