    hi just wanted to thank you all for ur advice over the past 2 weeks i can really start to see a differnce.
    my P.E teacher has let me and a mate use gym after skool on monday wednesday and friday so ive had quite a good work out ive been working on my Byceps, trispes ,pecs and deltroids and the back musles (i know some of them names are spelt rong hehe).
    just to make sure are these following facts correct,

    High reps /low weight = mussle tonein
    low reps / High weight= mussle buildin
    and is it ture u have to be able to do at least about 10 reps
    with set of weights for it to really do anyting??

    If you are looking for size 6-12 reps is where you will spend most of your time.

    It depends on the bodypart and what you prefer. I have a 2 minute rest period, which is 1:50 on my stopwatch.

    10 is the most reps I will do for most movements, for traps lately I do more and find that it works very well. Most of the time I shoot for around 9 reps at most.

    Mudge, 6-12 reps is a pretty large range... do you give such a large range because certain body parts do better with more reps and some do better with less?

    I have a VERY underdeveloped chest, what kind of set/rep would you recommend for incline, decline, and flat bench as well as the fly machine...


    Thanks bro

    Right now I start with declines, then go to the incline bench, and then move to pec dec.

    Declines roughly 4 sets, 315 for all sets
    Inclines on the smith, 275 and work down to 245
    Pec deck, this one has handles that move somewhat freely

    For me on chest day I prefer never to go over about 9/10 reps or so. I've put 20 pounds on my bench in the last 12 days, so these numbers change every workout

    nice work Mudge, you still bulking? I'm in this constant struggle between cutting and bulking... i really wanna have my cake and eat it too... I know deep down that I won't get big unless I really commit to it... I think I may work to get lean, then once I'm tired of looking at a well defined toothpick, I'll start getting serious about bulking...

    thats what I had to do. Im not a big fan of bulking hard cause I hate that bloated feeling from eating so much. Not to mention not being able to see what we have worked so hard for.

    But after cutting for a few months it becomes way more appealing. This is my first time bulking correctly and my strength is at new levels for sure.
