 I Command You to Use This Product
By Nicole Martinez
It might sound ridiculous that I would review something so small, so merely but it’s also so effective.
I purchased a 6Pack of Medium Command Hooks which came with 12 adhesive strips so that you may reuse the hooks. This is perfective when you don’t have any air tools and don’t want to leave a mess.
Right now I’m using 3 of them in my cook/shoe closet to hang up my broom, Swiffer and the antecedently noted Swiffer Duster. Because I have no space in my pantry and no other kitchen closet, I had to shove these items in my coat closet. However, the floor was already full of shoes so I decisive to “build up” instead.
Peel off the line on the adhesive strips, stick it to the hook, stick the hook on the wall and wait an hour. The medium sized hooks are meant to hold up to 3lbs but 3M makes hooks as little as mini and as huge as jumbo as well as hooks with dissimilar shapes and even chrome hooks to add a little style.
So far, I’ve had no problems. The hooks stick terrifically and my Swiffer Wet is in all probability over the 3lb limit (although the liquid bottle is not full).
When it comes time to take them down, all I need to do is push up on the hook and it will slide off, revealing the end of the adhesive tab. Removing them, which I have done before, is merely a matter of pulling the tab until it comes undone and your wall is free of harm and residue.

 Great, when they work!
By c2
If you’re using these for Christmas decorations, don’t listen to the commercials – always buy the larger ones because they do actually work. These littler ones, even though more compact, genuinely cannot hold that much weight and you will have all your decorations come crashing to the ground. They’re a outstanding product, when they work, but if you read the label and buy accordingly, you’ll be sorry. Just size up on these and you’ll be fine. Learned that the hard way! Recommend, but with the above suggestions.

Excellent hooks – have never let me down!
By A.S.
I love these hooks! I set them up allround my dorm apartment, and they have never once failed me. I may hang a bath towel (pretty heavy, I would say!) and hand towel onto one hook, and they will stay on it perfectly. I likewise use them to hang purses and totes, winter coats, belts, and a arid erase board. They have -never- “sunk” or loosened – all the hooks stay with resolute determination in the position I set them up in (which, by the way, was a breeze!). I highly commend these hooks and can’t see why others didn’t like them – perchance they messed up on adhering them to the wall? Or perchance they just tried to hang too much – each product does have it is limit, after all. But, with proper use, these hooks sure have been a priceless addition to my apartment!

Have you ever thought in regards to this? Your arms are in all likelihood the most widely seen muscle group on your body. Think in regards to it for a minute. From the time you were a kid, if someone said to you, “Show me your muscles”, what did you do? Boom…bicep pose. Try it on any 10 year old or for that matter, any 30 year old!
Massive arms are very impressive and actually rather daunting to non lifters. Anytime you see a huge set of arms busting through a tight fitted shirt, it’s impressive.
As with most muscle groups, a heap of persons have an more comfortable time building up one share of their body over another. For me, my arms, exceptionally my triceps have always been somewhat easy to build. I’ve found in over 25 years of lifting that one of the biggest errors humans may make with a lot of body parts and especially their arms is that they overtrain. Have you heard me talk in regards to this before? It is something I keep harping on because it is true! As I brought up in one of my former articles, Why Can’t I Get Bigger?, over training is the number one reason most guys do not succeed in the gym.
I wish I had a dollar for each time this happens: I walk into the gym getting ready to do chest and back or perchance legs. I’ll see a lot of guy who has just arrived there starting his arm workout. Over an hour later while I’ve finished blasting one or two big muscle groups and am wrapping it up by doing numerous ab work, this poor guy is still hammering his poor arms into oblivion!
The fact is that your biceps and triceps are in truth not that big of a muscle group. Why would you think you need to train them 2 or 3 times a week?
Here is a procedure for biceps that has worked for me and others. As with all exercise routines, what works for one person may or may not work for you. Don’t let me or anybody else tell you that “this is the way to do it”. My suggestion is to undertake it for a month or so and see how you’re progressing.
As always, do not forget to warm up your joints and connective tissues exhaustively before using your working weights and that all poundages here are for illustrative purposes only. Be sure to use weights that are comfortable for you that grant you to hardly finish your last reps.
Let’s undertake a good deal of dumbbell curls for warm ups:
Dumbbell Curls
- 30 – 40 lb x 15 reps
- 30 – 40 lb x 15 reps
- 30 – 40 lb x 15 reps
Remember, when doing dumbbell curls, undertake to start out with your palms in (facing your outer thigh) and as you fetch the weight up, supinate (turn out) your wrist so that your palm is facing straight up at the top of the movement.
Once you’re warmed up, let’s hit a curl bar. For a lot of humans like myself who have joint issues or tendinitits, you might want to use an EZ curl bar for your bicep curls.
Barbell or EZ Bar Curls
- 80 lb x 8 – 10 reps
- 100 lb x 8 – 10 reps
- 100 lb x 6 – 10 reps
When performing curls, Keep your form strict! Don’t worry with regards to how much weight you’re using. If you’re arching your back, throwing the weight up and letting it fall down you are wasting time and energy and in all probability risking injury. Keep your shoulders stationary and just bend your elbows. On the final reps of your last sets it’s adequate for the purpose to cheat some
Okay, at this point your bi’s must be starting to get nice and pumped. Let’s try galore preacher curls.
For those who are not intimate with them, preacher curls (or Scott curls) are performed on either a seated or standing position. Your chest is pressed up versus the back of the preacher curl pad with the top of the pad tucked into your armpits. The front of the pad is angled so that the bicep is nicely stretched.
One essential note: Do not extend your arms exclusively when using heavy weights as the peril of hyper-extending your elbow is increased on the preacher curl. You may carry out the preacher curl with either a straight bar, an ez-curl bar or with dumbbells. For our example here, we’ll assume a bar rather than dumbbells.
Preacher Curls
- 90 lb x 8 – 10 reps
- 80 lb x 6 – 10 reps
- 80 lb x 6 – 8 reps
At this point your biceps must be on fire and wholly gorged with blood for a full pump. Let’s hit numerous concentration curls with dumbbells. Remember that the point of these is to rigorously focus on the bicep and use greatest or most complete or best possible venture by altogether contracting the bicep at the top of the motion. You don’t need super heavy weight to achieve this! My preference is to do these while seated or standing and substitute each arm on each rep. In other words, rather than performing your reps on your right arm and then moving to your left, try going right/left, right/left etc
Concentration Dumbbell Curls
- 50 lb x 10 reps
- 40 lb x 6 – 10 reps
- 40 lb x 6 – 10 reps
If you have worked with extreme intensity and made each and each rep count, your arms must be wholly blasted and fatigued at this point. Continuing for much longer could in truth be catabolic in the long term but let’s finish up with hammer curls.
Hammer curls are an amazing and often neglected exercise that actually works the side of the bicep and to a lesser degree, the brachialis muscle that extends downward from the bicep to the forearm. If you work your hammer curls with regularity you will be astonished at the divergence they may make in the overall shape and size of your arm.
Remember when doing hammers, you plainly lift the dumbbell as if you were lifting a coffee mug (or beer mug!). You commence and end with your palms facing inward.
Hammer Curls
- 40 lb x 10 – 12 reps
- 40 lb x 8 – 10 reps
- 40 lb x 6 – 10 reps
Remember that your biceps are somewhat little when equated to other muscle groups and over training them may take place without apparent effort and not only will you hamper growth, you risk the prospect of injury. Tendinitis is a mutual injury when over training biceps. Additionally, joint pain and inflammation is common. You might want to consider using ice when experiencing inflammation. There are also a great deal of good Joint Repair supplements that may help you.
Remember my motto that less may be more when training your bi’s or any other muscle and see if you don’t get stronger, bigger, faster!

