Bicep and Triceps Hypertrophy And Aerobic Fitness Questions....

[john]

...(Reps/Sets/Rest/Frequency)? Hi I'm going to try and make this short and sweet. In recent years i have gone off and on weight lifting, Being wound up with other commitments.

But I'd like to get a few things straight.. i understand hypertrophy is suggest 6-12 or 8-12 Reps over 4-6 Sets.

I'm not 100% on rest intervals are they 3-4min between sets?

It takes 48 hours for muscle fibers to completely repair, yet people suggest once every 3 days. Is it a good or bad things to do it once every 48 hours?

Also i have been told to accompany Biceps with Triceps.

Are triceps hypertrophy the same Rest/Sets/Reps etc..?

Also my major question is that i heard that you can't lose body weight around you're abdominal area(Not that I'm fat or anything just don't have a 6 pack) lol so doing constant Aerobic fitness training for physical outcome, whilst dieting. I knew this but i thought maybe the burning off of body weight will destroy the fact I'm trying to gain muscle mass?

Any ideas?

Thanks.

ok for hypertrophy shooting for 8-12 reps for a set is supposed to be ideal... i honestly say whatever... as long as i work out my muscles thoroughly i figure im fine.. but i usually do 8-12 reps a set...usually with some drop sets.

and rest intervals... no clue i circuit train

as for weight loss and muscle gain yea you can do it. just keep your eating reasonable.
