Hey guys,

I'm from the Houston area and I'm new to the smashboards community. I intend to attend HOBO 13 to get my first taste of the Smash world outside of my small group of friends. This is my first tournament, so can anyone let me know of the basics? Mainly I just want to know if I have to pre-register to attend or if I can just show up and pay $5 and play.

Thanks
Whereabouts in Houston do you live? Practice might be able to go down.

Is the tournament double elimination?

What exactly does practicing involve...? Do we just meet up at someone's house and then Brawl I guess? I'm still a high school student, so bringing people in that I met online probably isn't cool with my parents, but I could more than likely go to someone else's house now that I can drive and all.

Like everybody else, when I started bodybuilding, I wanted bigger biceps, even though I am blessed with good arm genetics. I thought the route to follow was doing barbell curls, but my early experiences with that exercise taught me that although barbell curls allowed me to use heavy weights, the muscular stress caused by the poundage was in no way being applied 100% to my biceps. I believe that the heavy weights employed for barbell curls encourage the user to cheat through the exercise, perhaps without even knowing it. A person tends to bend the upper torso to let the momentum of the weight take over. In addition, instead of the biceps powering out the reps, forearms and front delts are called into play too much.


You must analyze what kind of development you are aiming for with your biceps training. You should seek full development in terms of thickness and fullness of your biceps muscle attachments, plus optimum accentuation of the biceps peaks. Those aspects are best achieved by exercises that isolate the biceps - ones that allow you to put maximum stress on your biceps throughout the completion of each set. Cheating on barbell curls means that at certain times during the course of a rep, the biceps are given an easy, if not free, ride.

Based on the preceding thought, I came to the conclusion that cable work provided the required dual facilities of isolating the biceps while allowing them to be under constant stress throughout the completion of each set. The latter element is particularly difficult to attain during the negative (descending) part of each rep. This is where cables score heavily. With cables, you can maintain muscular stress during the negative phase to an extent that is not mechanically possible with free weights.

Many authorities claim that cables are solely for advanced bodybuilders, in order 'to refine what they've already built.' I don't agree. Cable work allows you to attack the biceps with 100% concentration, and that sort of exclusive application will make the biceps grow. Muscle fibers don't know whether the stress is being applied by free weights or a machine; they respond only to the level of muscular stress being placed on them. Whatever does the job, will do the job!

Remember, my biceps training routine can be followed by weight trainers of all levels, though for beginners, I would suggest a slight modification to the routine. As you will notice, I advise that a beginner reduce the number of reps and increase the weight on the last two sets of each exercise. This is because a beginner's need for sheer size is more urgent than building hardness and density. The lower rep range and heavier poundages will fulfill that need.



pretty much all you need to practice. also, eat whey protein everyday and try to stack about 4-5 meals a day of lean, good protein.

hope this helped you on practicing.

i have my priorities straight, i just said since i haven't prepared for it i don't want to make a bad score. i've taken the SAT once and i made around an average score, so i want to do good on this next one. and yes, you can reschedule the SAT, i already looked it up.
