Improving one group of muscles and lost another for unknown reason

[renemongeau]

If I work much more my abdomen then I lose volume with only my biceps. The triceps stay with the same volume. They are as strong as before but smaller size. I keep the same training but much more where I have some result, my abs. This week, it was good for my abdomen. I don’t need a specific look. I only want pain on my training and lift heavier. What can I do to avoid this problem?

Do you mean lose weight? Cos ab training has ZERO effect on muscle size.

 

[renemongeau]

If I am tired, size of muscle can be smaller. I ask more energy. If I do abs exercices, I will be tired to my upper body too. Is it possible to have an overtraining effect. I do arm exercices before.

You won't definitely get overtrained by that little. Overtraining takes months if not years of excess training and insufficient recovery.

If I understood your question, your problem is that once you have done your ab exercises you don't have much energy to do other upper body movements.

If that's the case the simple solution is to do your abs either on a different day or to prioritize your arms over abs, meaning do them first in your training session.

hard to answer this without knowing more

Perhaps, it is only in my mind. I am a beginner. I started to lost weight. I had 180 pounds. Actually, I am 67 kg, 170 cm. I had a good progress with 20 pounds to 85 pounds dumbbells. I started to have abs and my arms look to me smaller. That must be psychological because I have seen a girl with big arms.

Of course your arms are looking smaller and probably are smaller if you have lost that amount of body weight.
Don't worry, that's happens to everyone.

As you lose bodyfat you lose it everywhere. It doesnt mean you lose muscle

It's really hard to know the cause as there are so many variables, but I do have one question. Are you cutting carbs very lower completely to help you lose fat? Sometimes if I pushed to low on my carbs, my workouts go flat real quick, like one or two exercises in and I have no energy left to push through.

Say what???

 

[renemongeau]

I don't watch these diets of protein. I only watch my weight, I start before training at 71 kg and then I do muscular excercise until I reach 65 kg at each 2 days. I am much more addicted to work on bar. If my weight don’t move, It is easy treadmill at 14 km/h for 20 minutes.

Then maybe you should.

 

[stevesmi]

i would not even pay attention to your weight. pay attention more to how you feel and the mirror

i've weighed myself once in the past year lol.

Thank you

I would continue with my abs. I start to have some curves, this is much better than only one. I will try new exercises. I received good results on abs with one pull-up and then at the highest high, I curved my belly at the maximum limit. I repeated 40 to 100 times. I did really slowly movement. This fun, my body makes a rotation after after blocking chest on bare.

Can you rewrite this? I kinda understood the rest pretty much. But not the last part.

I'm not quite understanding it either.

I do a pull-up and then I do a bow which one makes a rotation of 90 degree.

So a pull up then you pull your knees to your chest for the abs?

No, I only bent with my abs, similar to swim butterfly when I push.

So wtf was the previous description about - bow and 90-degrees??

 

[renemongeau]

If I make a v, I lift my legs then my mass center moves too. I do a rotation.

Zero relevance to what you wanted to know. Just use basic exercise descriptions or, if it's very different, post a video.

I find a solution. I use a tailoring tape instead of my iphone. In two weeks, I get .5 cm. The iphone can do an auto zooming. This is a perspective effect, the problem. Now, I must learn to close my mouth on final repetition in order to not disturb people.
