WORKOUTS

 I usually train 1 body part per day during the week.  This type of training has worked best for me throughout the years.  I'm not saying that "SPLITS" do not work, but I personally have had the most success with this schedule.  I believe I overtrained when doing "SPLIT ROUTINES" and never gave my body the proper time to rest and repair itself.  I have put on more lean mass and have made better strength gains with this approach.  I always try to give primary and secondary muscle groups 72 hours of rest before I hit them again.  The main thing is to get into the gym.  It might take you awhile to find what works for you, but you will eventually learn what works best for your body and how it adapts to certain workouts.

Here is an example of what a typical week's worth of training looks like for me:

 I typically do 1 body part per day, and 4-6 exercises (depending on time, I may "Super-Set" 2 exercises together) for that particular muscle group being trained.  I do  a "WARM-UP" set with my first exercise, just to get the blood flowing and get the muscles warm. The last thing you would want to do is start lifting "COLD" and pull or strain a muscle, which could eventually put you out of commission, and also cause severe injury.  I then proceed to perform 4 sets of each exercise, coupled with REPS ranging anywhere from 12-15, 10-12, 8-10, and 6-8 on the preceeding set.  I constantly increase the weight as I move on to each next set.  I rest anywhere from 45-60 seconds in-between sets just to keep my heart rate up and keep the pump flowing.  So to sum it up, each body part will receive 17-25 TOTAL sets, and there will always be some form of Cardio or Abdominal work afterwards.
