    i dont remember how long it tooked, probably a few months, getting a ripped lean look takes time, u have to do something over a long period of time WITH CONSISTANCY in order for your body/muscles to take shape. when doing pullups to work back u want palms out not palms facing you, a nice wide grip but not too wide and u want to be able to control yourself going down too. u can start adding weight once u can do 10 pullups very easily. the thing about working back is u really have learn how to pinch your lats on your excersizes and get that squeeze. when i started doing back i did alot dumbbell rows too, and make sure u stretch your lats out alot, gives them room to grow and they dont get all tight.

You can do 6 excercises per muscle group but you'll have to have the weight a lil lower then you start cutting up instead of building and thats NOT what i'm going for.

    You didn't say sore, but a lot of people do. It was a blanket statement. How do you know you're overtraining the muscles? Overtraining doesn't happen on one training session, it happens over a period of weeks when you don't allow the body to rest. It's huge fatigue, as in not being able to even move that muscle group without pain if you have the energy to move at all.

    And you can bulk with 6 exercises. 6 is a little high, 4 or 5 yes. One of the best regimens i've heard some powerlifters use is the 5 5's. that's 5 sets of 5 for each exercise. If you have to use a lower weight on subsequent exercises for that muscle group then that's ok. Your muscles don't know how much each weight there is. For power you choose a weight that you can hit 4-6 reps on. if you just did heavy chest then for your incline chest you have to use less weight so you can push out 6 reps then so be it. You're still getting a great muscle workout because it's expending all the energy you have to knock out 6 reps. Weight is just a mental thing. You base your exercises on clean reps. For shaping and toning you'll use about 8-12 reps so you should be pushing your body hard on the last few reps. for the 6 rep range that last one should be a struggle. Your body just knows the stress it creates to get this struggle. Muscles are dumb, they don't know "uh oh, we are 10lbs lighter this week so we're not going to get as good of a workout" when in reality you just did that exercise first on the previous workout and you performed it last on this workout. That's another reason why i change up the order of my exercises each week.
