wow, imo anything over an hour is too long

i'm a gym rat, but no way could i be effective and train hard with that workout

what's with the 20 reps? are you lifting light weights for a reason?

[BIG TEXAN]

That's a whopper of a workout. You should only need 3 to 4 exercises per body part. Anything more and you're really just wasting yourself. What ae your goals with this kind of workout?

[prostreet1500]

the 20 reps is sopost to help me get definition. im trying to keep on bulking and get sumwhat shredded. but the main part of this workout is size. what do you guys think i should do? keep in mind i can only go tothe gym 3 days a week. i dont ahve alot of time

goto boarders and buy Arnolds encylopidia of Modern B.B. and follow his workout. I started using this workout a month ago and i have seen great gain.

[kc]

i like that book...it's some good information for beginners or even just for brainstorming when making a new routine

[Jackman]

You said your going mostly for bulk then whats with 20 reps? Go with 6-10 if you wana bulk up

[prostreet1500]

the 20 reps is sopost to help me get definition. im trying to keep on bulking and get sumwhat shredded. but the main part of this workout is size. what do you guys think i should do? keep in mind i can only go tothe gym 3 days a week. i dont ahve alot of time

[dangit]

I've never gotten any definition from doing 20 reps. The only time I've ever gotten definition is from flexing the crap out of the body part in between sets and after a workout. Getting your body fat level down below 10% really helps out too

I have a guy that works out with me every once in a while and he goes crazy trying to get his arms defined and does 20+ reps and even does drop sets while I'm doing my set. Puts on a good sweat, but never gets anywhere. I just do 8-10 reps or less sometimes and my arms are still growing.

got my best gains this year by going super heavy and strict and bringing my reps down. My legs actually got more definition from this.

[HiFi]

cut out some of the crap, try to do only 3 or 4 exercises per body part with heavier weight, otherwise u can keep doing what u are doing but thats like 5 or 6 exercises per body part and obviously ur using much less weight for each exercise to compensate for all the more reps.. stick to low reps, heavy weight.. if u want definition then its time to work on your diet, not lifting 20 reps

[Brian1200]

That is an awfull lot of volume in your workout, read up on H.I.T training by Dorian Yates, or some of Mike Metzer's books, I think your going to be burned out on training in a year or two if you continue to do the same workout your doing now, I used to do workouts like the one you posted when I was younger, the only thing that happened to me was that I was overtrained, tired, burned out, pretty soon I dreaded going to the gym. I would advise cutting your sets down, no more than ten total sets for back, chest, or legs, and for your smaller muscle groups, I would not do more than 6 to 7 total sets. Cut down the total sets and time of your workouts and up the total intensity level. Don't fall into the trap of thinking that more is better, good luck.
