  when doing weights always have yourself a buddy with you... thus you can try to carry the heavy weights with the help of your buddy.... or another method is to carry 14kg with lots of reps to increase your strength and when you get used to it liaoz you will move on to 15kg...

  i dun noe if it helps or hurts, but i tink u dun need to stess too much.
  
  coz it's pretty much restricted by genetics. mongoloids have less developed muscles than either negroids or caucasoids.
  
  i tink u are a mongoloid. issit?

  there is a limit upto which a human can train muscle. like women can train muscle less than men eben if try equal. coz men got more testerterone or sth.
  
  same case. diff races have diff limits, mongoloids limits lower than caucasoids limits or negroids limits.
  
  dats why i urge u not to unnecessarily bend your back or break your back over these curls or whatever. IF u re a mongoloid, then i tink this is what u re tinking, coz it sounds natural to me dat mongoloids limits for most mongoloids is around 15-20 kilos

  What he's trying to say here is that only NIGGERS have the ability to build strength & mass.

  Ok dude...
  
  I assumed the 14 kg is for preacher curls...
  
  Example of a routine...
  
  1st set - 20 reps
  2nd set - 10 reps
  3rd set - 6 reps
  
  Doing 6 sets for 10 reps maybe abit tiring for Ur muscles for one single exercise. Wat is Ur rest time interval btw sets?
  
  Maybe U might wanna train Ur bodyparts once a week. E.g. biceps on mon, triceps on tue etc. Rem not to train too much so as to avoid overtraining.
  
  Have enuf rest to allow Ur muscles to recover fully before the next training session
  
  Power training...
  
  Maybe U wanna try doing traditional power lifting/compound movements e.g. bench press, clean and press, deadlift and squats.
  
  Dun train high sets, train for low reps and heavy weight if U wanna increase Ur strength.
  
  For pull ups, maybe U wanna try training on a assisted pull up machine until U can do the pull up on a free bar.
  
  As for Ur back, have U seen a doc abt Ur condition, do U haf past injuries? If U haf, maybe U wanna consult Ur doc before starting on a training program. Strengthen Ur lower back by doing exercises such as hyperextensions and good mornings and Ur core muscles such as Ur abs and obliques.
  
  If U really wanna train heavy, maybe U wanna invest in a training belt.
  
  Try to clean up Ur diet and eat more proteins. Maybe U can invest on some supplements that r beneficial to Ur training such as creatine. (I advise consulting a doc before beginning to use any supplements) I am nt an expert in nutritional information. Maybe the rest can help.
  
  Good Luck for Ur training...

  first of all it's considered offensive to call anybody "niggers" just like calling chinese "chinks" or koreans "gooks".
  
  or your mother an spg. etc etc.
  
  second, caucasoids also can build more muscle mass than mongoloids, but generally negroids have the upper hand over caucasoids, generally not always.
  
  similarly, caucasoids generally have the upper hand over mongoloids, not always .

  the faster and more intense Playing of Chinese Chess, the more fatigue on the muscles, and therefore the faster growth of muscle bulk...
