can any one of you tell me what exercises are best to work on your bicep, tricep, upper chest and lower chest, do push ups work all your arms and upper chest and shoulders depending on how far you have your hands apart, is it best to elevate your feet higher also do you do push ups slow pace or just do it normal speed

Press ups will work those area's, depending where you put you hands.

Close is more on the arms, apart more on the chest/shoulders. Slower also works the muscles harder, slow up, slow down. This also applied to weights. Fast just makes you huff and puff for no reason. My System: Hybr!d

I goto fail and do 3-5 sets. Normally as a warm up because doing 50 reps isn't going to do much, aside from toning.
To build muscle 8-10 reps is where you want to be, so if you are doing 12+ comfortably it's time to move to weights. |

Sounds like too much weight, you should be able to use the weight comfortably with perfect form for 10+ reps and 3 sets.
I don't use 16kg each arm and I'm fairly experienced/trained. You need to do the reps dead slow, feel the burn as they say and with the right weight, not too much, not too little and you'll get results. Not necessary directed at you but It's common that people use too much weight doing 1 rep / 1 set thinking thats going to do anything or doing 100 curls at the speed of light using your body to swing it up, both are a waste of time. You male/female? |

Totally, at the end of the day if you find yourself struggling and losing form you got too much weight. When I first started I was keen to get on the big weight and do big lifts, I soon realised I was just cheating myself and wised up. It's not all about the kgs. Sleep/repair, variety of exercises, form and diet are more important imo.
