The Pro Creator has many years of experience in bodybuilding and often shares it with his fans.
In a recent short video uploaded on Rambod’s YouTube channel, hanyrambod_FST7, he addressed the most common mistake beginners make while starting their bodybuilding journey. Let’s take a look at what the Pro Creator advised young gymgoers for their first workout.

In the video, the host asked Rambod, “What is the biggest mistake you see beginner lifters make that they don’t realize is hindering their results?” To which the Pro Creator instantly replied without thinking twice and said, “I would say the number one thing is adding too much weight.” As a beginner, lifting heavy weights might not be a good choice for you.
A person needs to learn the perfect form for doing each exercise. This is a crucial step in the beginner program because lifting heavy objects might affect your form and lead to a fatal injury. Starting with light weights helps you make your movements more controlled at each step. This helps to increase longevity and gives much better results than just following the movement.

The Pro Creator concluded and said, “If you’re starting out in your teenager and or in your early 20s really start stepping up your game you can’t go too heavy.” Just like this, the mentor with 24 Olympia titles shared his ultimate bicep workout for monstrous arms. Let’s find out what Rambod suggests.
A variation of bicep curls that increase overall growth
In a previous YouTube video, the Pro Creator disclosed some of the variations of biceps curls for unparalleled gains. Rambod shared that doing spider curls helps put a lot of stress in the right place on the biceps, isolating the muscles. “It really makes you focus and not use momentum or swing,” explained the mentor.

Rambod not only shared how to do the exercise, but he also made a few adjustments to the curls to make them more effective. He emphasized doing the exercise following slow contractions and relaxations, which provided extra stress on the muscles and increased their overall growth.
