When you take the weights off and do a few rounds you feel so much faster and keeping your guard up seems so much easier. I find curls are the best for building your biceps, high reps with a low weight if you want to tone but if you want to bulk up then do short reps with heavy weights.

Actually you can,it wears down your joints after a while

Have done pretty well with the weight training i was doing. Into the last month now so It's weight shedding time so no more weights.
