Reply With QuoteBecause you are just starting it's a good start, but as you guys progress you might want to break it up more, change from doing 10 reps and go heavier with 5 reps etc. Bigger muscles can handle more sets.
If you are seeing results and you feel better then you guys are doing good.

Feedback Please
My girlfriend and I started lifting together about 3 months ago. We have both noticed increases in out strength, but I wanted to make sure we were on the right track. Please make any suggestions you have positive or negative. We work out in the morning for about an hour. We go 2 days on 1 day off. We do chest, biceps, and triceps one day, and legs, back, and shoulders next. Some of the back and shoulder exercises feel like they also work the arms, what do I do about that?
Chest, Biceps, Triceps
All are 3 sets of 10 increasing weight each set)
Bench
Incline Bench
Decline Bench
Tricep Pull Downs
Tricep Extensions
Normal Curls
Reverse Curls
Dips
Legs, Back, and Shoulders
Squats
Leg Extensions
Leg Curls
Calf Raises
Shrugs
Military Press
Upright Rows
Seated Rows
Chin-Ups
Thanks for any suggestions.

Thanks for the reply. We are only wanting to increase our strength and tone up a little. Does that matter on the sets and reps? We aren't wanting to get ripped up or anything like that. Sorry for the newbie questions.
Thanks-
Jeremy

For strength the usual saying is low reps lots of weight. I think you should change it up every now and again to higher reps 15 or so to give the muscle a bit of endurance.
Again you will want to change your routine every 8 weeks or so to keep the muscles shocked.
