Are 14 inch arms big im 16 and im 5 10 and weigh 160 By the way im starting to lift weights and plan to get sixteens in two months is it possible?

14 inch arms are perfect! You're making good progress especially if youre 16. Getting sixteen inch arms in 2 months, however isn't very likely. But if you keep lifting and make sure you're eating lots of calories and protein, you can be there in about 6 months. I've been there before and trust me you're doing fine, don't stress their size too much. And when it's warm out again get a tan! Tan skin makes muscles look bigger! Keep working hard

You don't exactly need a protein shake before your workout. A protein shake is best taken right after you are finished with your workout.

I would only recommend taking protein at other times of the day if you are not recieving the approximate amount of protein you need through your diet.

Do you get six pack from jumping rope?

Not directly. A six-pack is the result of fatty tissue being thin enough so as to make the abdominal muscles visible. You do not need to have large abdominal muscles in order to have a six-pack.

Jumping rope is a great cardiovascular exercise, and will help you to burn fat. If you burn enough fat, you will be able to see your abs. If you couple this with abdominal muscle-building exercises, your six-pack will become more apparent with less need for fat loss.

Does Adderall effect your exercise?

I do Crossfit workouts which are pretty intense and there are two things that cause an issue.

Adderall has a tendency make you eat far less than usual so in order to keep your energy level up you're almost forced to shove food down your throat.

The other issue might be more mental but I will typically take my Adderall after I do my workout in the morning so that it doesn't have any affect on my heart rate. I do notice an increased heart rate during the day after popping the little pill so it might be something to think about for having a heart attack mid sprint.
