    IF you looking to gain strength look up the 5x5 program. The best way to gain strength is to work your entire body and not isolating one mussel group.

    I love Jillian Michael's DVD's and books. A few of my favs: her book "Making the cut" - has great workouts in it. Also the DVD, "Shred it with weights" is awesome. I just picked up one of her new DVD's "Extreme Shed and Shred." Haven't tried it yet, but I super excited about it. Also I know a lot of people on MFP like her "30 Day Shred Video."

    You could also go the route of P90X or Insanity. Both great intense workouts.
    Hope this helps.

    Full body compound weight lifting is the fastest and most efficient way for strength building. Like has already been suggested, 5x5 is great.

    Yep 5x5 is great i would agree.

    If you want abs drop the fried foods and start squatting.

    I've started out by doing the ChaLean Extreme workouts. I highly recommend them.
