The Waterbury method by Chad Waterbury, do as written.

Read "read before posting" in the diet section as well.

- 10 sessions/week is too much
- do as suggested above

you've got to forgive me but im really wet behind the hears when it comes to this i only did curls and bench press when i was young can you tell me is part where it says a or b is that a super set and if so how does it work

swanso5 · Post by **swanso5** » Sun May 25, 2008 3:35 am

replace chins with deadlifts i reckon...

a1/a2 set up:

b asically alternate all a exercixes befroe moving to b exercises so if it sats a1 - rows and a2 - bench press do 1 set of rows, rest as it says, 1 set of bench, rest, rows etc untill all sets are complete then do all b's, c's etc

make sense?
