1. I know cardio should be done in the am on an empty stomach, but I cant
do it then. is in the afternoon 2hours after a meal ok?
2. is there any exercise that will work the outer bicept better? I seem to be growing way more on the inside and want to balance it out a bit.
thanks bros
i've heard people recommend HIIT for afternoon cardio. do a search for it.
and i think hammer curls are supposed to hit your outer bicep, maybe change up your grip on a supercurl bar so that its more reverse.. i have the same problem

I thought if you reverse the grip(knuckles up) it works fore arms :scratch:Quote:

anyone else????
i'm pretty sure doing a curl it wont work ONLY the forearms but yea it does hit it. i would go 100% reverse, theres supercurl/easycurl bars at the gyms that you can change it so you're not completely reverse.. I personally like doing the hammercurls where my grip is completely vertical, I saw a major difference when i was doing that versus doing straight curls and easy bar curls..

HIIT in the afternoon is not the same as doing it in the a.m. at a lower intensity to utilize fat as the energy source.
Your desired results dictate what your cardio is.

my bad, i didnt mean to say it was the same, but better than nothing.
I myself have a very hard time ever doing cardio in the morning for 45 minutes because i get up at 7:00 and wont go to bed early enough to get up 1 hour prior.

It's challenging at times, but when I want something I know works, for me I know what I have to do. It's worth the end product.

well I would love to do am cardio but I got to be at work before the gym even opens.
and due to a bad knee injury running is not an option for me right now. my desired results, right now I am bulking so I am just doing it to keep up. soon I will be cutting
and want to be as efficent as I can. right now I am 14%bf and want to be 10%
by july. I have a pretty good diet so is this goal realistic?
yea, thats what i gotta tell myself everyday.
especially when drinking 1/3 chocolate protein, 2/3 rootbeer flavored protein, and 1 tbsp flax..
