Remember when you're lifting to get a full R.O.M. Very important. Nevermind at this stage about supersets, drop sets or forced reps. Just build a solid foundation first. One principle I like to take advantage of is the Peak Contraction Principle. This is whereby at the contraction phase of each rep, you squeeze the target puscle area as hard as you can for 1-2 seconds.

By doing 20 sets of chest for someone just beginning in the sport you are overtraining. I highly doubt that you are getting the rest or consuming tha proper amounts of macro and micronutrients to properly replenish the muscle at a 20 set workload.

yes ok thanks alot..
I dont know why I did 20 sets.. it didnt seem hard tho..

you know its funny you see people in the gym who are obvious begginers and they are doing like 1 - 1.5 hours of weights. I watch them and they are dripping in sweat. isnt that over kill??? and they are all skinny guys hahahah


ohh BTW what does R.O.M mean??


just curious why only do 3 or 4 different exercises and 3 sets of each?
what are the benefits of this? compared to doing like 10 different exercises and doing 3-5 sets??

cheers man..
