I would cut the rest period to 60-90 seconds. Make a training log (im sure there are plenty on the internet you can print out). Force yourself to go up on weight EVERYTIME (or reps but you should be goin up on weight very easily at first) Keeping a training log helped me put on muscle faster than anything else. Try to add 5 or 10 pounds to each excersice and only work out each muscle group once a week. Abs you can get away with twice. If you are having trouble goin up each week try a different routine, 5x5's work great for some.Originally Posted by Babel
