Ques. on strength training

[Uri Shatil]

My answer to any question like this: The most effective way is the way that the routine you are following that was designed by someone who knows more than you do tells you to do. At this early in your development, quit trying to design your own personal routine, as you don't know enough to know what is effective and what isn't.

Read this over twice, post it on your door, an loop it on your stereo while sleeping. Don't do a routine you designed yourself unless you know a lot - a lot, meaning you've been doing strength training for years. I don't know enough to design my own routine. Only a small portion of people who train do. Don't use your own routine.

My presence has been summoned, but now I've seen all the other dark spirits that lurk the deep guts of the PT forums have taken care of bizness.

Emeves nailed it down perfectly, and I'd suggest the OP to read the stickies. We have plenty of threads on this particular subject. Thanks.
