Hi,

 

I have been lifting weights since summer 2000. I started with 4 sets of 10 reps of about 10-15 basic exercises. Then around 2003, I tried a list of exercises from Arnold Schwarzeneggers Encyclopedia of Bodybuilding. I started doing 10, 8, 6, 4 reps. In the last year, I did a 3 bodypart program per day, for 4 days a week that allows 48 hours recovery per bodypart. Right now, I am trying high rep from about 10-20. I have never trained high rep before. I am trying to improve muscular endurance and recruit more fibers. I am thinking of using my basic 4 day bodypart plan and just do whatever exercise I feel like that falls under part category. Then I would vary my exercises and also still get 48 hours rest between bodyparts. I try to keep my workouts under 1 hour. I have been working on cardio and abs lately to lose fat. I have gone from 205 pds down to 198 pds in about 5 weeks. My last few workouts I have tried raising my intensity.
