IMO, it's a matter of personal preference. I recommend you give HST a try. Cut out the cardio, and tweak your diet.

Anywhere from 1 to 4 sets total.

"Do you have a motto or quote?" I do now, it's in my signature.

Not that you don't have enough info here already, but here's a little more I found: web page My favorite part is the line at the end:

Interesting. I still think you could handle my 8 set workouts. 1 set to failure of each, 1 minute rest between each.

Let me give you an idea of what I'll be doing. For chest/triceps, 50% of my max for 30 degree incline bench press, 1 rep, 1 minute for positive, 1 minute for negative, immediately followed by, max weight I can do for 6-8 reps flat bench fly, immediately followed by, drop 30% do another set of...

I'm going to be incorporating this technique into my workouts for the month of December (along with drop sets). Do you have any experience to share about this technique?

15, 20 minutes tops. No, you'd only do 1 set of each. "Muscles in Minutes", I wasn't very impressed with it. I'll have to read that. You could always try 2 workouts of 3. workout # 1 30 degree incline bench press squat chin-up, close-grip, palms face you workout # 2 parale bar dip deadlift...

Re: Re: Why Not Pilates? According to that article, they don't even consider it exercise.

Who told you squats & deadlifts together are not a good idea? I see no problem with it, but, considering your goal, I think you could benefit from more exercises. 1 set to failure once a week of squat, deadlift, weighted parallel bar dip & weighted chin-up, is a great routine for developing...

True.

Yesterday I never even heard of 'pilates' until I was checking into the web site of the 'Super Slow Exercise Guild' Then today I heard a spot on the radio about it being the latest fitness craze. Here's what 'Super Slow' has to say about it: Why Not Pilates?

I utilize pre-exhausion supersets to bring up lagging body parts. For pecs I would suggest 1 set of the following: superset flat bench fly 30 degree incline press Wait 2 or 3 minutes then: superset incline fly weighted parallel bar dip Choose weights that allow you to fail between 8-12 reps...

I've seen a few of yours. Nice work. Don't take my earlier post the wrong way, it's just nice to know who your talking to, know what I mean?

PB&J Consider using that workout HST style. And I couldn't resist this: web page

No offense, but I've seen a lot of advice thrown around on other boards from 'mods' that I wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole, and none of those guys had pics either. Besides, a picture speaks a thousand words.

Where can one find your picture? And the other mods while I'm at it?

Heres' my current HIT workouts I just started today: I'll be working out Monday/Friday one week, and Wednesday the next, repeat. First 4 weeks I'm working in the 15 rep range, then 4 weeks of 10's followed by 4 weeks of 5's. I'm doing 1 set of each exercise in the order written alternating...

Glad to hear it. I know my workouts don't look like much, but when you properly apply appropriate training principles they are effective. It still amazes me how little is really required to make progress when done the right way.

I just started a new routine today. I'll be working out Monday/Friday one week, and Wednesday the next, repeat. First 4 weeks I'm working in the 15 rep range, then 4 weeks of 10's followed by 4 weeks of 5's. I'm doing 1 set of each exercise in the order written alternating between these 2...
