 Abs Hi norma. I want to build some muscle in my arms & have a nice defined tone to them. I would love to have my arms look like Linda hamilton's from the terminator movie. Anyway I train my arms 3 days a week I am only lifting 8 lbs can't really go any higher in weight than that I don't think. But I do 2 sets of 8 different exercises for my arms. I do 50 reps for each exercise totaling 100 reps 3 days a week. I used to do 20 reps but that got too easy, when I do 50 I can barely lift my weight on the last rep. My arms are shaky and burning. Will doing this amount build muscle ? I've heard a lot about you can build muscle lifting a heavy weight & fewer reps, or you lift a light weight and do a lot more reps, and achieve the same results Muscle !!! but I don't want huge arms of course. can you define if there is truth to this ? if so, when will I start to notice muscle and definition in my arms ?

 Abs I have just started to excercise, and I need a little advice about what to do. Today I walked 3 miles on the treadmill(35-55min), then did weight excercise. My plays professional basketball and he told me that I should only walk 15-20min on the treadmill and the exercise. I figured he knows what he's talking about since he works out everyday. Is he correct. Should I only spend 15-20min on the TM. I am trying to lose weight fast. Around 45lbs in 7 months. What do you recommend that I do. I do not want to take any pills. I go to the gym everyday.
