more reps and less weight to build muscles ?
I have small biceps , I am doing currently 2 sets of 12 reps , each for 17.5 kgs , this is on a machine . I am also doing a combined arm extention of 30 kgs
should I increase the number of reps in each set , or should i increase the weight what would build up my muscles faster ?
yeah food is important , but what about excercise schedule ?
More reps less weights = muscle tone
More weights less reps = muscle mass
5-8 reps = muscle mass
8-15 = muscle tone
2 sets is awfully weak and won't do anything. The standard is 3sets or 4sets if you do muscle mass training.

Food has a lot to do with this too, plain pasta helps build muscle (cows eat this to become bigger aka wheat). Try muscle milk and protein bars while doing that.
