Building bulging biceps isn’t rocket science either. Again, it’s all about using proper form and sticking to the principles of progressive overload and the anabolic rep range of 8-12 reps. [...] [...] I said in an article last week that building powerful pecs was easy; it is. Building bulging biceps isn’t rocket science either.

I would recommend that you separate your weight training from your boxing training. Leave at least a few hours and a good meal between them. Yes, it works great for women with no changes required.

I box to stay in shape and so train in the gym sparring, bags, skipping etc. for approx 2 hours per session between 1-3 times per week. It was because I re-started training and noticed that I seemed to be losing weight, that I started looking into the bodybuilding, despite being virtually the Big Four-oh. I'm about 5'7" approx 180lbs and my electronic scales say 27% b-f, although I look in good shape. What I want to know is how to adapt your muscle gain plan to give me good size gains, whilst still maintaining and improving my boxing needs e.g. strength, speed, flexibility, fitness, endurance etc. Must add, this is REALLY great site, you seem very knowledgable and I can't wait to see what results following your regime brings. p.s. will it work as well for a woman?

Or is it keeping to one fixed weight of say 35kg but decreasing reps. Sorry for all the questions recently. Thanks mate matt Sorry Mark, can’t get my head round this;
