    WTF?

    Anyway, you seem to be wasting your time with 3 or 4 reps everywhere, and flyes for 3 reps?!?! Are you intentionally going for a strength-based routine, or are you wanting to build mass. Usually mass is best built between 6-12 reps.

    If you don't work your legs, you won't be taking advantage of increased levels of natural test and GH.

    Whats your bodyfat?

    Yeah you're right. Besides, hitting chest hard will indirectly hit the legs...

    This are good warm ups. What is your work out?

    Or are you really telling me that you do three reps on deads and are expecting growth?

    This is a good thirty minute work out for a busy executive that want to stay in shape, it will not build mass.

    There are a dozen workouts on this site that have been critiqued and fine tuned. Do some surfing, or if you are lazy you could just up your reps to 10 and keep the exercises you are doing. That would give you results for a couple months.

    Listen to what people are telling you about legs and don't listen to the BS that women don't look at legs.

    If you look at this article from the fitness repository, it tells you what five bodyparts women find most attractive.

    http://www.saponi.com/fitness/conten...artsdrool.shtm

    You will notice that glutes and calves are number 4 and 5. You won't get glutes and calves without doing squats and deadlifts so get lifting...

    There is a lot of sarcasm in this thread, that's true...

    No I misread what you wrote, 5x3 is five reps by three sets, correct. Still 5 is not high enough for mass building.

    You must have 2-3 inches of fat on your arms if you are only doing 165 lbs on the bench, because someone with 17" arms would be doing closer to 250 probably.

    There is no way that you will achieve 8 or 10 reps using the same weight you do for 4 reps, unless you are giving up at rep 4 and hardly trying. You will have to lower the weight to do more reps, but that isn't a problem.

    I think that is the problem. I have no clue what he is doing.

    Ray-- pick a weight that you can barely do ten time. Barely does not mean flopping around like a fish, but moving the bar is a slow deliberate path until it feels like you just about can't do anymore. Rest a minute or two and repeat. You have selected the right weight if number ten is really hard. Rest a minute or three. Repeat. You should get reps 9... 10 with difficultly. Note: if you start losing form, put the bar down and take off a little weight. Rest a minute or three repeat. You should be able to do NINE reps. If you can do ten, your weight was too low. If you can do more reps on your last set, do them.

    Rest while breaking down the equipment. Then move to your next exercise.

    It will take time to: a) get proper form b) know/feel the weight for each exercise c) feel when your pulse is ready for the next set.

    Doing three sets of five, does have a time and place, when you are working with a partner and are going very heavy. For the first 2-3 years, I would keep it simple and do four sets of ten, where you can get only nine on your last set.

    You are in the right place. There is a ton of great info here and a lot of really good people.

    Go for it.

    Really, I find this odd that no fatigue would take place between sets. If I started with 10 reps, I would finish with 6 and 4. If you are able to repeat 10 reps for three sets there is something wrong, unless its a certain exercise because there are some that you can keep doing the same reps with. In general though, I've found it impossible.

    I agree that if you started with a weight that you can do ten reps and no more with, then you would go something like 10..8..6..4. But here, for an intermediate lifter, you could do more than ten on your first set, but don't. Same on second set. Ten is your max on third set and nine... eight on your fourth.

    Thanks for explaining that. I've never understood the idea of holding out on the first set so that you get a clean sweep of ten rep sets. What is the reasoning behind it?

    Ok I think you should go back to basics, change the hole program, forget about how much weight he’s lifting and concentrate on the big multiple joint midrange movements with a 3 day split this will build you a sound foundation.

    Chest flat bench x3
    Incline bench x 3
    Fly’s x2
    Side laterals x 3
    Shoulder press x 2
    skullkrusher x 3
    Seated extension x 2
    Dips x2

    Off

    Squats x 3
    Leg press x 3
    Leg extension / curls x 2

    Off

    Shrug’s x 3
    bent rows x2
    Pull-ups x 3
    pull downs x 2
    Bicep curl x 3
    Hammer curl x 2
    Incline alternative D/B curls

    As simple as that, start as slow as you wish and build up your weights over time, it doesn’t mater how little are how much you lift as long as you progress each week....

    Progressive resistance. Until you have the necessary muscle hardness and strenght, doing your set of ten to failure (10), second set to failure (8), etc. will just burn out the group. After your first exercise, you can't lift enough weight to cause growth, just fatique.

    Whereas, by holding back a little on the first few sets, you get more work in. Think about it. If you do for example, 100 kg x 10, 90kg x 8, 80kg x 6 and 75 x 4, you move 2,500 kgs, whereas if you do 10 x 90, 10 x 90, 10 x 90 and 9 x 90, you do 3510 kg or 40% more work. Add to this that you can then can only do 60 kgs, 50kg, 40 kg, etc. on incline after maxing out four time on flat, you will quickly see that the amount of weight you move IN TOTAL is greatly reduced. You want to delay total muscle fatigue for as long as possible. By holding back, you can actually do up to three time more work (mass/time) which equates to solid gains as you move towards your natty potential.

    Obviously, this can be takenn to absurdity, but I think you see the point.

    Both methods have their time and place, depending on skill, goal, experience, etc.

    Based on Roy's split, I made certain assumption regarding these factors and feel safe in my recommendation.
