My workout. Need Help
Ok my new workout consist of and the goal is maintanance with added strength. Full body 3 days a week with a day off in between workouts.
EZ Curls (50 lbs.)
Triceps Kickback (20 lbs.)
One arm dumbell rows (20 lbs)
Bench Press (60 lbs.)
JM Press (40 lbs.)
Lunges
Squats (80 lbs.)
So is this enough done 3 times a week. Right now i'm doing only 2 sets of 8-10 reps. Should I increase the amount of reps or weight or even types to gain strength over mass? Thanks to you guys who posted links in the stickies. I have been sitting here for 2 days trying to put names to everything so I could get some help. Should have read the stickies first, I guess.
And don't laugh at the weak PawPaw. I'm pretty comfortable with these weights and could probably add more and still finish the sets, but I'm not sure what I should be adding or taking away at this point. Actually I'd really like to add more leg stuff in there cause I really don't feel I'm working at full potential there even though I'm still running everyday. But then I don't want to end up with Arnolds legs and peewee's upper-body.
So any ideas to balance all this out?

Sorry, I just spent 2 hours going through that thread and all the links posted in it. It's where I found all the names for what I am doing. But knowing what I am doing is nothing if I have no idea what I should be doing. I lifted a weight for the first time in 30 years a week ago. So basicly everything you all say in most of these threads is like some foriegn language.
Maybe I need a IronMan Dictionary. Anyone know of one online?

Thank you. Sometimes you just have to spell things out for the children. Not everybody was born a Power Driven He-Man that understands what a dorsillatelaral flex is or whatever it was i was reading.

Dont worry about putting down the weight you're lifting though, just sets and reps for the exercises is fine. Now go read.
