well. on paper, it looks good, but sometimes i'll slack or what not. some days i'm more motivated than others. also, i got a lot of issues i.e. mild autism, anger/rage management problems, borderline schizophrenia. This stuff is my therapy. i happen to disagree with the US government/pharmaceutical indusrty telling me which drugs i can take and which ones i can't.

find a weight at which you can get the full range of motion for at least 6 reps but not more than 10-12. shoot for around 8 reps per set. don't think about the weight, think about how your muscle is contracting.
guys that lift huge amounts of weight with terrible form and very little range of motion (i.e. "ego lifters") have trouble making significant strength and size gains and are prone to injury. -

don't overtrain either. your muscles need rest in order to grow. make sure you get plenty of sleep and food and take days off. make sure you adhere to your split and try not to work the same muscle more than once every 5-7 days. if you can work the same muscle groups more often than that you are not training hard enough.

sorry if i was unclear. i don't do all that lifting in one week! i was just listing all the various lifting exercises i do.Originally posted by Justme
With all the working out.. what about recover time? I amnot sure of your age, but do you find that to be an issue....
some weeks i'll do a "pull" and "push" day. Then to change things up, the next week i'll do the "Chest and Arms" and "shoulders/back" routine. I try to do legs every other Friday.
i lift on Mon. Wed. and every other friday. I don't lift on Tues. Thurs. and every other Fri. nor on Sat. or Sun.
I seem to recover okay, but I should be getting more sleep. i'm 33 years old. -
