Thanks for the advice Conan, but with my schedule right now once a week is maxing it (I don't do TV or magazines btw ). |
Conan's right. You have to want it badly or you're not likely to get it.
FYI: High wgt (90% of your max or so, few reps (2 to 5 or so); build strength. Moderate wgt (70 to 80% of your max or so), higher reps (9 +); build muscle mass. Many seem to like lots of sets.
If you can, look at
Ironman magazine for Feb 07. Read John Little's article
Powerful Muscel Medicine sub titled,
Doug McGuff, M.D. Discusses High-Intensity Training Dose/Response for Muscle and Strength - Part 3.
Good luck.
