damn. that sucks. ya i read the stickies. ive never heard of this kind of training program but it sounded good at first, then i read on here the p / rr / s and i liked the sounds of that better than this, but ive already been doin it for a while
i shall go back to square 1 and post again so one question remains when making my workout for size should i focus on the weaker or stronger variations of exercises? thanks for the feedback |

weaker or stronger variations of exercises?? huh? anyway....when going for size focus on a) heavy execises which lead to high amounts of protein degredation and b) moderate exercises (shorter rest) which lead to high amounts of metabolic activity/mechanical work and of course c) EAT |

different grip positions for various exercises
different techniques what im getting at is should i do the exercises where i can lift the most or bring up my weaker areas i dont know how i should be putting this as you can tell im pretty new what raised this question is when i was talking to someone about shoulder exercises. he said to gain the most size presses do the trick cause you can lift the most doing those exercises i was just wondering if thats true or should i work all areas of the muscle chest for ex incline / decline / flat do which you lift the most for size or do all or do your weakest Last edited by jonner : 05-31-2006 at 12:11 AM. |

Seeing as how you are just getting back into resistance training, I would begin by utilizing weights that fall into the 12-15 repetition range. Going heavier than that right now is not needed. You will see sufficient adaptations both neurally and structurally while allowing your connective tissues to strengthen and practice good form. I would do this for a minimum of 2 weeks, but a 4 week phase or even longer is probably a better idea.

i have been in the gym for over 4 weeks now. i did take it easier, but not quite 10-15 reps? does that mean i should still hold off on goin hard for a lil while?
ok tomorro is going to be my first day of the push pull legs program im going to start with the back / bi workout for exercises like the bent over row would you 1-do 2 sets of same grip position while the following week change grip position 2-do 2 sets 2 different grip positions |

That program is horrible. Jumping right into a push/pull/legs split is a bad idea. You need some basic strength to build upon. Do what CP said. 2 days per week 12-15 reps... something like this:
Push / Pull Push Squats - 2x12-15 Bench Press - 2x12-15 Military Press - 2x12-15 Triceps - 2x10 Abs - 2x10 Pull Deadlifts - 2x12-15 Barbell Row - 2x12-15 Pulldowns - 2x12-15 Biceps - 2x10 Abs - 2x10 Push/off/Pull/off/off/repeat |
