    Is this Right guys?

    Well guys I'm getting ready try this program on moday and it will look like this- Monday- Biceps/Trices, Tuesday-Quads/Hams/Calves, Wendesday-Off, Thursday-Chest/Shoulders Friday-Lats/Traps/lower back, Saturday & Sunday-Off
    My question is for all those exercies I thought about doing a 4 sets for each with a 10,8,6,3 rule or a 5 set with a 10,8,6,3, 1 rule. Which do you like? Plus each set I increase the weight right?

    It's weird back then before I found this board and asked questions to lifters at my gym I use to be at the gym like six days a week. I would work the same muscle continiously. I would do like bicep exercies and legs on the same day. Then I would work the biceps again the next day. Now I know why my muscles didn't grow. Now with the plans that some of you suggested my biceps feel still a little fuller. I took this past Saturday and Sunday off. Surprisingly when I was working the same muscles continiously back then when I wasn't doing things correctly my muscles felt like they were shrinking. I think because I wasn't giving my muscles time to rest/grow. Right? Now I feel after resting my muscles for two days they are not that tight as when I was working out, but they still feel a little full(my biceps really). Am I right with this an my observation?

    That work-out is fine.

    Yes, you're correct about working out less. You were over training before and this would cause the lack of a pump.

    People at your gym said you should work-out 6 times per week?

    I like the first one better, I'm guessing your pyramiding the weight up right?
    I like 4 sets with like 8,6,4,2 Once I can get more than 2 on the last set I bump the weight up a little.
    I don't like doing the one rep max you have on your second one, to much chance of injury plus I train alone so it wouldn't work for me.
    Cool

    Pyramiding

    I am wondering what your ultimate goal is? Your rep range should reflect this. What does pyramiding weight from 12 to 2 do for you? If you fatigue your muscles by hitting failure at 10-12 reps, then 8-10 an so on, you have very little left for the power lifts. Not only is this not benificial to building muscle, you are prone to injury during the power sets. My opinion is this. Learn about cycle training. If you want to powerlift then develop a routine and cycle for 8 to 10 weeks. The same goes for strength or mass. All have their own science so be specific and accomplish one thing at a time.
