    Great read

    Can I suggest - as other posters on MFP do, can you add links to your 2 threads in your signature so that they're easy to find and read if people want to see them? I would like to read your first thread but not looking forward to wading through X pages to find it - with any luck it will be close!! :smile:

    *takes notes*

    Never really got into using free weights, I've just been using gym machines, now that I've built up a decent amount of strength I'm looking to transition to a free weight routine, and this looks perfect.

    just a question? ive always known itss best to stick to low reps but i was under the impression low was 8-10, so ive been lifting weights that i start failing at 6-8.. so this is wrong? heavier and less reps?

    I'd personally include bent rows also to maintain good balance in the shoulder.

    And I'd just do all those exercises every workout. (and that is what I do :smile: except 8x3) Same principle though.

    Good post.

    Awesome post!

    Throw some Creatine into your nutrition plan and you'll be making amazing gains in no time :D

    Not a bad guide but you should emphasize progressive overload more

    Why is it necessary to rest for so long between sets?
