LOL OK.
I think that's more shit than I do in a month, and it doesn't include legs or back.
Don't fall over now.

typed it there. I use 40-140lbs.

I use the 40lbs to warm up, afterwards I just increase the weight till I'm fully pumped.

40-140lbs doesn't mean anything. The weight isn't the matter there, you are doing way too much volume for some little muscles ...

Maybe that for building muscles you will be able to. But honestly performance and time wise this isn't great at all. Unless you use AAS.

I'm trying different workouts and techniques to see which fits me best. I have to point out I'm just 15, so I really can't say I can lift 200lbs unless it's a barbell and on a bench.

* I didn't quite understand the second line you wrote.
The only supplements I've taken are the Animal Pak, and Size On, but I already ran out of both.

I hope they were not test-booster, because you are 15 so it would NOT be good at all.

Sorry I'm a frenchie so sometime english just mess-up.

For your workout what I meant is that you don't need that much exercises. You will only lead your muscles to EXTREME fatigue and your body won't be able to recover properly and you won't have your optimal muscle growth.

Plus, your strength gains are slowed because you are totally destroying your energy and muscles by doing too much repetitions/sets (volume).

One exercises per muscles groups three times a week, is far enough to build muscles and develop strength. Instead of 10 exercises per muscles groups 2 time a weeks, witch will lead obviously to overtraining.

Nah the Animal Pak only contains vitamins, and Size On is creatine gluconate.

Yeah I'm totally aware that over training is bad. I only train arms 2 days a week, and I arrange workouts so that they're pretty separate, giving arms proper time to recover.

I'm actually trying the overload technique to see if it fits me well. I guess I'll see results tomorrow, since today I did what I wrote above.

You won't see the real result over-night, the only thing you can see is the "pump" or temporary hypertrophy (A water retention that our body does around muscles to shoot nutriment).

For your program, try it if you want, after 6 month come back, try a well made program and you will make 6 time faster results.

And by the way when I said AAS it means steroids.

Yeah I know, the creatine helps on that and it won't be 100% muscle.

I was originally doing Pete Sisco's program, but since I didn't have a 600lbs barbell (and I'm sure I wouldn't be able to lift one yet) and the heaviest thing I have is 140lbs. when I tried the program, I didn't actually felt tired, and so I put up some more exercises.

Sisco's program contained 4 exercises, and they were all 2 sets, last one being till exhaustion. But as I said before, I actually didn't get that tired, so I threw in those other exercises.

I know I'm probably screwing up since I'm not an expert or anything :P I thought that by throwing in more exercises I'd compensate for not having 400 or the 600lbs. Sisco wanted.

I'd appreciate if you wrote a quick sample of a workout I should follow though, and I'd try it and see how it works :)

lol ok.
I was reading the waterbury method and the author or w/e wrote that it was designed so there was no muscle failure, the total contrary to Sisco's method lol.

But thanks dudes, you're already pros so I'll just follow what you say.

I also thought about laying off the creatine.
