alright here we go...
- strength is gained using a wt that is heavy enough to allow no more than 5 reps at your top wt...i suggest building up to 5 rep max over at least 5 sets increasing wt each time you do this
- endurance is gainedwith longer time under tension so time is probably a better variable to use here than reps...i suggest using a big compound or olympic exercise and do multiple sets of 2mins...this won't be super heavy as we want to be able continue to do reps for the while time, not take breaks half way through
- everything in between doesn't really matter
- now i'm not sure what you're training for but i suggest using a full body workout 3 times a week (mon/wed/fri etc) using nothing but compound exercises with a set up like this;
exercise 1 - strength exercise as above for a deadlift and chin up variation...on the 3rd day you won't do it like this but rather 4 x 6 or something for bench press variation
exercise 2 and 3 - secondary exercises such as a row, chin up, bench press, squat, deadlift or shoulder press variation depending on what your strength set was
exercise 4 - 5 - same as 2 and 3
exercise 6 - endurance set as above choosing something you haven't done already on the same day
- bicep and shoulder day with 1 compound exercise for the whole day? thi isn't looking so good...

alright thanks i am going to continue the waterburry method i decided atleast for the four weeks then something new and i am not training for anything in peticular i do play soccer and swim btw could you help me on nutrition as of now it looks like this
breakfast around 7 a.m. either 3 scrambled eggs mabey some toast or oatmeal i also drink a serving of whey protien here
lunch-around 12 p.m. what ever the healthiest think school is serving always includes a lean protien
3 p.m. i get out of school and will probaly come straight to the gym but may go home first and get a light snack mabey a bananna or something
when i get home from working out i will drink another serving of whey and will usually a large 35-40 oz smoothie.
around 7-8 p.m. sometimes earlier if mom is on top of things i will eat dinner which always includes fruit protien carbs and a veggy
and i am drinking a third serving of whey then
i know i should eat 5-7 small meals a day but it is hard with highschool schedule i could probaly bring a bananna or something of the like to school and eat it between classes. I was thinking that i should just drink 1-2 meal replacment smoothies during the day somewhere and that would negate the whey and the brand i was probally going to choose is myoplex

(I'd skip the Banana, and just have something simple before a workout, like a Whole-grain Chickn sandwhich for example, and give it 30 mins to digest if possible before training, to get some of the Carbs releasing.)

(I'd go for a Myoplex then, keep things simple)
- add frfuit to meal 1
- you need a fruit and solid protein meal mid morning
- plenrty of veg/salad too for lunch...try snd avoid too much bread, pasta and rice
- you need another solid protein, veg, salad meal mid afternnon
- add some sugary cerial, rice, pasta or bread to after workout meal
- you don't fruit after training so take out for dinner if that was correct what you wrote...you only need shakes straight after trainign so 1 a day with the other s being actual solid food
- you can always make food work...i organise 10 meals a day so i think you can do 5 - 7
- do thw WM as written...i don;t like repeating myself
