Well Im a normal sized guy that's looking to gain weight and get stronger at the same time. Lately I've been doing upperbody one day then lower body the next. I usually do a set of 12 then add weights and do a set of 8 then add more weights and do a set of 6 and then I take some weights off do a set of 8 and take some weights off agian and do a set of 12. I'm pretty new to this so any help is much appreciated.
search "the waterbury method" and "big boy basics" by chad waterbury for good beginner type programs that will work...let me know what you think of them
thanks i looked at both and i prefer the big boy method but i have one question when it says 5RM (repition maximum) what does that mean? i'm not quiet sure
5RM = 5 rep max meaning use a wt that you can lift 5 times and no more without assistance and use this set for all sets but increase as prescribed or once all sets and reps are reached
