You definately need to pick up the curl bar then In my non-professional medical opinion. As a fan of fitness I suggest that you work out to muscle failure regularly. Eat alot of carbs about 1 hour before work out, and some carbs and alot of protien 1-2 hours after you work out. Don't forget to stretch (stretching get you results faster = less work in the long run.) Drink water like a horse (but don't forget to have salt in your diet or water will kill you.) I'm not very clear on this statisic, but if I am not mistaken you can gain around 6 pounds just from water weight. Also don't eat garbage like coke or pepsi or ice cream. Stop smoking and using drugs if you do. I'm not suggesting that you do.