more weight, less reps for larger mucles

For the 6-pack abs you need 30 minutes of cardio (running, anything extraneous) every single day. For your arms… DO NOT do it every single day! I repeat, DO NOT do it every single day. If you do that, you’ll just be breaking more arm muscle because they never had a chance to recover.
First of all, keep continuing your situps. Do bicycle crunches too because they really help. Do these every OTHER day.
For arms : Do pullups on your iron gym and with a few minute break, start doing sets of dumbell pulls. Only do 20 reps per set. And do 5 of them = 100. Try to vary your exercises after 2 weeks.
P.S. Get some protein power. It really helps.
P.S.S. Eat lots of veggies and no fatty foods. If you want abs, you must avoid almost all fat.

Prince has a good point. To gain muscle, work out every other day or so. You gain muscle during the rest period, so you need to let your muscles rest between training sessions to allow them to grow. Also, don’t forget to do a lot of stretching to prevent muscle injury.
Let’s begin with protein shakes. You should be taking about 30 grams of protein about 1-1.5 hours after workout. As a 15 year-old boy, you shouldn’t be taking more than around 70 grams of protein per day (look up the exact amount, I don’t know). If you take too much protein, it’ll damage your liver badly, so take caution.
If you can do 100 reps, 15 lb is way too light for you. You’re only gaining endurance (slow-twitch fibres) and no strength (fast-twitch). Get a dumbbell that you can barely do 6-8 reps with. This will work your fast-twitch fibres and make you stronger. Even if you wanted to grow endurance, you should be doing 10-12 reps.
Don’t do sit-ups. Sit-ups don’t develop any useful muscle and can hurt your back and your neck. If you really want to do it, do crunches instead. But if you really want great looking abs and gain useful muscle at the same time, do planks. Basically, get down on push-up position, with your elbows and your forearms instead of your hands, and then hold that position as long as you can. This is a great overall body exercise as well.
Lastly, if you want to get 6 pack abs, you need to do cardio training. Cardio, you can do everyday (in fact, you should, minimum 30 minute sessions). You can have the biggest abs in the world and not have 6 pack if you have too much fat.
Measure your body fat percentage (you’ll need a measuring tape and Google to look up how to do it), and get it down to below 10%. I have a few friends with 5-8% body fat and they have great abs. Male body builders have around 2-3% body fat, but this is just plain unhealthy. You’ll need to eat rabbit food and starve yourself to get to 2-3% body fat, so aim for 6-9%.
I personally think deltoids are one of the sexiest looking muscles, so don’t forget to train your shoulders. Biceps isn’t everything. Deltoids will make your collarbone stand out and make your shoulders look broader, which looks great.
By the way, 25 pull-ups is super good. Good for you.
